We laugh and we joke, but it's a huge fear in our minds.

Some people make horrible human beings.

Coming down a mountain just to go up another... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

You can make new friends all day long but you can never make an old one.

If you choose to live by the "Die with my boots on" philosophy, then may I suggest it's best you get yourself a pair of nice-looking boots.

Some time ago, nature changed the world as I knew it. It left no apologies, no remorse... waves and winds leaving me with nothing to call my own. Or so I thought. Now five years later, I look back and see all what it has given me. Courage, resilience, empowerment... the list goes on and on. Things that no one can ever take away from me. And for that, I am eternally grateful.
