If I wrote you a love letter, would you write back?

There had to be a better way - if I couldn't find it, I wanted to create it.

I can't have a lot of people around me all the time. It really bugs me out that I have that many people. I need to be by myself.

Move before you think you are ready. It is as if you are making it a little more difficult for yourself, deliberately creating obstacles in your path When you feel that you must work harder to get to your goal because you are not quite prepared, you are more alert and inventive. This venture has to succeed and so it will.
