"I used to think none of this mattered. That whatever happened in life was just one more obstacle to either overcome or get burdened by. But then one day something happened and I felt that, that was by the case. That no matter what you tried there are some things you couldn't push through. So I started some bad habits and well... I ended up here. But I recently had a few words shared that made me start thinking otherwise again.... that maybe what I've been doing for so long is the opposite of what I should've been doing. I'm done hiding. It's time to let the world see the real me."

"There are things in life that I've grown to both love and regret. But I'm starting to wonder if my biggest regret should've been making connections with others when in the end.. it doesn't really matter what you say or do or how you feel. Things happen. Life happens. And you can't change it for all the world even if you wanted to or tried. I began thinking that perhaps there was nothing left to live for in this life.... but I've done some more thinking these past few days and.... maybe I'm ready to give it one more shot..."

"I can't help myself.... I just can't do it... I've tried and tried but... it seems like a fruitless effort. What's wrong with me? I want to get better don't I? So why is it that I keep going back to the same old habits as before?.. I feel like I've let everyone down...."

"I wish you could see yourself the way I see you. Not all the time.. just once. At least once. Maybe then you'd understand why I fight so hard for you. Why I'd do anything to make you happy...
is it working? Probably not... but I promise that one day, no matter what it takes, I'll make you see the good in yourself."

"Saw a woman eyeing him the other day. Couldn't she see she'd never stand a chance. I'd fight anyone for him. He's mine. And I'll be ****ed if I let anyone try to take him from me!"

"I know every man with a special someone might say it but I can't help it, it's the truth: I must be the luckiest man alive~ to have a girl like her.... not sure how it happened but boy I'm sure glad no one else caught her eye. She's the world to me, my guiding light in darkest days, the warmth that accompanies the sun, the pearl amongst sand, the force that keeps my heart beating. She's my sunrise and sunset, for I can't seem to start or end my days without her.
And yet I know I've done her wrong. So I find myself again asking how she could've ever chosen me? But here's no point in dwelling on the past. No. I refuse. I will do her love the justice it deserves and I will try my hardest to mend what I've broken. Maybe then, just maybe, I'll never have to see those painful tears fall down her beautiful face again....."

"I hate him. I hate him so much. His stupid perverted ways, his idiotic grin, the way he never keeps his hands to himself, how he's always laughing at me, the way his stupid nose wrinkles when he does, his dumb tallness, the way he looks at me, how he's always trying to hold me, his stupid cuddle sessions, the way he just shows up with coffee in the morning, how he smells, how warm he is, how nice he is, the way he-........... oh no..."
- Marcus

"If I had to describe her in one word it'd be-.... well... that's actually really hard.. all I can say is if I had to chose, I'd pick her over pizza any day~"
