Your body is a temple, sacred and wonderous. I do not deny this but yet... what of my mind? Is my mind not sacred and extraordinary? Full of life and ambition? Guiding a pat...

&quot;This is how we&#039;ll dance when,<br /> When they try to take us down<br /> This is how we&#039;ll sing it.<br /> This is how we&#039;ll stand when,<br /> When they burn our houses down.<br /> This is what will be.<br /> Oh, glory.&quot;<br /> - Let the Flames Begin by Paramore

&ldquo;When adults say, &ldquo;Teenagers think they are invincible&rdquo; with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don&rsquo;t know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.&rdquo;
