i was going through the web looking for a really good life quote for a friend and i found this one that really stood out.you may or may not agree but it's worth reading =p

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back."

the 1st time i read this, it brought back a lot of memories...very painful ones. as some of you may know, i wasn't the strongest kid when i was younger. all those times that i've spend upset at myself and/or other people...i would of used those hours, those minutes, those seconds on getting myself stronger...but didn't...i basically wasted away my childhood from being scared. if you guys are going through a lot of s**t in your life and don't know what to do, you have to do whatever you can to make things better for you and maybe the people around you (depending who they are). make the best of life since you only live once. i hope for you and everyone the best in life, whoever you are. whether you had or are still living a terrible life, you can still make it better. it's all about what works and to see if you really do need help. if i would of gotten help for myself sooner, maybe my childhood and my life in general would of been so much better...but my fear hold me back for way too long. now my only memories from pre-school to 7th grade are hurtful, painful memories. life can suck a** but...you just have to get over that obstacle somehow, learn from it, and move on.
