Along for the ride Quote by Shyanne Drewery
“Some how along the line, a lot of us lose our individuality. We lose our selves while we go along for the ride that we call life...What happened to the right to feel safe? Apparently that just faded out, along with the lives of 2000 other people who can't handle what society has done to us. Every day on average 2000 people end there lives. How does that make you feel? does that push you to make a difference?”
