I was watching Batman Begins last night.
Rachel tells Bruce as she sees him fo the first time coming out of the hotel that he "may be this great kid deep down inside, but it's our actions that define us."

HOLY SHIT, YES RACHEL, YES!
if you lie, you're a liar.
if you cheat, you're a cheater.
if you betray, you're a traitor.
and it's all well and good if you're really this beautiful person under all this, but if you're a monster to everyone you love, then you got some serious shit to dig out of. and I'm sorry, but I'm tired of being the only one shoveling while you sit back and watch.
Thank you Mandy, for talking with me about success. I may not be rolling in the dough, but I am successful at dealing with my emotions and I'm learning how to be successful in knowing myself and my goals...instead of waiting until I'm 30 or 40 or 50 to actually face myself and see just what kind of person I am.
Fuck that.
I am not going to waste one more minute of my life hiding behind my fears.
Fuck having a mid-life crisis at 32.
Fuck throwing my time and love at people who don't value me.
Yes to the people I love who love and respect me.
Yes to sewing 5 hours a day.
Yes to facing myself and dealing with my problems and issues at 24 instead of 42.
I still have the fist in my chest, but with time, it will unclench.
Thank you to my friends who love me and are helping me and come when I call.
You rigity rock and I'm so blessed to have you!
love,
Tea
