Hil was born in Metro-Detroit on October 26, 1987. Hilary was a very intellectual young lady. She was very much so ahead of her time. She was opinionated. Yet stubborn at times. But thats why we loved her. Her eyes changed colors with her mood. Sometimes Aqua green with yellow arround her pupil and at other times blue as ocean water during a storm, once in awhile even gray. I knew a lot about her personal goals she never accomplished like how she wanted to be a psychologist to terminally ill children. Or that fall was her favorite season. Her favorite writer was Chuck Palahniuk. She often found herself lost in the world of reading for days. I myself have personally exchanged books with her and yet some sat on my night stand collecting dust, others intrigued me and made me understand her a little bit more. A little book called "Go ask Alice", she borrowed me when we went up north for some time. I couldn't put the book down. And in Hilary I found my new found love for reading. Hilary loved classic rock. Like I said she was before her time. Her and I specially shared a love for sublime and Jack Black. We both agreed he was so talented and not recognized as much as he should be. When Hilary asked me at different times, "do you remember such and such?". And I reply "no". But I find myself vividly remembering times that I didn't even know where trapped in the endless folders of my mind, and know I basically have a photographic memories of her. I truly believe in the quote. "You Don't know what you have untill its gone". Below are quotes By Chuck Palahniuk, which was Hilary Kruse Ross's Favorite all time writer Maybe we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves. Chuck Palahniuk Only through destroying myself can I discover the greater power of my spirit. Chuck Palahniuk People don't want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messed cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown. Chuck Palahniuk Since change is constant, you wonder if people crave death because it's the only way they can get anything really finished. Chuck Palahniuk We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will. Chuck Palahniuk We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. Chuck Palahniuk You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be. Chuck Palahniuk You must realize that one day you will die. Until then you are worthless. Chuck Palahniuk Your birth is a mistake you'll spend your whole life trying to correct. Chuck Palahniuk
