"You know that I was hoping
To leave this star-crossed world behind,
But when they cut me open...
I guess that changed my mind."

- The Killers, "Spaceman"

I'm not immune to mood swings. I'm human, and flawed accordingly (perhaps moreso than others, and less-so than other others). I've been known to act rashly, overreact and make stupid decisions, make poor choices, and do things I regret. I've thought of quitting. I've thought of leaving with a bang and on a high note (or arguably a low note depending who you talk to). When it comes down to it, getting cut down and discouraged is a big part of life, a big part of discovering who you are and where you stand. If I leave because I'm getting shot down, that makes me weaker, not stronger. Running from your battles only makes you the loser by default. I strongly believe the first to walk away from a gunfight gets shot in the back, and rightfully so. If you're up to the challenge, don't back down from it. Personally, I'm up to the challenges that lay ahead of me, and I'm gonna face them head on. The biggest challenge of all is discovering who you are, and so that's exactly what I intend to do. Keep an eye out, you haven't seen the best of me yet.

"The song maker says 'It ain't so bad'
The dream maker's gonna make you mad.
The Spaceman says 'Everybody look down,
It's all in your mind'"
