there have been lots of ups and downs, but ultimately, at the end of the day, that's what makes you who you are. we all know how to laugh, we all know how to cry, and we all know how to love back. we all know heartbreak, but the world keeps moving, and we keep moving along with it. and everything we experience helps us realize how beautiful life really is

My feeling is that labels are for canned soup … I am what I am, and I know what I am. ~ Michael Stipe

If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ." Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down. -ray bradbury

Don't waste your time worrying about boys-- boys will come and go. Don't waste your time caring about the people who don't like you-- chances are you don't like them either. Don't waste your time worrying if people are talking about you-- you affected their lives, they didnt affect yours. Waste your time with friends-- live for the moment, laugh often, be immature, do anything and everything. If it's something you'll regret in the morning, sleep late & when you wake up, laugh about it with your friends, cuz your friends are what matter most. When you have your friends...you have everything
