Destiny in the words of Jared Leto

Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

A Wonderful Quote

It is not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement. And at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

-President Theodore Roosevelt
Paris 1910

One Love

I remember the days when guys had "cooties" and it would annoy you if they chased you around during recess, but then you realized you liked them and you were girlfriend and boyfriend. I honestly wish it was that easy to find your "one true love."

Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.

Le Commencement

2011-04-18T17:47:00.000-07:00

My whole life I have been taught what is right and what is wrong. Always brush your teeth, never disrespect your elders, always follow the rules, and never, ever do anything to get yourself in trouble. From elementary school through high school, I have done as well as I could to follow the directions I was taught; however, college is the place to defy all rules at least once, to discover who I truly am.

Here I am: a young adult, doing everything I can to find myself, my true friends, and who I want to be.
