Laura A. Shodire

"Think, Learn and Evolve, or Die..."

My Name is Laura Shodire. I am 19 years old.
I currently reside in Rancho Cucamonga, California.
My whole life is dealing with the architecture of words.
I prefer writing about political issues, personal theories,
and people that inspire me in general. I am individual of deep thought and great purpose.
I can see into your soul.
I'm not specifically defined by the things I like or like doing or like eating, or watching,
the people I hang out with, the places I go, the person I date, the clothes I wear,
the hair color I have-I am perfectly myself. I am passion personified...
Quotes thrill me.
I hope to someday conquer the world, cease the suffering,
end the evil. I want Fame and Fortune beyond anything anyone can imagine.
My word is gold. I trust so little, I love so much.
I am fervent, eccentric,
a wild child from birth onwards, easy to reason with, easy to love,
I will talk to the rich and the poor and
to you and all of yours. I never let anyone ever feel left out in my company.
Don't put me down, bring me down, Don't tell me I can't,
Don't tell me I will never turn their attention from a heaven of stars.
I know I'm someone worth knowing.
I always have something to say.
I'm constantly out to awe and impress.
I'm a complete and utter socialist who wants nothing but your world view and respect.
I value highly compassion and empathy.
Float me a feather and I'll fly you a bird.
I may test you, change you, even brake you-
but I will never be indifferent towards your opinions and such.
Forgive me for my cynicality-life has been very difficult and despite everything,
I hope to become a skilled and passionate person when it comes to any endeavor I choose to devote myself to.

Quotes I live by:

�Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider.�
-Francis Bacon,

"Only those things are beautiful which are inspired by madness and written by reason."
-Andre Gide,
and-

"Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it, and above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light."
-Joseph Pulitzer.

"Determination is born out of purpose....
knowing that you are gifted for something and this something must be attained.
It is never enough to rely on luck or natural talent.
You must, above all, believe in yourself, face your goals,
and then fight as if your life depended on it."

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I will meet you there."

"Though my soul may set in darkness,
It will rise in perfect light,
I have loved the stars too fondly To be fearful of the night"
