Entailing: Epiphany

When it comes down to it, all we can do is accept what is. All you can do is smile about what you have and cherish the live that's been given to us.

I've learned that just because one person doesn't want you, doesn't mean no body does. 
I've learned  that sometimes we end up caring for people who simply don't care back.
I've learned that sometimes it really isn't me, but you.

I've learned that even on the coldest mornings, there can be warmth.

I've learned that in the hardest moments, there are good friends to pick you up.
I've learned that even best friends get in fights, but only the real ones forgive each other.

I've learned that even among the most broken of things, there can be healing.

I've learned that drinking your problems away, just might help for a little while.

I've learned that living paycheck to paycheck is ok, sometimes.

I've learned that very few people put other people's happiness above their own.

I've learned that I can't control my feelings towards someone, and neither can anyone else.

I've learned that as long as you give your everything, you can at least say you tried.

I've learned that there is nothing better than surrounding yourself with good people.

I've learned that I'd rather get around now, than be the 40 year old woman who cheats on her husband.

I've learned that even when the clouds loom, the sun is still there, waiting with patience.

I've learned that if you don't have confidence in yourself, neither will other people.

I've learned that it does matter what people think about you, but it matters more about what you think about yourself.

I've learned that if you take things one day at a time, the hardships in life seems manageable.

I've learned that complimenting other people makes you a happier person.

I've learned that red bull contains bull testosterone, and that's gross.

I've learned that "cover songs" are just like our perspectives in life: you might not like something, til you hear/look at it in a different way.

I've learned that no matter how many cute outfits you buy, or how many new hair cuts you get, the pain doesn't stay away- but it helps.

I've learned that standing up for yourself might make you a bitch- Ok, then I'm a bitch.

I've learned that when someone says, "I just want to be friends", they actually don't.
I've learned that there are a thousand nice ways to say something mean, but I'm not dumb. I get it.

I've learned that no matter what, we have to deal with the things we are given. There is no getting around them, no avoiding them. Just dealing with them. Stop wasting your time complaining about them; take a deep breath, and figure out how to cope.

Open your eyes to the world, and cry for those who are truly suffering- not our own selfish issues.

Life is beautiful- don't drown it in ugly problems.

The sun doesn't stop shining and the world doesn't stop spinning, so we shouldn't stop living.

Cheers; to moving forward.

Entailing: Live Like We're Dying

I've had a lot of bad days, bad moments, and bad memories. But at the end of the day, I'm pretty sure I've had more great days, great moments, and great memories.

I feel like my life wouldn't be nearly as great if it weren't for the people in my life. Also, I feel like I don't tell them that enough either.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the amazing people I'm surrounded by every day.

When you think back on the best moments of your life, were they spent alone? Or with somebody else?

We all need time to ourselves, and time to recharge and regroup; but we are naturally drawn to other people; in friendship and in love.

Have you really thought about who you'd spend your last living day with? Or who you'd call with your last goodbyes?

Are you constantly making sure those people know you love them? And if not, how can you be so sure you'll get another chance?

We forget how fragile life really is, and that it literally could end at any moment, at any given time.

When we make decisions, we always assume we have more time; more time to apologize, make things right with someone, take back what we've done, or do what we didn't do.

But there's no way to be sure. The only thing we know we have for sure, is right now; and now; and now; etc.

If you love someone, tell them.

If you have dreams, chase them.

If you wrong someone, fix it.

If you want something, go get it.

If you aren't happy, get there.

If you have a good thing, don't throw it away.

If you have an opportunity, take it.

Don't let your life come to an end, and wish you would have lived it any other way.

With your last breath, be able to look back, smiling, and saying, "I wouldn't change a thing."

Entailing: Mean

To whom it may concern
Being rude isn't a trend; it makes you look inconsiderate, insensitive, and self absorbed. & eventually the joke will be on you, not the people you make fun of.
P.S. Good luck in life.
