How beautiful are these words?!
There comes a point in your life when you realize
who matters,
who never did,
who won't anymore...
and who always will.

there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
Give this heart to everyone you don't want to lose in 2008,
including me, if you care.
Try to collect 12; it's not easy!
'Be kinder than necessary
because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'
