You have to remember what matters to you...

Life never fails to find a way to teach me something new. It can be through pain, mistakes made or even success. The hard part is being aware of these things and learning from them. You have to be extremely observant of yourself, which is much easier said than done. It takes some honest friends, maybe brutally honest ones, to tell you to your face what's wrong with you. There will always be something about me that I want to change, that I wish was different. And at certain moments, I wish that my circumstances were different. So much of it is just a mess that I wonder how I've gotten by at all. I should've died a horrible death long ago...but I didn't. I was saved by grace, re-affirmed by my faith. "God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I Cannot change… Courage to change the things I can And Wisdom to know the difference…" A simple request isn't it? Life is just waiting for us to make choices, to do the right thing. And when you hurt like hell, that's when you know you're alive. A scar is a beautiful thing, it builds character. Tears are a beautiful thing because they're real. I am a beautiful thing because I know I am loved just as much as I love...the same way that I love. Anyone can have that, and I can tell you how. If you want to know, just ask.

"If you need a friend, I'll be around. Don't let this end until I see you again. What can I say to convince you to change your mind of me? I'm gonna love you more than anyone. I'm gonna hold you closer than before. And when I kiss your soul your body will be free. I'll be free for you anytime. I'm gonna love you more than anyone."
