There are times when you'll want nothing more but to be left alone, Then when you are, You'll suddenly... feel lonely. Often you'll realize that real friends are few and far between. And no matter how far you go to find them, You'll still end up with very few. Life will teach you that everything in life doesn't always feel amazing. That with all the unbelievable feelings love can bring, It also can hurt like hell.There will be people you will run across in life that you'll look up to. They will be the "go to person" in your life when you need help. Until you realize that their life situations aren't that different from yours. And the advice they so freely give you. Usually differs from what they use themselves You'll realize that having an excellent vocabulary and a college degree doesn't make you smarter or better then those who dont.

LIFE QUOTES: Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you, but by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you, but by the way your mind looks at what happens. SO Learn to adjust yourself to the conditions you have to endure, but make a point of trying to alter or correct conditions so that they are most favorable to you.and REMEMBER The abundant life does not come to those who have had a lot of obstacles removed from their path by others. It develops from within and is rooted in strong mental and moral fiber.
