A good friend is one of the hardest things to keep in this life. Don't forget that sometimes you have to work at it.

A good friend is one of the hardest things to keep in this life. Don't forget that sometimes you have to work at it.

But in life people come and go. We don't always have control over it. But we can control how we respond. We can keep going, keep living the best we can. We can love the people we have instead of shutting them out. We can do our best to get to know them in the time we have.

But really, anybody could die any day, whether you were ready or not. It could be your pet fish or your sister or you. Nothing is the same forever. Maybe all the people on Earth are God's little pet fish. God lives such a long time that people's lives probably seem really short to him. He watches them swim for a little while, and then they stop swimming.

We have plenty of room for people...in our lives, I mean. Especially the ones who make us be the people we want to be.

Well, sometimes things don't change on their own. Sometimes we have to change them.

Sometimes I wonder if life is all about one moment. Everything before and everything after is about that one moment, and we are all stuck there.
