Favorite Quote:
"Because you are women, people will force their thinking on you, their boundaries on you. They will tell you how to dress, how to behave, who you can meet and where you can go. Don't live in the shadows of people's judgment. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom."<br /> -Amitabh Bachchan


Lost at sea my plank that I hold onto so dearly is the remains of my happiness as I frantically try to piece it back together back to the wonderous, towering ship that it used to be so many years ago. I never realized how dangerous these seas could be and how badly it could hurt you. Somedays I wonder if I should just let go and stop fighting against the inevitable, others I look at the sky hoping to see a glimpse of the sun in hopes it will give me the strength to go on. But as the seas get ruffer and the sky gets darker I wonder if it's worth it? I wonder if anyone will miss me if anyone will remember the quiet girl that used to sit at the front of the class? I wonder if they would care that I left this world due to the pain? I wonder will they notice how I had changed over the years? Or will they forget me? Will I be part of the large group of people that society just cast aside? Sometimes I think whether I deserve to be missed or remembered, or if I should be forgotten? The internal conflict never ends like the waves never cease to exist.

This piece is for those who are trying to find the strength to go on and are finding it hard to at the moment. I hope you know that there are others who are feeling the same way even though the situations might be completely different.
