Learn to breathe, learn to speak, but first... learn to feel.

Life deals from the bottom, sometimes, doesn't it?

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.

My tears speak for me.

Then there's that 'You're only as old as you feel' business, which is true to a point, but you can't be Shirley Temple on the Good Ship Lollipop forever. Sooner or later, dammit, you're old.
