I remember I had to be maybe 18 or so and my mother once told me in the sweetest of voices.............."the world doesn't owe you sh#t, so grow up."






It was and still is the best advice she could have ever given me. I live by it everyday, and it has gotten me very far.




laugh thanks momteddybear

One of my Guardians told me " You could make A pluses if you would just apply yourself."

I made all A's. Seems that I wasn't applying myself enough for her. I really thought I should be doing better. Today I just laugh about how sick she was.
