Far too many people opened their hearts and lives at the drop of a hat. Why give someone that power over you? Why endow them with the ability to hurt you that much? Let someone in and you were asking for an emotional kicking some day.

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.

To know other people thought he'd made a mistake vindicated me. I wasn't a bad girlfriend, he was simply going through a period of temporary insanity and he'd come to his senses soon.

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.

I was in charge. Of it all. All the time. For ever.

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

I don't want to rely on something that could be taken away at some point.
