I've lived my life by some pretty basic principles.

-Care not for thyself, but for thy neighbor.
If someone needs help, drop what you are doing and help them. Put others before yourself.

-Fight for what you believe in.
Belief is progress, a person needs to believe to advance in life. Protecting your beliefs even if it kills you.

-Love is fickle.
I can't believe in love ever again. Love is an overused term. It's not what you can say that matters, It's how you feel, and how you express those feelings.

-Pain is weakness leaving the body.
An old Marine Corps saying, still used today. All pain, physical and mental, offers an experience to learn.

-Protect those you care for.
Sacrifice yourself for who you care about. Save another over yourself.

-Live life to the fullest.
Don't stop for anything. Experience everything life has to offer and never regret it.

-You're never as good as you want to be.
You can't live up to anyones expectations fully, not even your own. But try your damndest to prove this principle wrong anyway.

There are more but I think you get the idea...
My life sucks, I'm against noone yet everyone is against me. I recieve near daily death-threats and attempts on my life have been made. I have decided that the day I finish High School I will disappear. I won't tell anyone I'm leaving. I'll take all my money out of the bank and pack up my skateboard and guitar. I'll buy a laptop and leave a note to pack all my things up and store them. I plan on leaving the country soon after this. I don't know where I'll go, but I won't stay here. I'll leave my life behind.
I don't know... I just can't handle it. I've ******** up too much. I don't deserve a second chance, but I don't deserve this life either.
