Life Quote by Cody Edward Lee Miller
““We are not meant to survive our lives, we are meant to live them. We are not meant to die unscathed in pristine condition. We are meant to die with scars, emotional and physical, each one there to remind us of what we have overcome, each one there to chronicle our lives. Make your life a story worth reading. A tale worth telling. A lesson worth learning.””
