The Pieces of Life.: 11/28/10

“Happiness is not a matter of events, it depends upon the tides of the mind.”

"Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you."

"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us."

"If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes."

"The more difficulties one has to encounter, within and without, the more significant and the higher in inspiration his life will be."

"The power of imagination makes us infinite."

About me

My name is Corbin. And I wish we knew each other as well as we could. I'm just a normal seventeen year old who's far from being normal at all. If you let me, I will care about you more than I care about myself. I love to help people. I try to be a happy person and live with excitement. I try not to make judgments and accept people for who they are. Writing is my way out, and so is music. I've been through a lot, but I believe there is hope in it all. I love deep conversations, thunderstorms and rain, nighttime, travel, photography, random acts of kindness, lakes and oceans, music and lyrics, hoodies, bonfires, excitable people, advice, hardwood floors, being alone without feeling lonely, craziness, aimlessly driving, writing, and of course, God. I believe I love you in some way. -I plan on studying psychology, and working with many different types of people such as prison inmates, drug-addicted people, troubled teens, etc. From there, I plan to travel the world, build my dream house, and have a family. Then travel some more.
