For every shard of glass, A tear, For every hit to my body, A resolution, For every biting word, A decision; My walls are built My mind is set I am strong.

"Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, in as much as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and very fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterward carefully avoid"John Keats

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn&#039;t supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You&#039;ll have your heart broken and you&#039;ll break others&#039; hearts. You&#039;ll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you&#039;ll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you&#039;ve never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone&#039;s hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don&#039;t be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.<br /> - Unknown
