Singular Soul

1. "Everything is happening all the time, but if you don't put yourself in the path of it, you miss it." --Gayle Forman Just One Day

2. "You do have a story inside you; it lies articulate and waiting to be written--behind your silence and your suffering." --Anne Rice

3. "You've got to fight for what you believe in. If you don't try, you'll always wonder, and that's a horrible way to live." --Joan Jett

4. "Everybody feels these moments of sadness and moments of loss, and sometimes I think everybody can relate to sitting alone and feeling like crap and a friend of yours comes up and starts like, 'Come on, feel happy,' and you don't want that. Sometimes it's alright to let yourself live in a moment and let yourself be upset about something and so that you can show yourself that regardless of how low you feel, you can always rise out of it, but not in that moment. And so the song just ends with the lyric, 'I believe we all fall down,' but I don't say 'but we get back up'. It's just, sometimes you fall down and sometimes you feel low, and that's okay." --Andy Biersack about "Lost It All"

13. "As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken, probably more than once, and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts, too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt, because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back." --Andy Biersack

14. "The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much and forgetting that you are special, too." --Ernest Hemingway

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children.

These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
