“You have to realize there is nothing more you can do to convince someone you love to turn their life around. You simply have to say, "Look. I love you, but I cannot stand by and watch you kill yourself slowly. When you want help I'm here. Until then, goodbye." That may sound cruel, but self-preservation is paramount to helping someone else. If you're a wreck, you're useless to them, anyway. And if they refuse help, despite knowing the likely outcome, they will head down that path anyway.” IfsWantLooksMaySelfHelpingTurnsSoundCan DoRealizingWatchesKnowingPathLove YouRefuseDespiteUselessOutcomesGoodbyeConvincePreservationWrecksSelf PreservationParamountOne You LoveSomeone You LoveKilling YourselfHelping Someone Author:Ellen Hopkins

“Without the church it's like having a boat without the rudder.

You need a trainer. You need to go to a gym and you need to have the expertise and the guidance of someone else. You cannot train yourself.

“Do the stuff that only you can do. The urge, starting out, is to copy. And that's not a bad thing. Most of us only find our own voices after we've sounded like a lot of other people. But the one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.
