Whatever you do for the sole purpose of having others admire you, your efforts will most likely be in vain.

When you please others in hopes of being accepted, you lose you self-worth in the process.

You have to understand that in a person's life there are a few precious moments in which decisions, choices that you make now, will affect you for the rest of your life.

Inside, my soul became so cold I hated everything. I even despised the sun, for I knew I would never be able to play in its warm presence.
