Live for the little things because they will make you realize that this is what life is about, this is what it means to be alive." -(a.y)
7. You are not... You are
"You are not your age, Nor the size of the clothes you wear, You are not your weight, Or the color of your hair. You are not your name, Or the dimples in your cheeks. You are all the books you read, And all the words you speak, You are your croaky morning voice, And all the smiles you try to hide, You're the sweetness in your laughter, And every tear you've cried, You're the songs you sing so loudly, When you know you're all alone, Youre the places that you've been to, And the one that you call home, You're the things that you believe in, And the people that you love, You're the photos in your bedroom, And he future you dream of, You're made of so much beauty, But it seems that you forgot, When you decided that you were defined, By all the things you are not." -e.h
8. try to learn...

You will be dead soon enough." -Ernest Hemingway

22. Mother Teresa Prayer
"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway." -Mother Teresa
