"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!" - Randy Pausch

Sade - Pearls (Live)

"It hurts like brand new shoes.." Certain amount of my naivety I embrace.. shit I've been through hell and back the fact I can still see the good left in the world is outstanding. Takes a moment to realize the need to protect yourself.. people say a many things that they want and need. Hidden agenda.. amo to unleash. The only thing that makes sense these days are the children I bared, to love and raise my children to believe in themselves more than I did, laugh harder and always listen to your heart.  The thought of the struggling mothers with less than half the opportunities I have available keep me grounded and grateful.
