I found a quote I like for some reason in a book that I loved:
"And therefore it seems (though rarely) that love can find entrance not only into an open heart, but also into a heart well fortified, if watch not be well kept."
Francis Bacon
You should all read The Girl in Times Square. Paullina Simons

I try.
According to you I fail.
A break in composure towards you.
But if you really stopped to look past the "bitch", you might see what's underneath.
You might see how much grace is given to you.
You might see words unspoken and frustrations dealt with.
You might see a heart eventually softened only to be slapped again and again.
When will you open your eyes.
Not eveything is about you.
But then again.
Not everything is about me.
I will continue to stand here taking it from you.
Sometimes I will ignore it.
Sometimes I will vent to a friend or two.
Sometimes I will say what I really think as politely as I can manage.
But mostly, I will wish that you would notice that I try and try yourself.
Want to know who 'you' are?
Who is this written for?
This is for anyone who has ever had someone be mean to them or been mean to someone else.
I think you'll find this is you.

Just go look at that.
And see what I've been up to.

Everyone needs compassion
Love that’s never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations
Saviour
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender

Shine Your light and let the whole world see
We’re singing
For the glory of the risen King

It's very curvy.
Banana Back
It's a slippery slope.
Banana Back.
It lasts for ever and ever and ever
do do do do do do
Banana Back!

Girls are so mean.
Enough is enough already.
I'm honestly trying here.
I can't change the past, but I sure as hell am trying to change in the present.
Can't you see that?

It's hard to describe.
It's not that prince charming saved the damsel in distress.
He's not a prince, and damsels in distress have to learn that princes aren't what save them.
It's those days when you're zoned out and it still just works. No offence taken if you're quiet. Never mind if you stress out. Nervous? Stupid comments are my middle name.
Just hold my hand, I understand.
