“Don’t turn your face away.
Once you’ve seen, you can no longer act like you don’t know.
Open your eyes to the truth. It’s all around you.
Don’t deny what the eyes to your soul have revealed to you.
Now that you know, you cannot feign ignorance.
Now that you’re aware of the problem, you cannot pretend you don’t care.
To be concerned is to be human.
To act is to care.”

“No, you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No, you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life”

“When someone would mistreat, misinform, misuse, misguide, mishandle, mislead… or any other "mis"… to others, they’re obviously missing something from their lives.”

“Will you live your very last day,
The same way as you lived
Your first?
Will you cry, smile, laugh, and play -
The same way as you did following
Birth?
Will you still look at the world
Full of wonder, love, curiosity, and excitement?
Or will you be dark, bitter and cold,
Without a single drop
Of enlightenment?
Do you live your current days -
Feeling confused,
Depressed,
And AFRAID?
Or do you share your light
In the company
And service of others,
To synergize
Like we were
Made?
Will you live TODAY
With an unquenchable thirst for
Life?
Or,
Will you wait until your very last day -
Wishing you had just
ONE MORE DAY,
To go out and spend
Your time
RIGHT?
