no creas verdades a medias.
no sueñes sueños a medias.
existes para vivir una vida, no una vida a medias.

do not love half lovers.
do not entertain half friends.
do not indulge in works of the half talented.
do not live half a life.
do not accept half a solution.
do not believe half truths.
do not dream half a dream.
you are a whole
that exists to live a life, not half a life.
