No matter how you try, something or someone will always come along to distract you from how far you have come and the goals you’re trying reach.

The road to being a better person is never easy.

Along the way you lose and gain friends, family, material things, and sleep, but we must push forward.

Kindness has always been taken for weakness.

Love is sometimes taken for granted.

True strength is shown when you still display both when people mistreat you. |THIS.
