Live life to your heart's content. Everyone gets only one life, and not everyone lives. My grandmothers lived in the other side of the world and I never had the chance to meet one of the them face to face. She was my father's mother, and the last time I saw her, I was crying at her grave. My momma's mother suffered through arthritis since 1998, and she had to take eight pills a day everyday. I visited her in Bangladesh in my sixth grade year. She passed away this summer. Both of my grandmothers were such sweet women. I was never able to say goodbye to them, though I never would have wanted to anyways. It would just bring me to even more tears.
Love is like chicken noodle soup. If you love the right person, you feel as though your stomach, heart, and soul are warm and full. Same with if you eat the healthy and natural chicken soup. When you love the wrong people, you notice that they're the wrong people because you get a tingly feeling which ends up making you want to throw up. Same with if you eat the wrong kind of chicken. You have to find someone that you're comfortable around, someone you could reveal the real you to, someone who has the same feelings for you the way you have for them. If you love the right people, you don't regret it.
Friends bring more hope than you expect. Would you be able to imagine a world with no friends? Do you realize how much support they give? They support you 24/7 and understand you almost all the time. The times they don't understand you, you go to your other friends who actually do understand you. They give you hope. They love you in a sense that they will always be there for you.
