That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

	That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

	That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

	That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

	That no matter how bad we think things are going in our life, we should reflect and be thankful for what we do have. ~ Marsbar
