I am grateful for hands to tickle with. Not so grateful for that process in reverse, however.

While fun is desirable, regret is quite the opposite.

There are many roads in this world that will guide you to pleasurable, fun, and exciting destinations that do not end in any form of lasting happiness. So before you step on an enticing path, figure out where it leads.

Never give up. It's like breathing—once you quit, your flame dies letting total darkness extinguish every last gasp of hope. You can't do that. You must continue taking in even the shallowest of breaths, continue putting forth even the smallest of efforts to sustain your dreams. Don't ever, ever, ever give up.

All I ever wanted from you was to know that I was wanted by you.  That would have changed everything.

Do it again.Play it again. Sing it again. Read it again. Write it again. Sketch it again. Rehearse it again. Run it again. Try it again.Because again is practice, and practice is improvement, and improvement only leads to perfection.

You can add up your blessings or add up your troubles. Either way, you'll find you have an abundance.

There is no poetry without want. Desperate want.

Why certainly, words possess power.  They do!  But releasing their magic requires combining and arranging those words in the right order.
