If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart...I'll always be with you.Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would, I'd never leave.
[from pooh bear]
"Life is too short. Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can't change. Love deeply and forgive quickly. Take chances, give everything, and have no regrets. Life is too short to be unhappy. You have to take the good with the bad, smile when you're sad. Love what you got, and always remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget. Learn from your mistakes, but never regret. People change, and things go wrong, but always remember, life goes on." [from Shell]"As we grow up we learn that even the one person who wasn't suppose to let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break them too, so remember how it feels. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things and old love did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast and you might lose some people you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt. Because every sixty seconds you spend upset, is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."
"Wise men say, only fools rush in...."Are we too cautious, too afraid, too hesitant these days? Do we avoid things that can make us uncomfortable, that make us a bit tense, that have the ability to scare us? Are we missing out on life? Can you miss out on something lifechanging because you're afraid to rush in?
I may be irrational and completely wrong, but I feel as though you have to do things with conviction. You can't do something halfheartedly if you don't believe in it. To live you have to throw yourself into life, not stand on the sidelines waiting for it to hit you. I say don't be afraid to quit your job if you're unhappy, there will always be another job out there. Don't be afraid to move cross-country to start over, you can always move back. Don't be afraid to go sky-diving, bungee-jumping, etc because you're afraid you won't make it out alive, at least for those few minutes you'll truly have lived.
The only thing that you waste which actually matters is time, definitely not money, because one day you'll look back and realize, I'm 65 years old, and I can't think of one truly amazing, truly happy, truly living, moment in all those years, in which I couldn't thank god enough to be alive. And all the money in the world won't be able to buy you those memories. As someone extremely special to me said, "...the more I think about it I just want to be able to look back and say, "I loved and laughed."
