“I had some whiskey and some smokes and time to think it all out, It made sense this whole heading south; Sometimes its best to slow your pace when you can’t control it. And I sat, And I thought, All that ain’t right is over for at least tonight, And if I die trying now I wont die wondering How life could’ve turned out”

You know better, huh, Erin?
Huh, huh, huh?

“The trick with courage, Erin, is realizing that it isn’t so much about overcoming fear, as it is about not settling for less. And then, it comes as effortlessly as a midsummer’s night breeze.
Whhhhhhhhhhh-a-a-a-a-a-, whooo-o-o-oossh -
The Universe” Ah yes. Never settling. I gave my little brother an impassioned monologue - I mean motivational speech - about this on...
