I would rather have nothing than something that was only alright.

I never trusted any man not to find someone else; to stay with me if he had another option. to not find something in me that would have him heading for the hills. that was the other reason for not thinking long-term- when someone walked out, as they invairiably did, it wasn't too big a shock. a disappointment but nothing, I hadn't been expecting.

But feelings aren't like thoughts, they can't be changed at will.

My belief in God is personal, I do not need to browbeat anyone into agreeing with me, because I believe what I believe and I try to live by it. My belief in God is about trying to be the best person I can be in this life.

Old pain doesn't completely die. Time may soothe it, stoke over it until it looks like it has healed, but it never dies properly. It stays with you, it lives in the cracks of your soul, waiting for moments when you feel true pain

I'd spent so long trying to fit in,trying to be someone i wasn't,that i had no idea who i was any more.

If we're going to change the world for the better, kids need to know that they can by feeling good about who they are and helping others.
