❝A society whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the facts, who refuse to believe that their government and their media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a reality contrary to verifiable facts, is a society that chooses and deserves the Police State Dictatorship it’s going to get.❞ -

I do believe that maturity and adulthood are sprung from being put through the gears of life and coming out the other side to put yourself back together. 

Adolescence is shed with every broken heart, crushed hope, and fall you take.. and more often than not you look back on those events with wisdom, understanding, and a scar to remind yourself what you did wrong.

I have personally witnessed this in my own life throughout the years.
