“There is this odd trend

of taken women

saying they are too much,

and how the men they love

are amazing for dealing with them.

Love should not be a responsibility.

You should not have to deal with me.

Just because a woman is wild

and free

does not mean she is difficult.

He is not a martyr for loving me

through the good

and not so good.

Some mornings I will wake up swinging,

you do not get a gold star

for still loving me.

Some mornings I will wake up like a lamb,

you do not get a gold star

for loving me.

I am not a hurricane of a girl,

you always have the chance to leave.”

Never debate or argue, but let the one goal be to keep calm, self-possessed, and cool.

Never debate or argue, but let the one goal be to keep calm, self-possessed, and cool. Do not strive to control others. You have enough to worry about controlling yourself. One of the biggest evils of this life comes from the desire to rule others. The rights you claim, grant freely to others. No one poor, weak piece of human clay has the right to dictate the road to immortality or sit in judgement on a fellow-being.

i'm such a fool!

my thoughts are free to go anywhere,

Faith is believing in something when common sense tells you not to.

Unchain my heart,

Unchain my heart, 

set me free, 

cause i can't see, 

can't breathe, 

can't be without you. 

Unchain my heart, 

set me free please
