"Forget everything else. Keep hold of this alone and remember it: Each of us lives only now, this brief instant. The rest has been lived already, or is impossible to see. The span we live is small - small as the corner of the earth in which we live it. Small as even the greatest renown, passed from mouth to mouth by short-lived stick figures, ignorant alike of themselves and those long dead." ~ Marcus Aurelius (Meditations).

Listen to the Mustn'ts, child,
Listen to the Don'ts.
Listen to the Shouldn'ts,
The Impossibles, the Won'ts.

Listen to the Never Haves,
Then listen close to me.
Anything can happen, child,
Anything can be.

--Shel Silverstein

[IF]

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

--Rudyard Kipling


If you're thinking of friending me or would just like to know anything and everything you can about me, please read THIS POST. If you're still wanting to friend me after you read it, please drop a comment off in THIS ENTRY with a little introduction. I really hate when people friend me out of the blue, and I don't friend back just anyone. I also dislike having the "Also Friends Of" list. I do friend back everyone with an introduction, unless it's a strictly fic or art or icon journal. Also, you should read the Intro Post simply because you should know what you're getting yourself into. ;) I friend you if I like your work, please. I don't like to have fic journals on my fiends list.

I don't prefer people friending me just to read my fic. Wanting to get to know the person behind the art is ok, but if you want to know when I post new fic and generally are just interested in that, please just visit my Fan Fic Journal, margots_fic. All my fic is archived there, and I also ACCEPT REQUESTS when they are open. Read the rules first.
