inspirational basketball sorry
Sorry!' Dave's friend yelled when he saw me. 'That was my-' But i wasn't listening as,instead,i took every bit of the anger and stress of the last few minutes and days put it behind the ball, throwing it overhead at the basket as hard as i could. It went flying, hitting the backboard and banging through the netless hoop at full speed before shooting back out and nailing Dave Wade squarely on the forehead. And just like that, he was down.
inspirational running past
Because this is what happens when you try to run from the past. It just doesn’t catch up, it overtakes … blotting out the future.
inspirational silence loud
Silence is so freaking loud
love inspirational strong
Holding people away from you, and denying yourself love, that doesn't make you strong. if anything, it makes you weaker. Because you're doing it out of fear.
inspirational life i-hate-you
It's a lot easier to be lost than found. It's the reason we're always searching and rarely discovered--so many locks not enough keys.
inspirational life thinking
It's just that...I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.
inspirational judging sometimes
Sometimes it seems safer to hold it all in, where the only person who can judge is yourself.
inspirational motivational heart
The best gifts come from the heart, not the store.
inspirational thinking judging
Don't think or judge, just listen.
inspirational life strength
Anyone can hide. Facing up to things, working through them, that's what makes you strong.
love inspirational time
There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you'd better learn the sound of it. Otherwise you'll never understand what it's saying.
inspirational inspiring treats
You should never be surprised when someone treats you with respect, you should expect it.
fiction hard tendency weakness
I have a tendency to embellish: I think it's a weakness of fiction writers. Once you know how to make a story better, it's hard not to do it all the time.
