But if you can\&#039;t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don\&#039;t deserve me at my best.\&quot;<br /> &mdash; Marilyn Monroe<br /> <br /> Imagination is more important than knowledge...<br /> Albert Einstein

Tell me my words mean nothing to you, and one day they will become a poem, and that poem will be on the page of a book, which will one day sit on the bookshelf in your nursing home, and maybe you will smile. And just maybe that smile will be one of approval, or maybe realization, happy to know you were wrong. Happy that your criticism made me stronger, a better writer even. Maybe you will feel accomplished.
