Heyy there! My name's Emmanuel. I'm near Chicago, Illinois.
When I washed up on the island, my life as I knew it was over. But my life as you know it had just begun. Those who live here want to hurt me. Kill me. So I must fight. I must embrace what I am. I am fast. Bold. Brutal. I am agile. Tough. I am daring. Courageous. Dangerous. I am strong. I am Lara Croft.
"Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of."

“I’ll never forget the day Marilyn and I were walking around New York City, just having a stroll on a nice day. She loved New York because no one bothered her there like they did in Hollywood, she could put on her plain-jane clothes and no one would notice her. She loved that. So as we we’re walking down Broadway, she turns to me and says ‘Do you want to see me become her?’ I didn’t know what she meant but I just said ‘Yes’- and then I saw it. I don’t know how to explain what she did because it was so very subtle, but she turned something on within herself that was almost like magic. And suddenly cars were slowing and people were turning their heads and stopping to stare. They were recognizing that this was Marilyn Monroe as if she pulled off a mask or something, even though a second ago nobody noticed her. I had never seen anything like it before.” - Amy Greene, wife of Marilyn’s personal photographer Milton Greene
thinking about the future gives me anxiety. I don’t want to be 20 can’t I go back to being 11 again
Molly, the future is scary. But you can’t just run back to the past because it’s familiar. Yes, it’s tempting… But it’s a mistake. Also, this is a quote from How I Met Your Mother.

Your words don’t mean a thing
I’m not listening
Keep talking, all I know is
Mama told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don’t let what they say keep you up at night,
And they can’t detain you
‘Cause wings are made to fly
And we don’t let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say it won’t hurt me
Don’t matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly
