Personal Quotes (4) Sometimes I think I have everything together, only to find it all over the sidewalk when I turn the corner
Dreams are way too important to be given up on. And what's even more amazing is when dreams become a reality.
I would rather be broke and doing what I love then rich and hating every second of it.
There are times when I feel like giving up, but I can't seem to walk away because it's the only thing that truly makes me happy. And life is too short to be miserable.
