Hopefully this goes through, I’ve had some trouble with WordPress this morning. So far seems okay. At the end here I’ll add in a poem from William Blake that I love.

“I’m not afraid of dying. But…living…is such a scary thing to do”
-Mitsuki, Arina Tanemura, Fullmoon Vol 5

“The summit of happiness is reached when a person is ready to be what he is.”
-Desiderius Erasmus

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
-Mahatma Ghandi

“Nothing endures but personal qualities.”
-Walt Whitman

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you.”
-Maya Angelou

“My favorite thing is to go where I’ve never been.”
-Diane Arbus

“I had no idea that history was being made. I was just tired of giving up.”
-Rosa Parks

“Do not fear going forward slowly, fear only to stand still.”
-Chinese Proverb

“Use what talents you have; the woods would have little music if no birds sang their song except those who sang the best.”
-Reverend Oliver G Wilson

The Smile by William Blake
There is a Smile of Love,
And there is a Smile of Deceit,
And there is a Smile of Smiles
In which these two Smiles meet.

And there is a Frown of Hate,
And there is a Frown of Disdain,
And there is a Frown of Frowns
Which you strive to forget in vain,

For it sticks in the Heart’s deep Core
And it sticks in the deep Backbone;
And no Smile that ever was smil’d,
But only one Smile alone,

That betwixt the Crade & Grave
It only once Smil’d can be;
But, when it once is Smil’d,
There’s an end to all Misery.
