The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do…”

Where the things you don’t allow yourself to feel go? We would like for the things we don’t say to be the forgotten, but the things we don’t say accumulate in our bodies, it fills our souls with silent screams. The things we don’t say turns into insomnia, into throat pain. The things we don’t say turn into nostalgia. The things we don’t say turn into ‘I Owe You’s’, into debt, into unfinished business. The words we don’t speak turn into dissatisfaction, into sadness, into frustration. The things we don’t say don’t die, they kill us.”
