About

Life is built on small pleasures, big dreams, and hard work. It's okay not to know your destination, so long as you know your direction. I want to be strong and hardy, the way a dandelion seed is--to rise high and go far. In life, you don't always get as much as you give; but you will never get more than what you give. It’s okay not to know your destination as long as you know your direction. No single individual is perfect, but together we can almost reach perfection. You can make magic with the right people. Little gestures can make someone's day. There's no such thing as a habit, only daily choices. You should worry if a person you care about stops getting mad at you; it means they no longer care. Give me loud, sultry music. Give me bright, flashing lights. Give me a room full of people who share my love of dance. Sometimes we make jails of our own freedom.
