only got to watch this girl perform just a few moments ago. now i understand what’s the whole fuzz about her is. the girl dared to dream and she’s now enjoying the abundant fruits of her hard labor. a very inspiring success story.

oftentimes, people are just too scared to try things out. they become overwhelmed by certain possibilities of failing, getting rejected and being labeled a sore loser. they fail to realise, that preempting everything makes them all the more scared and gives them negative thoughts even before their first attempt at doing something

“You forget all of it anyway.
First, you forget everything you learned — the dates of the Hay-Herran Treaty and the Pythagorean theorem. You especially forget everything you didn’t really learn, but just memorized the night before. You forget the names of all but one or two of your teachers, and eventually you’ll forget those, too. You forget your junior year class schedule and where you used to sit and your best friend’s home phone number and the lyrics to that song you must have played a million times… Who knows what it will be for you? And eventually, but slowly, oh so slowly, you forget your humiliations — even the ones that seemed indelible just fade away. You forget who was cool and who was not, who was pretty, smart, athletic, and not. Who went to a good college. Who threw the best parties. Who could get you pot. You forget all of them. Even the ones you said you loved, and even the ones you actually did. They’re the last to go. And then once you’ve forgotten enough, you love someone else.”

“You know what’s wrong with you? Miss Whoever-you-are? You’re chicken. You’ve got no guts. You’re afraid to stick out your chin and say, ‘Okay, life’s a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that’s the only chance anybody’s got for real happiness.’ You call yourself a free spirit, a ‘wild thing,’ and you’re terrified somebody’s gonna stick you in a cage. Well, baby, you’re already in that cage. You built it yourself. It’s where ever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.”
