jealousy...

Invictus.
By William Ernest Henley.

This poem has so much power. so much strength.
"I thank whatever gids may be For my unconquerable soul."
It talks about the crazy misfortunes, but powerful and conquerable he still comes out on top.
Words of confidence.
I wish I had the strength to be this powerful.
This powerful over myself.
To keep pushing, keep fighting, come off unconquerable.

What is Love?

Love is...
.setting aside your fears to help someone conquer theirs.
.jumping into water to save a life when you can't swim.
.quitting your job to be with your family.
.taking the bullet.
.carrying your child across the finish line.
.cancelling your plans to do what someone else wants to do.
.forgetting your anger and emotions to make someone else happy.
.letting that disabled boy swing the last bat in a tie breaker game.
.finding yourself thinking about nothing but the less fortunate.
.locking down a hospital and holding guns to heads until your boy gets his heart.
