There are two ways to look at life:

Life is about firsts---Your first breath, your first love, your first drink, your first kiss, your first job, and your first heartbreak.
Life is about the small moments--- a smile from a stranger, a hug from a loved one, the cold ocean breeze, and watching the sunset.
Life can be an adventure and it can be beautiful.
And it's only worth experiencing if you have someone to go through it with.

But life can also be ugly.
Life can be cruel.
It can tear you apart until there's nothing left.
It's unpredictable and sometimes unfair.
Life can be miserable and confusing.

You can't have one without the other. It's about what we focus on that will either bring joy or despair.
