Life is crazy, and totally unpredictable…It’s going to push you over, kick you while you’re down and hit you when you try to get back up. Not everything can beat you. Things are going to change you, but you get to choose which ones you let change you. Listen to your heart, Follow your dreams, and let no one tell you what you’re capable of. Push the limits, Bend the rules, And enjoy every minute of it. Aru

When the lamp is Shattered
When the lamp is shattered
The light in the dust lies dead -
When the cloud is scattered,
The rainbow’s glory is shed.
When the lute is broken,
Sweet tones are remembered not;
When the lips have spoken,
Loved accents are soon forgot.As music and splendour
Survive not the lamp and the lute,
The heart’s echoes render
No song when the spirit is mute -
No song but sad dirges,
Like the wind through a ruined cell,
Or the mournful surges
That ring the dead seaman’s knell.When hearts have once mingled,
Love first leaves the well-built nest;
The weak one is singled
To endure what it once possessed.
O Love! who bewailest
The frailty of all things here,
Why choose you the frailest
For your cradle, your home, and your bier?Its passions will rock thee,
As the storms rock the ravens on high;
Bright reason will mock thee,
Like the sun from a wintry sky.
From thy nest every rafter
Will rot, and thine eagle home
Leave thee naked to laughter,
When leaves fall and cold winds come ..Aru

Don’t ever let people tell you that you aren’t good enough because you are.Don’t ever give up your dreams because you need them. Don’t ever compromise your morals because they make you who you are. Don’t ever hide your feelings because someone’s willing to hear them. Don’t ever think you’ve got it all figured out because the next moment you won’t. Don’t ever live your life in the past because then you’ll miss out on the now. Don’t ever let people bring you down because they don’t deserve to. Don’t ever be someone you aren’t because then you’ll never know you who really are. Don’t ever let someone tell you how you feel because it’s not their right to. Don’t ever give up something that feels right because it probably is. Don’t ever worry about the petty things because they just don’t matter. Don’t ever run away from your problems because they always find you. Don’t ever be afraid to take risks because they make life worth living. Don’t ever let someone take away your happiness because it was never theirs to take..

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh; When care is pressing you down a bit… Rest if you must, but do not quit.Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint of the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit… It’s when things go wrong that you must not quit.✰¸.•.¸☮ .

”I was born to a woman I never knew and raised by another who took in orphans. I do not know my background, my lineage, my biological or cultural heritage. But when I meet someone new, I treat them with respect…. For after all, they could be my people.” ~James Michener, Author~
