&lt;p&gt;I stumble or crumble and lose my soul&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those that knew me would easily co-sign,&lt;/p&gt;

I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Bruce Lee (via &lt;a href="http://itswhatlolawants.com/"&gt;elwhit&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://independent-queen.tumblr.com/post/1716936177</link><guid>http://independent-queen.tumblr.com/post/1716936177</guid><pubDate>Sun, 28 Nov 2010 14:11:35 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Staring out the window of this plane, thinking if it crash,...</title><description>&lt;iframe class="tumblr_audio_player tumblr_audio_player_1663884615" src="http://independent-queen.tumblr.com/post/1663884615/audio_player_iframe/independent-queen/tumblr_lcd6849AQD1qd85y0?audio_file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tumblr.com%2Faudio_file%2Findependent-queen%2F1663884615%2Ftumblr_lcd6849AQD1qd85y0" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" width="500" height="169"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Staring out the window of this plane, thinking if it crash, I’ll never see your ass again.

I was up to my neck in debt, so I stayed out in the hot oil fields all day, working hard to find oil.  I knew that some of my friends had gone bankrupt, but I was always taught that “cowboys don’t quit!”  But one day I was ready to call it quits for good, but I forced myself to drill down just a little bit deeper.  And that’s when I struck it rich.  The crazy thing was that the distance between where I wanted to quit and where I actually struck oil was only about 5 feet.  Can you imagine that?  It was only 5 feet between success and failure.  I struck oil because I refused to give up.””&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;From Open the Floodgates by Morgan Hill&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://independent-queen.tumblr.com/post/1323615189</link><guid>http://independent-queen.tumblr.com/post/1323615189</guid><pubDate>Fri, 15 Oct 2010 20:18:01 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"My dearest friend, if you don’t mind, I’d like to join you by your side.

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m sitting in the same place where we once shared our most deepest thoughts&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I reminisce about the past, I think of the love battle that we never fought&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think of our laughs and all the mutually shared memories&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think about the time when it was just you and me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought I was in love,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But reality proved how wrong I really was.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A great friend, &lt;em&gt;yes you were&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But now we act like strangers, I don&amp;#8217;t know which hurts more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As time goes by, our memories will become a thing of the past&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope you know I tried my best to make it last.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nowadays it gets a little easier to let go,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, there&amp;#8217;s one thing I want you to know.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I cared, I still do&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every night I ask the Lord to protect you&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp; I understand that time always brings a sudden change&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But promise me one thing:  You&amp;#8217;ll always remain the same..&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It was my 6th birthday; I closed my eyes and made a wish.  I blew my candles and imagined a perfect life.  I didn&amp;#8217;t know any better &amp;amp; I thought this time it would really come true.  I didn&amp;#8217;t go to school the next day, I just sat in front of my house and waited.  Sitting there, I longed for the moment that my parents would arrive and give me a hug.  I envisioned a normal life, but little did I know that such life was far from real.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My wish didn&amp;#8217;t come true that year nor the year after.  I met my parents for the very first time at the age of nine.  It was an awkward encounter, an encounter I remember well.  I didn&amp;#8217;t know how to greet them or what to call them. It never crossed my mind that such encounter would mark the beginning of a nine year trial in my life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sadly, my life didn&amp;#8217;t go according to the plan I had in my mind.  &lt;em&gt;I had made the mistake of falling in love with the idea of having a family.&lt;/em&gt;  A mistake I still regret from time to time. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s been four years since I last saw them.  It&amp;#8217;s been four years since I&amp;#8217;ve been free.  It took a lot of maturity and heart to forgive them, but I have.  They don&amp;#8217;t know that though, because &lt;em&gt;to them,&lt;/em&gt; I simply don&amp;#8217;t exist.  &amp;amp; it doesn&amp;#8217;t hurt as much anymore because I can proudly say that I&amp;#8217;ve achieved a lot on my own.  I&amp;#8217;m a good woman and to me, that&amp;#8217;s all that matters&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://independent-queen.tumblr.com/post/1079740791</link><guid>http://independent-queen.tumblr.com/post/1079740791</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:10:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Day 2- Your First Love.</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Best Friend, oh Best Friend of mine. Lately I&amp;#8217;ve been thinking of telling you something that crosses my mind. I have a secret that I must confess, but it&amp;#8217;s not something I could easily express. I&amp;#8217;ve kept this quiet for much too long. After I tell you, I don&amp;#8217;t want you to think anything wrong. Best Friend, oh Best Friend of mine, I&amp;#8217;ve planned this out ahead of time. I like you, I really do, I just wish you felt the same way too..&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8212; &lt;em&gt;Written when I was in 8th grade.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Love is a beautiful mystery, yet such a distant feeling. I was young and He was my best friend. &lt;em&gt;Our friendship provided an illusion of security, a false impression of Love. &lt;/em&gt; Not many know that at the time, He did mean a lot to me. I thought we&amp;#8217;d be in love forever, but it didn&amp;#8217;t last long. It ended right after it began.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was only fourteen and he was my Best Friend..&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://independent-queen.tumblr.com/post/999667517</link><guid>http://independent-queen.tumblr.com/post/999667517</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:49:00 -0400</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
