Family isn’t always blood,
it’s the people in your life
who want you in theirs:
the ones who accept you
for who you are,
the ones who would do
anything to see you smile
and who love you
no matter what...

I'm not interested in fighting,
hating, blaming, or being petty
with whatever time
I have left in my life.

I want to live.
I want to be happy. Love ,
I want to be loved,
and I want peace...

Sometimes
the nicest people you meet
are covered in tattoos
& sometimes
the most judgmental people
you meet go to church on Sundays...

Hard times
create strong men.
Strong men
create good times.
Good times
create weak men.
And, weak men
create hard times...

The problem with
closed minded people
is that their mouth
is always open...
