My advice? Find your own cause to represent, not one thrown out into society by a ton of environmentalist dopes. Find something new, something you think could be improved, and work from there.” Chrissy smiled with a look of total ecstasy as if the words of some nobody woman were important. Mandy momentarily noticed the groups of laughing, drunk, giggling people, all acting childish… and for a moment she wished she could be them.","author":"Rebecca McNutt","tags":["aspire","cape-breton","change","drea","drunk","environmntal","friend","gol","hippie","hope","ice-cube","improve","journalist","joy","nova-scotia","peace","pollution","sad","vancouver","world"],"id":204404,"author_id":"Rebecca+McNutt"},{"text":"Live your greatest dream.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["christian-life","desires","destiny","drea","faith","great","hope","inspirational","life","life-lessons","mission","purpose","wisdom-of-lailah-gifty-akita","wishes"],"id":326000,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"Why don’t you dare the impossible?","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["ambition","capable","dare","dont-give-up","drea","education","failure","impossible","inspirational","learning","lifelong","motivation","positive-thinking","possible","purpose","self-help","success"],"id":336813,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"You ought to dare great things.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["capable","daring","drea","educational-philosophy","great","great-work","inspiring","lailah-gifty-akita-affirmations","passion","self-motivation"],"id":475221,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":10,"pages":1}}
