I dare you to walk in my shoes
First step:
You'll falter
Second step:
You'll stumble
Third step:
You'll trip
Fourth step:
You'll fall
So until you take those four steps
I take every day
Don't judge
Keep your thoughts to yourself
Turn around
Walk away
And be grateful for the shoes you're in

Ça fait tellement du bien d’aimer les gens qu’on aime, que ça finit par faire mal. Je sais pas comment on survit a ça. Non franchement, je sais pas. LOL (laughing out loud) ®, Lola.

i know how you feel. people always assume that i am quiet because i  am stuck up or think i am better than them, but they don't know what really goes on in my life.
