~ A heart empty of dreams is just a bird without wings
~ A true Poet's reflections are waiting to be reborn, every time she writes
~ A warm heart will always glow like a lighthouse
~ Always remember every shade of blue can be brightened
~ And so, after finally realizing I was far too good for his bad love I said goodbye with dignity and then, I just got on with my life
~ Be kind, don't think about it Just do it
~ Choose your path wisely and then believe in it
~ Believe in yourself there is no greater power than that
~ Don't ever be fooled by a ladybird sometimes they are stronger than a rhinoceros
~ Grief will come in many forms but the form in which you choose to see it, will be the one that stays forever
~ I believe I could never convince a non-believer into believing
~ If you think it's bad when you're sitting in the gutter, always remember the drain is worse
~ I'm doing a job I'm far too over qualified to do, and I love it
~ In every heart, there is a fire waiting to burn bright
~ Inspired by inspiration, inspiring me always
~ It may feel sometimes as if the sky is falling on you but for some, it has already fallen
~ Keeping your dignity is ones first priority and a must, when it comes to matters of the heart
~ Light and dark are phases that are here to test us; what matters is, how we cope with the dark and how we hold onto the light
~ Love me as much as you want every single day so that when I'm gone, you know you always loved me enough
~ No matter how stubborn you may be, never refuse a hug
~ Only those who truly love you can see you cry behind your smile
~ Opening your imagination will lead you to possibility, possibility you have yet to imagine
~ Passing through the unknown will take you into infinity
~ Remember, everything that happens today, is just tomorrow's chip paper
~ Somewhere deep down in the bottom of my soul, there is a violin playing erratically
~ The day I decided it didn't matter what others thought about me, is the very same day I found myself
~ The measure of time doesn't exist when I am with you
~ Those who can see your soul, can see you
~ To be a person of strength is to know that the colours of life can't always be bright
~ Touching your most terrifying moments with a graceful nod, then leaving them in the past shows what a strong soul you truly are
~ Unlike death a good cup of coffee can bring you back to life
~ When I moved to a foreign country I just couldn't shake the Bridget Jones out of me so she stayed, and I'm so glad she did
~ When my enemies visit me in my dreams, I take it as a great compliment that they are missing me
~ With every pair of eyes that you look into, there comes a story
~ When someone tells me I’m crazy, I always take it as a great compliment and say thank you

There is a lot to think about in this but the underlying theme seems to be believe in yourself and be yourself ignoring what others say but sensitive to who they are. Lovely Teddy a lot of good lines and wisdom in this write
