    “Choose your battles wisely. After all, life isn't measured by how many times you stood up to fight.

Fight only the most, most, most important ones, let the rest go.”

    Nessie Q.
    “Let’s take it slow because some of the good things in life are worthy of reverence and appreciation.

Let’s take it slow because some things are best done at a leisurely pace — the slow dance, the first kiss, making love.”
