Sometimes people take everything for granted. They think that the world is theirs and they will never lose a thing, or maybe they don’t hold enough consideration towards the small wonders of life. It is only once you have lost that which is precious to you; you realize how much you cared and how much you cannot bear to live without it. Your heart knots up and you shut down, desperately trying to grasp denial as if it was your life source. Even though you recognize, deep down, what the agonizing truth is.

The thing about teens is that we become so wrapped up in the moment that we don’t realize what effect it will have on our future until it’s suddenly our reality.

Negativity has the power to, not only seep into your own soul, but to prick those nearest you.

Beat and branded was the bird in the cage, who wanted to get out, but really wanted to stay.
