"Different is good.
Where I come from, the highest compliment they can offer a person is to say that they're down to earth, grounded.
I hate it.
It drives me nuts."
- Johnny Depp as Frank Tupelo in "The Tourist", Directed by: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck; Written by: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, Julian Fellowes, Jérôme Salle

Kind Words of Comfort from a Special Friend
“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”

'Cause You Think Being a Girl Is Degrading
Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
Cause it's okay to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
Cause you think being a girl is degrading
But secretly
You'd love to know what it's like
Wouldn't you?
What it feels like for a girl
-What It Feels Like for a Girl,
