I have spent my entire life Like it was my rear view…

“I have spent my entire life Like it was my rear view mirror my car. And every once in awhile, I always thought it would be good to glance back and see how far I've came but 1 day I stared too long.. and I plowed straight into what was in front of me.. and thank god it was you:)” quote by Carlin Whisler
