the years will get harder, but they'll pass quicker.

hold on to your innocence just a little bit longer, because the second you let it go, you'll be playing at higher stakes.

time will teach you that not everyone who whispers nice things means well. and eventually, you will learn to filter through people's words, by listening more to their actions and less to their words.

time will also lead to you outgrowing human relationships, some for the good, others... well, you'll see. but there will always be more lost at war.

ignorance is not bliss, it never was, it never will be. curiosity will kill you, a couple thousand times over.... but each time you will be reborn, a stronger, much wiser you.

love, it's a double edged sword, it's a two player game. no love is lost..... no love is won.... and, perhaps it's best that way. it is better to have loved, than to not have loved at all. i know that now, and i wish i'd known that then.

remember that the best relationships are the ones in which you both benefit... don't let yourself be robbed of, don't rob others. try to think about it with sense, but not too much to rob it if off the fun, the challenge, the adventure that it will always be.

take it one day at a time, no matter how much you plan ahead, you will end up where ever you'll end up, and that's exactly where you'll have to be.

and, always remember that regardless of the times and the talks, you'll always know best.

you will always know what's best for you, because when the time comes- you'll be the one who will have to deal with the repercussions.
