complain not about the long journey Jess, 
take a step at a time.
If there's pain, it's a sign you are alive.
And it's a sign you're fighting.
I am a fighter!
haiyak! :D
just for tonight, I'll let fear take over.
fear of the unknown.
fear of failure.
fear of being left behind.
fear of falling back on expectations.

and also anger.
and discontent.
at various things.
at the world.

She was inspiring. You know, she’s just like Allie in the movie: She laughs like that, she talks like that. She’s elated one minute and devastated the next. She’s a very real person. You tend to forget what real people are in this business but she was a jolt of reality, you know? - Ryan Gosling on his girlfriend.

be REAL.
be YOU.
do you have any idea just how rare that is?
cheers :)
" It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

-- Theodore Roosevelt, Sorbonne, Paris, France, 23rd April 1910
