Favorite Quote:
&quot;He&rsquo;s not perfect. You aren&rsquo;t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn&rsquo;t going to quote poetry, he&rsquo;s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don&rsquo;t hurt him, don&rsquo;t change him, and don&rsquo;t expect for more than he can give. Don&rsquo;t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he&rsquo;s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don&rsquo;t exist, but there&rsquo;s always one guy that is perfect for you.&quot; <br /> &mdash; Bob Marley


I think that as being humans we don't really know what we want or appreciate what we have. Some just don't even care to bother while others strive to care.

See, I know what it's like to have nothing. I know how it feels to be alone and homeless. Now, I'm not saying this is a free ride for myself to make up excuses to be greedy. Not even close, but as we come to think about all the things we go through and all the things that really matter,soon we see that not everything we think we want or need is actually a necessity and what we desire.
I wish that everyone in life could just open their eyes, at least for a day to see and appreciate all that we have. Let me just say: "Having something to even hold is better than having nothing."
