Apologies are not pass/fail.

Walls aren't put in our life to stop us, they are there to test how much we really want somthing.

Brick walls let us prove how badly we want our dream and they stop those who don't want it enough. Brick walls let us show our dedication.

When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody's bothering to tell you anymore, that's a very bad place to be. Your critics are the ones telling you they still love you and care.

Sometimes you can't pay it back, so you just have to pay it forward.
