People and Things: Everything is Temporary
Way back, like 2005, my mom and I were having a discussion. I'm not even sure what we were talking about, but I cared enough to write some of these things down in my journal. I believe all of these things whole-heartedly.
People come in and out of your life. Enjoy them while they are there.
As long as you are happy with the way you live your life, that's all that really counts. You are stuck with yourself forever.
You came into this life alone, and you go out alone, and all the stuff and people that pass in between are only temporary.
Try to put the bad behind you. Keep the good alive with fond memories.
