When life gives you lemons, make grape juice, and sit back to watch while the world try to figure out how you did it.

I was once told
"Life is too short to mourn a man who broke your heart"
Now I know they were right
Life is too short to mourn over someone who doesn't care for you
If he would break your heart he is not worth your tears
Someone who is worth your tears would never try to make you cry

The author's comments:
I wrote this after a talk with my grandmother and now I understand why she told me that. I hope you understand in the future.
