    How to love without expecting it, or demanding it in return. Better? I really don't know. But I sure am happier!

    I have learned to take the good and positive things from the PAST WITH ME into the PRESENT, live in the present so I can be part of the FUTURE.

    You are the culmination of your life's events. You cannot become a better person because of anything that has happened to you. You cannot become a better person regardless. How you view yourself is dependent only on your views. Better, worse, these are just words without meaning. Just be, and you will be the best person in the world.

    That I fail worse the second time, and I am unprepared for the third time, that I am ground harder into the dirt.

    We are the "imperfect trying to be perfect." Unfortunately, our past only reinforces our imperfections.
