&ldquo;This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you&#039;re going to mess up sometimes, it&#039;s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you&#039;re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they&#039;ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they&#039;re your true best friends. Don&#039;t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they&#039;ll come and go too. And babve, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can&#039;t give up becuase if you give up, you&#039;ll never find your soul mate. You&#039;ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn&#039;t mean you&#039;re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don&#039;t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life&#039;s a beautiful thing and there&#039;s so much to smile about.&rdquo; <br /> ― Marilyn Monroe
