funny how things seemed different when you were a kid. summers were long and full of wonder. daydreaming about wanting to be a teenager was so cruel because it was still years away and there wasnt a damn thing you could do. you grow up and all you can do is think about how great it was waking up on saturdays just to watch xmen while eating a bowl of apple jacks. life is wanting and desiring what has come or what is to come. life is truly ironic. ~andrewMANLEY
you should create big goals. goals so big that motherfuckers will laugh at them. goals that will take you 10 years or longer to achieve. build it step by step and keep up with it like its your religion. once you get to where you need to be, dont look back and tell people that you did it. get to the next level and build another ridiculous ass dream. keep building dreams until you die. that is the only way to live. ~andrewMANLEY
im on a boat. i stare at you as i float away. you stand there wondering where i am going wishing that maybe there was room for you too. as i disappear far into the horizon, you wonder if you should have taken the leap with me but now its too late. i am out making moves. whether i come up or break down, i know that i took a chance to see what was out there and that is more rewarding than just sitting there with regret. ~andrewMANLEY
i believe the richest people in the world are the ones that are surrounded by amazing family and great friends. a man is truly as rich as the people he keeps. if you have no friends and family, you arent alone. the greatest gift is that we have the power to create new friends and family from scratch. a little bit of love, care and commitment, you can build your wealth of richness. its not easy, for if it was, everyone would be rich. you have to work for it everyday. never take it for granted and always be true to yourself. ~andrewMANLEY
been humbled a few times tonight. it is honor and a privilege to be able to help those in need but even more so when it is someone very close to you. i am glad that i have the ability to do so. today i can say that i am proud of what i have made for myself. when dreams and reality combine into a single entity, you know you’ve made it. ~andrewmanley
People tend to want things they cant have and have things they dont want. Stop settling. You can reach your dreams faster that way. ~AM
this world is made up of a lot of things that deter us from the true happiness that exists. its different for everybody at different times but the joy that i had when calvin was born, well it made me…. a father. speechless and in complete love over this baby that i barely knew, we were connected in that nanosecond for all of eternity. he is my son and i love you to no end. there is no greater joy than becoming a parent. never take it for granted. it goes by in the blink of an eye. ~andrewMANLEY
i fucking hate stupid ass people. fuck you. ~andrewMANLEY
If your life is full of regrets, its cause you made it that way. The only person that feels sorry for you is you. Stand up and take control on your destiny. Only you drive the “you bus”. andrewMANLEY
“you want to be free yet you dont want to see. you breathe carefully only to realize that the moment of truth is upon you. you are frantic and your heart pulses endlessly as you realize that the chains that lock you down become apart of who you are. you flap your wings and the harder you try to break free, the more the pain indulges your body. you feed off the misery and sorrow, this is your life once more. when will i ever be free of me?” ~Andrew Manley
