by henry david thoreau it goes like " however mean your life is meet it and live it"
***
we were (my family) were really having a struggle. I was trying to keep my sanity and asking of who I am, and was it still jusfitible to live.
everyhting just went downhill.
my father leaving my mother for another woman
my mother being retrenched form work
trying to juggle studies and all work at home
my eldest sister ditching us all of a sudden not even mindong if we were eating or not
losing every ounce of 'confidence' not just within but getting
experiencing not having a meal for the day - losing electricity at home - its been cut by the company for two months! We lived at home with just reconnecting some line - extensions to our next door neighbor.
paranoid of those around you, that it reflects the state of our home
mother being confined for the hospital in and out
trying to hold on for sanity - but when my momma died out of all the anguish i just collapsed
my whole world stopped, my eagerness of life stopped as well
after more than two years ive recovered
that was when i restored my faith to God
clinged on to him - but am still an open minded person
and it made us somewhat firmer, and i aint regretful, as ive surpassed it and had a better perspective of life and myself.

There's this really great book called "The Outsiders". It has a movie , but its really old. I suggest you read the book first. It's mostly for tennagers but anyone can read. Critcts have given it an A.

"Ani sat apart, gazing at the night-day, wishing to lie down on the pavement and let the water soak her, then beat down on her, through her, work her away until all that was left was her core. She wondered what that would be."
Not sure what page this is on, but it is from Shannon Hale's "The Goose Girl."

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

"For you love all things that exist, and detest none of the things that you have made; for you would not have made anything if you had hated it. How would anything have endured, if you had not willed it? Or how would anything not called forth by you have been preserved? You spare all things, for they are yours, O Lord, you who love the living"

my most favorite quote is from the great Socrates when he said " The unexamined life is not worth living" which means know thy self
