Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.Â
Never tell yourself you missed your chance.Â
Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.Â
You can do it. Whatever it is.Â

Sirius: I'll get over it.
Sirius: I've just gotta be dramatic first.
Isn't it funny how the man the town called a satanist and a demon, made everyone who knew him smile.
His friends at school always had a place to sit and eat and laugh.
The kids had a place to feel protected and play.
Robin had someone who matched her on a level of weird the others couldn't understand.
Nancy had an equal in a planner and a helper.
Steve had someone who had his back, who would pass him a flashlight, a vest, a shield, who made him laugh when he was in such pain.
The town wanted dead a man who's only crime was trying to make a young girl's night not suck just once. Who was punished for being different, a person who would've thrived if he'd just been given a chance, or had been born in another place or another time.
Steve visited Eddie's grave only once.
"Sometimes I'm glad you're dead, Eds, this town didn't deserve you anyway."
