In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln I love this quote, It speaks to me in such high volumes...

I have let what others think of me and their opinions affect me lately too much, it’s kind of a vicious cycle that I am hoping to break, I didn’t used to be like this, I keep going back and forth wondering “when did I change?” “When did I start caring what others thought?” “When did I started to change in order to “fit in” fit in to a mold” “Why am I allowing others power over my life?” those are questions (and many others) that not only I but many of you struggle with. I might not have all the answers but I have a deep understanding of life thanks to many things lived in my short 30 years, all my struggles, my adventures, my schooling, my hobbies, the diffe
