"it was so crazy... we walked all the way up the spiral-y steep steps to the top by the bell tower. we basically walked to the clouds, if you're wondering how high it was. my legs started hurting pretty bad but it was so worth it! when we got to the top i started thinking about how 5 years from now, i won't even remember the climb up as being anything but amazing because it got me to the view at the top... and that's how life can be. any struggle or pain you experience just gets you to the top. and you can't get there without making the climb. a few years later, you won't remember exactly the way the pain felt or how long it took, you'll just remember the view from the top. in fact, you might smile at the fact that you had to work to get there."
-- Hayley Williams (Paramore)

THE BIBLE


"For any one of us, forever could end in an hour, or a hundred years from now. You can never know for sure, so you'd better make every second count. What you have to decide is how you want your life to be. If your forever was ending tomorrow, would this be how you want to have spent it? Listen, the truth is, nothing is guaranteed. So don't be afraid. Be alive."
~~ The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen
