Often when we realize how precious those seconds are, it's too late for them to be captured because the moment has passed. We realize too late.

Some people say that you shouldn't operate from a place of fear but if there is no fear, how is there a challenge?

Truth is I have nothing other to talk about but her and I know it bores people. I think I used to be interesting once upon a time.
