The quicker we run to meet this kiss

The faster we don’t get to see what we will miss:

Children grow old; Animals live; The beauty of Earth;

Our lives get shorter as we rush, hurry and some even worry themselves to death

         Life is the ultimate test

It’s not pas or fail  it’s what you make it

Some people can’t take it…

But death is no gift; It leaves loss

own up to life be your boss

control your destiny

Be the best person you can be

          Naturally

Don’t change who you are or conform to the norms of reality

Because no death is more tragic than (that of) an awesome person

- Fly Writes

You are an awesome person, I wouldnt want to lose you for any reason. If you are feeling suicidal or wanting to die  reach out for help. Call the suicide hotline at 1-800-SUICIDE or call 911.  There is help out there.

If we lose it then there will be nothing to gain.

We owe it to ourselves to live life to the fullest

We can’t deprive ourselves of opportunities never experienced

Someone told me or I heard somewhere the best thing!

Don’t give up on yourself.

If you give up on yourself you lose confidence

You lose the things that make you the person you are.

Can you believe? I’m lost because of giving up but that doesn’t mean I have failed I can try to get my hopes up again.

IT’S NOT OVER till I decide not to continue

garrulous- talkative; chatty;

(possible scenario: she told us to write a letter to someone? i don’t really remember)

Dear Sierra,

I don’t like it when you talk to much. You need to calm down. Take a breathe and let someone else talk. I just wanted you to know to stop being garrulous. That’s it the end.

Your Friend,

If I had a friend like Rita I would ask her how would she know if my idea wont work. And everytime she gets an idea I would think of reasons why it won’t work too. Then I would tell her that my idea would work and that if my idea won’t work I would ask her what’s her idea.
