I think we miss a lot of what life has to give us. The people I truly admire for the way they live or for how they live are quiet people. They don't always have to talk or tell jokes or be the center of attention. It's like they know when to step back and let things happen; I've never known this. I've never been quiet when I needed to be or stepped back when it was time to. I don't know when to quit a lot of times and sometimes I think that I'm maybe missing some of life's whispers.
