Something inspirational:

“I've been walked on, used and forgotten and I don't regret one moment of it because in those moments, I've learned a lot. I've learned who I can trust and can't. I've learned the meaning of friendship. I've learned how to tell when people are lying and when they're sincere. I've learned how to be a teenager, and how to grow up when I need to. I've been to hell and back a few times, and I won't ever take what I have for granted. This is life, live it one day at a time. You never know how many days you've got let down.”

  1. This is so true.

    This day may be our last. This may be our last hour. We should appreciate all we have and love all our friends and family like we're never going to see them again.

    The people who hurt you are hurting themselves in some way and have to take it out on someone.

    I feel sorry for those people. They don't enjoy life. They don't appreciate what life has given them.

    1. I agree with you Lisa it is very true. I am sure there will be many of us out there with a tale to tell on this very subject!
