"It's just that...I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is."

&quot;I was taught that a successful life was a happy one. When my teacher asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I told her I wanted to be happy. She said I didn&#039;t understand the question. I said she didn&#039;t understand life.&quot;

What if the cure for cancer, is trapped inside the mind of someone who can&#039;t afford an education?<br /> <br /> &lrm;Don&#039;t be sad, every time God closes a door, He opens another one up. He also opens windows along the way. Enjoy them, and do you Chemistry homework.
