For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others.
For beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness.
And for poise walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
-Audrey Hepburn


Your my dad not me.
Why can't I tell you what I think?
It's not talking back.
I don't want to disrespect you.
I just want you to listen.
And maybe try to see things from my point of view.
Then maybe we could understand one another better.
And both be happier.
Just Listen.

I can totally relate to this. It seems like every conversation my dad and I have nowadays is just another argument. But he will never listen.
