Great quote and an awesome poem

some really great quotes.

"Changing yourself to fit in isn’t that bad.
The only other option is to accept being sad.
You can’t expect people to just like you for who you are,
It’s your job to make yourself someone worth caring for.

To love and to be loved is work from both sides.
If you sit back and watch you’re likely to be left behind.
To always be running,
And to never arrive.
To do what needs to be done,
To achieve that lovers high."
- Elizabeth greenwalt

"As Harold took a bite of Bavarian sugar cookie, he finally felt as if everything was going to be ok. Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies. And, fortunately, when there aren't any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin, or a kind and loving gesture, or subtle encouragement, or a loving embrace, or an offer of comfort, not to mention hospital gurneys and nose plugs, an uneaten Danish, soft-spoken secrets, and Fender Stratocasters, and maybe the occasional piece of fiction. And we must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days, are effective for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lives. I know the idea seems strange, but I also know that it just so happens to be true. And, so it was, a wristwatch saved Harold Crick."
