I've seen too many bitter people who could use these words of wisdom.  You can recognize them because the first thing they think of is how someone else has hurt them and then they complain.  They never think they may be causing pain, too.

Never trust someone who tries to talk you into it!

Smile, it does change the world.

I saw an interview with Earl Campbell the other day and he said something he always tries to remember is something his mother told him growing up and I liked it so here it is:

"It doesn't take that much to be nice to people."

I think being negative and ugly takes a lot more energy than putting on a smile, even on bad days. Smiles are contagious.

Anyway I thought that was nice of him to say and considering how much he has been through, it struck a chord with me.
May light guide you through your turmoil and may darkness never cross your path.

White Light be upon you if that is your wish

"90% of everything is crap."

-Sturgeon's Law.
Instead of obsessing on the person you want to be, focus on who you DON'T want to be. It's much easier to not do certain things than to break your head on some ideal of yourself.

When the dust settles, you may find out you've become who you were supposed to be all along.

To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.
