You who are young, make the most of your youth....
Professor: So, what are you interested in?
Me: I don’t want to say everything but…
Professor: [laughig] Come on, Haley… you can’t be interested in everything.

Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I’ll rise. Did you want...
internal dialogue
take a deep breath. you think other people are ignorant, but you are too. you don’t know everything… so just calm down. this isn’t the end for you. things will get better. there are people out there that understand you. you will find people who think like you do. don’t destroy yourself trying to find happiness in other people. find happiness from within instead....
