“Emily,” she said. “Life is hard. You just have to decide which hard you’re willing to live with. It’s hard being over-weight and not being able to be active and do things you want to do. It’s hard to change and live a healthier lifestyle and give up some of the habits that brought you here. It’s hard to stay home in bed feeling anxious and depressed. It’s hard to make yourself get outside and walk and interact with the world. You just have to choose your hard.”
you understand the song that’s inside of me
And you sing in harmony a heartbeat away
And you are the friend that I’ve always wanted
I’m no longer haunted, with You I am safe

And I wait once more for the sun to rise.
To renew my soul and dry my eyes.
