On friends-
There are some people in life that make you laugh a little harder, smile a little bigger, and live just a little bit better. Friendship isn't about who you've known the longest, it's about who came and never left. Best friends are people you don't need to talk to every day. You don't need to talk to each other for weeks, but when you do, it's as if you never stopped talking. Best friends are people who make your problems their problems, just so you don't have to go through them alone... if you have good friends, you have everything. On sadness- Just because I smile, doesn't mean I am happy. Because one smile can hide a thousand tears... and behind every smile, there is sadness. Sadness touches everyone, even those who shouldn't be sad at all. But the word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if not balanced out by sadness. Be strong, because things will get better. It may be stormy now; but it never rains forever. Pain is temporary- It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year- but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. Don't let your struggle become your identity. On happiness- Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and celebrating it for what it is. Surround yourself with those who make you happy. Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy. Be happy... not because everything is good, but because you can see the good in everything. And whatever you decide to do, make sure that it makes you happy. Ah, I think I should mention now that all of the above paragraphs consist entirely of quotes. This was an exercise my dad gave me to see if I could make different paragraphs on different subjects using JUST quotes. I think I did pretty frickin' good =) ~Maddie
