To be nobody but
yourself in a world
that's doing its best to
make you somebody else
is to fight the hardest battle you are
ever going to fight. Never stop
fighting.

CHEERS!!! I'll drink to that toast fer definate. :) I'll drink beer...ROOT BEER!!!! MWAHAHAHAHHA!!! sorry, I'm a little random today. :)
thank
i needed that
;)
I love the quote, its so true. Power to the Quotes! lol I needed that small inspiration, thanks :)
there's another one. i don't remember exactly what it is but it's something about a battle fought and won in the heart being worth ( a big number. A thousand?) triumphs on the battle field. something like that... it sounds better originally.
I love the statement. So many people can be twisted around someone elses fingers and never get off. I love your blog, it's a powerful thing.
I saw that you paid a visit too my blog... So... are you confused about my saying or...? My postings...
If you answer I will explain them a bit more clearly...

That's a great quote! I had to read it a second time to seriously understand. (Hey, I'm only 11! )
You have really good quotes.
=D
wow, that quote made my day
thanks!
almost everyone i showed the quote to had to read it a few times before they understood it, including myself.
so, how do you feel about peer pressure? i think it is the single most powerful force in my life, and the lives of all teens. it's really a scary thought. it's so easy to lose yourself.
Peer pressure has to do with many things, for instance, you can be pressured into being materialistic. or you can be pressured into like drugs or something way more serious. So far with me, at my school it is only materialism.
"WOAH! She's got designer shoes!! Let's be her friend!! Ew. You got that from gap. You disgust me!"
lol. no one has said that but you get my point.
We talked about that quote in English class. :) It's sooo true when you're in highschool.
I hesitant about the new Hitchhiker's book too. If Colfer screws it up, which I sincerly hoping he doesn't, then the series might become slight tainted to me.
yeah, c, but peer pressure isn't always bad, right? still, it's usually bad in our case. it's so scary how you can do something horrible that you would've never even thought of doing before, and you could even convine yourself that it's the right thing to do. all just because some other people are doing it. it's a very big problem.
thats a great quote and so true.
what the heck keeps happening to my posts? that's the second one to disappear in the last week! I don't even remember what i put and it was probably lame so... w/e
sorry, RM. it has nothing to do with me. i definitely didn't delete any of your posts! try to remember what you said, k?
That must have sucked, but I'm sure your cat was taken good care of and adopted. Kittens get adopted pretty quickly.
The same thing happened to one of my friends. Her mom found their kitten swimming in the toliet bowl, and she immediately got rid of it.
I'm just glad my mom thinks anything Gigi does is adorable.
hi there, an honour to meet u too. =)
First visit to your blog. I like it.
And the quote is so true and so relateable to so many people.
After I left ur blog yesterday, I was thinking of another quote by e.e.cummings it goes
" The most wasted of days is one without laughter"
So I was inspired to put some jokes and funny stuff on blog. Check it out.
thanks, cruz. do you mind if i call you cruz?
thanks for the blog comment.
btw i love this quote. it's a difficult thing to do when everyone is so comfortable with being just another carbon copy of everyone else. but it is worth fighting for =)
