I'm not a leader; I'm a follower...

“The deep end is where the grownups play. It's where the monsters hang out, and the treasure too. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference, but you need to go there and see for yourself. Even if you don't swim, or you fear water, or you love terra firma beneath your feet. Sooner or later, you'll have to dive straight into the middle of the deep. Remember, Venus was born from the sea, not the shallow end of the pool.”

"And I think you need to stop following misery's lead
Shine away, shine away, shine away
Isn't it time you got over how fragile you are?
We're all wait, waiting
On your supernova.
Cause that's who you are
And you've only begun to shine."
-Anna Nalick's "Shine"

Moving On....

I don't have time to write, even though thoughts are swirling in my mind like a whirlwind.  So much has happened in the past couple of months.  While part of me wants to write it all down so I can remember later, the other part of me just wants to let it all go.   In the meantime, this is one of my favorite quotes.  It kind of sums up everything that I can't really put into my own words quite yet. 


“I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
