Friday Frills

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to let ever us down, probably will. 

You will have your heart broken and you too may break a few hearts. You will learn that being your own best friend is far more rewarding than being your own worst enemy. You will realise that some things are worth fighting for and others are better left alone. You will say things you didn't mean, make mistakes and lament over how fast time is passing by. So take too many pictures, laugh a lot, apologize willingly, forgive freely, do what you love and love like you've never been hurt. Tell someone what they mean to you, dance in the pouring rain, speak your mind, comfort a friend, listen more, complain less, stay up late, fall asleep watching the sunrise, eat more ice cream, be fearless, worry less and smile more. You get what you give, so give the world the best you have to offer. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. Don't be afraid to take a leap of faith, learn to find the beauty in everything and let go of the things you cannot change. 

Appreciate the past, plan for the future and relish in the present, after all, it is a 'Gift'.
