suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. i have been bent and broken, but -i hope- into better shape.

charles dickens, great expectations

    "I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

    A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself- and especially to feel or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to- letting a person be what he really is.

    How like a winter hath my absence been
    From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!
    What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!
    What old December's bareness everywhere!

    William Shakespeare, Sonnet XCVII (97)

    "And as imagination bodies forth
    The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
    Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
    A local habitation and a name."
