thinking too-good-to-be-true being-true
It's always been hard to call myself a writer. I think a part of me still thinks it's too good to be true.
thinking said plans
It was just one of those things," I said, "You know, that just happen. You don't think or plan. You just do it.
love marriage i-hate-you
Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you.
love life positivity
I like flaws. I think they make things interesting.
fun writing school
In school, writing was the only thing that really came naturally to me, but it wasn't until college that I realized that I could do it for more than just fun.
differences timing hours
Everything, in the end, comes down to timing. One second, one minute, one hour could make all the difference.
self-esteem believe stronger
Believe in yourself up here and it will make you stronger than you could ever imagine.
song people forever
I had no illusions about love anymore. It came, it went, it left casualties or it didn't. People weren't meant to be together forever, regardless of what the songs say.
goal pushing ifs
I always have a goal, even if I keep it to myself. It allows me to keep pushing myself.
inspirational thinking judging
Don't think or judge, just listen.
music peace people
Music is the great uniter. An incredible force. Something that people who differ on everything and anything else can have in common.
inspirational life strength
Anyone can hide. Facing up to things, working through them, that's what makes you strong.
character perfect long
I feel like Twitter was tailor-made for me, because I can do short spurts all day long. I loved my blog, but doing daily, then thrice weekly entries was really time consuming. 140 characters is perfect.
happens
Let's just start and see what happens.
