she isn't thin,

so she's obese.

she isn't heavy,

so she never eats.

she has blond hair,

so she's dumb.

she has dark hair,

so she's no fun.

She dates a lot,

so she's a slut.

she doesn't date,

so she has no guts.

she likes books,

so she's a bore.

she likes a lot of guys,

so she's a whore.

she has many scars,

so she must use a knife.

she isn't perfect,

so she is a waste of life.

-yours truly,

society

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
