The Way we Live
"We all have our own little struggles; pushing on forward as the tragedies doubles. A life led with pain and exhaustion too immense, I'm pushing down walls as my muscles go tense.
But these are the words that you'll never hear me spit. I'd never say I'm "giving up" or if I should "quit". I'm really freaking stupid so just tell it to my face, and even then I'd never give up the right to race.
I'm like a lone arrow drawn and shot from a bow, blustered by the winds of all the things I don't know. I'd never figure out if I'd reach the final mark, but I know that I'd never lose my glowing inner spark.
And that's all it takes just to keep this body going. With calloused hands in this ocean I'm still rowing. Searching for some land out amidst a sea of black; a wandering gypsy, bearing burdens on his back." - Chen Yuan Wen, 14th january 2013
"Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle." -Christian D. Larson
"Most great people have achieved their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure."

"You are more than a list of mistakes and if anyone tells you otherwise, let it be the last they make."

"Being brave doesn't mean never being afraid. It means doing it anyway because it's the right thing to do."
- Aimee Carter
"We're all scared most of the time. Life would be lifeless if we weren't. Be scared, and then jump into that fear. Again and again. Just remember to hold on to yourself while you do it."
-Emma Hoper, Etta and Otto and Russel
"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and presumption that once our eyes watered."
- Tom Stoppard
