To protect you. To watch your ass, for real. Chuck Palahniuk
What can you do when you don't fit in? What can you do when life seems to be passing you by?"Follow me. I want to show you something. See the horizon over there? See how big this world is? See how much room there is for everybody? Have you ever seen any other worlds?"No."As far as you know, this is the only world there is, right?"Right."There are no other worlds for you to live in, right?"Right."You were born to live in this world, right?"Right."WELL LIVE IN IT THEN! Five cents please. Charles M. Schulz
In my previous life I was a civil attorney. At one point I truly believed that was what I wanted to be- but that was before I'd been handed a fistful of crushed violets from a toddler. Before I understood that the smile of a child is a tattoo: indelible art. Jodi Picoult
