KatatonickKat's blog: "Friendship"

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one's who don'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't get them back. So I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

Send this to the ones who have touched your life, in either a small way, or a HUGE one, and pass on the power of friendship, the joy of love, and the respect of one heart touching another.
