· Words of Wisdom:-                                  

As we grow up we learn that even the one person that isn't supposed to ever let you down probably will, you will have your heart broken probably more than once, and it gets harder every time, you will break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken, you will fight with your best friend, you will blame a new love for things an old love did, you will cry because time is passing too fast and you will eventually loose someone you love, so take way too many pictures, laugh way too hard, dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening, love like you have never been hurt, laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of what you cant change, love deeply and forgive quickly, take chances give everything and have no regrets, lifes too short to be unhappy, you have to take the good with the bad, smile when your sad, love what you got and always remember what you had, always forgive but never regret, people change and things go wrong, but always remember LIFE GOES ON!
