“People think I'm this really mean shy quiet guy, but truly I'm not. I bet people didn't even notice me in school. If you actually take the time to know or talk to me you'll realize I'm a very sweet caring person. I'll give anything to someone if they needed it.. Then again being nice only gets you so far. Some people take everything for granted. I am just sick an tired of always being there for people and in return they don't even care how I'm doing. One day you're going to need someone and I'm going to be there because I always was and will be.. So think, are you living the life you want to live being the person you want to be? Life will be over before you know it.”
