One of Kristen's favorite quotes is:"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
None of us can help the things life has done to us. They're done before you realize it, and once they're done they make you do other things until at last everything comes between you and what you'd like to be, and you've lost your true self forever.
"Support should be more than just a structure against which to lean. It should push back. What good is help if all it does is enable continued co-dependency and limitation and frailty?"
This quoye has real meaning to me both past and present...
I have made some serious mistakes but I try my best to forget that.
Sometimes I think about the fact that I am only 5ft 7in tall and realize that my spirit is too big for my body.
When I see my son its like my heart catches fire.
Ive hurt people in the past. Quite a few. But dont worry. Karma has really taken its toll on me. Ive learned my lessons.
There is no satisfaction like that of unconditional love.
Yeah, I can be a little cocky, but only when I deserve it. Sometimes I'm not cocky enough so that levels it out.
When I drive in my car with the music up loud I like to sing at the top of my lungs. But when I get to a stop light I turn the radio down and hunch back in my seat.
I often think of embarassing moments in my life- and there are many- and they still make me cringe.

ure. Its full of surprises!
I am easily annoyed, but Im trying to work on that. Just dont chew your food too loud, blink too much, tie your shoelaces too tight, act like you know everything, smoke cigarettes, or needlessly chit-chat with me and we'll be ok.
I can never remember peoples names. Ill probably remember your face, though. But, even still, I wont be able to place it. Dont be offended.
My favorite things about myself are my resiliency, my diamond-from-the-ghetto attitude, and the fact that I dont let people walk all over me.
Ive punched two guys in my life. One was because I was defending my friend, the other was because he deserved it and more. I regret neither
I used to trust people too much. But now I trust them too little.
The top 5 things I have learned over the last few months
Learn to laugh. Enjoy where you have been, where you are, and where your going. Embrace the challenges you face along the way, and cherish the memories you make. Remember that what you see in life depends mainly on what you look for. Celebrate the simple joys of living and open your heart to all life holds for you.
Learn to listen. Take time to slow down and be still, for sometimes its only in silence you can hear your own heart. Listen to the wisdom it whispers and remain true to your destiny. Dont be afraid to admit when you are lost, because sometimes its only by becoming lost that you can finally discover who you are and what you want from life. Don't be afraid to be yourself and be brave enough to become the person you were meant to be.
Learn to let go. Allow your heart to heal from past hurts. Forgive failures and resolve regrets. Celebrate what was risked or attempted, improved or accomplished, and recognize that those who make no mistakes rarely make anything else, either.
Learn to love. Make commitments to what's important to you. Take risks for the things that truely matter. Remember love is not just something you feel, but the things you do. Give others the very best you have to offer, and leave the world a better place for what you have done and who".
