PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT: The key to happiness is to do everything you can, and then just be happy with it. Balance. Let go of the frustratingly unattainable comcept of perfection or nothing, and decide to launch yourself into the unknown of the grey area. Allow yourself to simply be the best you can be. Life it's self is undefinable as is the reason for it. Accept it, and enjoy the beauty of it. Enjoy the simple things.

Herein lies the key to happiness, what makes life worth it.

Never the same Person when I go to sleep As when I wake up As when I wake up  Hell or glory I don't want anything in-between

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us most. I am hiding from some beast But the beast was always here Watching without eyes Because the beast is just my fear That I am just nothing Now its just what I've become 

I felt weary, weary of this sadness  and i can't make it on my own  Its already done  And I had put away My labor, and my leisure too, for his civility. **
 * What am I waiting for
