I waited by the silent hills, In vain the hours passed; As moon and sun hid and sought – Memories turned to dust. Where you are, and when you shall Come back, I do not know;...

&ldquo;I&#039;m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can&#039;t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don&#039;t deserve me at my best.&rdquo; <br /> ― Marilyn Monroe &ldquo;This life is what you make it. No matter what, you&#039;re going to mess up sometimes, it&#039;s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you&#039;re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they&#039;ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they&#039;re your true best friends. Don&#039;t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they&#039;ll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can&#039;t give up because if you give up, you&#039;ll never find your soulmate. You&#039;ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn&#039;t mean you&#039;re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don&#039;t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life&#039;s a beautiful thing and there&#039;s so much to smile about.&rdquo; <br /> ― Marilyn Monroe

&quot;Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.&quot;- Bill Cosby
