"To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To hope is to risk pain.
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing."

"I believe in true love. I believe in love at first sight. I believe love conquers all and that doesn’t mean there’s not gonna be hard days or difficult things to deal with, because there will be. But finding that person who does it for you & knowing that person loves you back, it just makes everything so much easier."

hrtmnseverythng-deactivated2011 asked: I see so many of my photos on here and I just wanted to thank you for crediting them and linking them to my Flickr. It's rare that people do that, so I really appreciate it, and I'm happy that they get posted all over tumblr :) <33

Hey Shanon,

Thank you for your message. 

I think you are very talented and since you have been kind enough to share your images on Flickr and allow them to be tumbled the least I can do is credit you for your vision.  

Looking forward to posting more of you on my Tumblr.

You give me your finger but I want your hand.
