Smile as false as the life I pretend to lead, cracking and breaking like a desert with no rain. I can't let the tears show, I won't let crystal drops fall like music...

Favorite Quote:
"Yet ah! why should they know their fate? 
Since sorrow never comes too late, 
And happiness too swiftly flies. 
Thought would destroy their paradise. 
No more; where ignorance is bliss, 
'Tis folly to be wise." - Thomas Gray, exerpt from 'An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard'
