Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one&#039;s who don&#039;t. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. Friends are like balloons: once you let them go, you can&#039;t get them back. So I&#039;m gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you.
