there are twist and turns around every corner in life. once we realize that our life isnt going to be a straight shot to the finish line, but that there will be twist and turns along the way. thats when we learn how to live, we need to remember to love the ones who truly care for us. dont settle for people when you know you deserve better and they dont truly care about you. love our enemies. lifes too short to keep grudges or be mad at people...  face lifes challenges in the face and dont ask why me? some one once said. "We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, "Why did this happen to me?" unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way." lifes too short to live that way. and when people hurt you or do things that devastate you. dont seek revenge and eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. show them kindness be the bigger person. in the end its worth it and you feel so much better after. i mean lifes short. what good is it to count life by the years you live? you should count it by how good those years were.
