it is okay to be single
to not depend on
anyone but
yourself--
if you love someone then
love them with your
heart
don't be a notch in someone's bed
post or for popularity
you won't be happy
until you true to your own heart--
you are the master of your
own destiny
you are the only one with the power
to make yourself happy
so choose the path
that fits you
don't make yourself fit a path
that is not yours.
