The ribbons! The wrappings! The tags! And the tinsel! The trimmings! The trappings!
Only you can control your future.
Don't conform for the sake of pleasing others. Mold yourself into the person that you want to be.
Try them, try them, and you may! Try them and you may, I say.
A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. To the world, you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
Words and pictures are yin and yang. Married, they produce a progeny more interesting than either parent.
