"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

"Always forgive your enemies - Nothing annoys them so much.

Join The Army, Visit exotic places, meet strange people, then kill them.

Everyone makes mistakes. The trick is to make mistakes when nobody is looking.

"A thousand ways to die but one way to live.
You live like you are you.
If you are different so what?
I'm different and perfectly fine with that.
If we were all normal then the world would be a pretty boring place.

"You've got to learn to hate before you learn to love.
And you've got to learn to love before you learn to cry.
But you've got to learn to smile before you can do any of that.

"We live
We love
And we laugh.
If only it was that simple.
We get beaten
We die
we cry
we get rejected
We live in a fantisey.
No one actually cares.
No one is always there.
When you are down
And they are up
They laugh and laugh at you until it is never enough
Then the next thing you know they are the ones in your place and you in theirs.
Don't make their choices.
Help them up and make sure they are ok.
"

People who cry and wear black are labled Emo.
People who listen to screamo music are labled Punk.
Girls who wear pink and non boy clothes are labled Girly Girls.
Girls who wear boy and non girl clothes are labled Tom Boys.
Boys who love the color pink and act like a girl are labled Gay tom girls.
Boys who hate the color pink and act like a boy are labled Normal Boys.
People who don't eat meat are labled Vegaterions and are made fun of it.

But where Do i fall in? I am a blonde, love black, listen to screamo, Cry when i need to, Don't wear girly clothes but not all boy clothes, Love guys who act like a girl and storm off, but hate boys who act like those guys are gay, I hate how the animals get killed and we eat it but it is to delicious to deny it. So which lable am i? Labels are stupid and mess up your whole life.

"You have your whole life ahead of you.
But you only have one.
Do you follow your dreams?
Or stay with the crowd?
Don't let your life be controled by other people, even your parents.
Learn to stand up for yourself and for others if needed.
Sometimes it just takes a friend to lift even the weariest of spirts.
