About This Quote
Today I have control over my life. I have total control over myself and I am not about to let go of it any time soon. I know what I want to do and what will make me happy. It is not easy, but the fact that I am doing things differently than everyone else is what gives me strength. The fact that other people are useless to me is what makes me strong.
