Everyone deserves a second chance.
It's only good luck that we had the first.
The quality of mercy is not strained but generous.
Substitution is realizing it could be you.
That we give of ourselves is our only saving grace.
Forgiveness is a responsibility.

It's not for your sake.
The world is what you make, but it's not for you.

The judgment we put on our friends stays with us, sticks to us, for all our days, it follows us through our lives, and it makes us who we are.

We make ourselves by who we love.

Forget and forgive and let all be done with.
It's a glorious thing to live and to let live.
Where there is anger, there's always a better way.
I'd rather be happy than right anyways.
This was the year to lose all of my friends.
Another person is not a means to my ends.
This isn't worth another moment of pain.
Maybe I like it. Maybe I'm wired that way.

*Once I've realized that fighting is never fair
I can't look away and pretend that I don't care
