Favorite Quote:
Life is sometimes a struggle, and sometimes not. You learn to endure the hardships and be happy anyways. Take every ounce of joy as gold, for it only lasts a moment. Focus on the positive. And most importantly, SMILE. <br /> -Heather Frazier (me)

The author's comments:

The sarcasm at the end was to indicate that all of these things can, in fact, be changed. They aren't just to be blamed on "human nature". That we as people let ourselves get away with being the way we are because we use that excuse.
