this life is what you make it. no matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. but the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. but just remember, some come, some go. the ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. don't let go of them. also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. as for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. and baby, i hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. you'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? so keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.

things change. and friends leave. life doesn't stop for anybody.

may you live everyday of your life.

there will come a time when all of us are dead. all of us. there will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. there will be no one left to remember aristotle or cleopatra, let alone you. everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. there was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. and if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, i encourage you to ignore it. god knows that’s what everyone else does.

{john green, the fault in our stars.

a life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

{george bernard shaw.

the most important thing is to enjoy your life, to be happy, it's all that matters.
