Favorite Quote:
I&#039;m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can&#039;t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don&#039;t deserve me at my best.&quot; <br /> &mdash; Marilyn Monroe

Speak up,
Talk now,
Tell me what I need to hear.
Be straight with your words,
Speak of how you feel
Hold back nothing,
I need to know,
Living a lie isn’t my way to go,
So speak up talk now,
I really need to know,
How you feel,
And where you want us to go.
