Facing a situation head on was the only way to deal with anything. I learned the lesson early. - Lauren Bacall

You can't start worrying about what's going to happen. You get spastic enough worrying about what's happening now.

I’m not ashamed of what I am - of how I pass through this life. What I am has given me the strength to do it. At my lowest ebb I have never contemplated suicide. I value what is here too much. I have a contribution to make. I am not just take up space in this life. I can add something to the lives I touch. I don’t like everything I know about myself, and I’ll never be satisfied, but nobody’s perfect. I’m not sure where the next years will take me - what they will hold - but I’m open to suggestions.

Let's face it: I want it all — just like you and everybody else. It may not be in the cards, but the prospect is so dazzling that I have to try.
