Favorite Quote:
&quot;Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away&quot;<br /> &quot;They will forget what you did, they will forget what you said, but they will never forget the way you made them feel.&quot;

Calling someone ugly will not make me pretty.
Calling someone fat will not make me skinny.
Calling someone slow will not make me fast
And
Calling someone dumb will not make me smart.
No matter what I call people
No matter what I say
Won't change me who I am as a person
But what people label me as

&quot;I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There&#039;s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it. &quot;
