~Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible."

~Drew Barrymore

"I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there."

Sorry for my lack of posting. I've been extremely busy and will probably be until two weeks from now, so until then, the posts will become more sparse and spaced out.

EDIT: Please keep clicking on the ugly Google ads, my darlings, even though I know they're annoying. I'm hoping if I can make a good amount of money, this could balance out my excessive spending, but I can't without your lovely help!
