The reality is, we’re all similar. We are all just trying to find the lessons in the moments that we move through. The moments that change us. The moments that make us. The moments that we’d prefer to forget. Ultimately, the moments that make up to who we are.

This is what I know so far:

1. The people that truly love you unconditionally and hold you close are the ones that will shape and guide all the decisions of your life.

2. Be greedy with your time and affection.

3. Honesty is deserved.

4. The best friendships are equal. You get what you give in this life we all share.
