Embrace those who love you...they will be gone before you know it...

 No matter how unreasonable she sounds now, Mom is always right in the end.

 not every love story ends with happily ever after, some love stories are short stories that doesnt mean that they where any less powerfull.

 Don't skip school. Ever. Especially not on September 11th, 2001. New York may be fun, but you should have been in class.

 Love what you've got. It may be no more than a few Barbies and playmates during recess, but it's damn sure better than depression and drugs.

 He isn't worth it. Don't give it up. He will break your heart bad. He is a liar. So is she. So don't go back. Walk away. Just know that every day you look yourself in the mirror and said..I'm good enough and someone will see it..your right he does.

 Your going to meet a friend who is going to "change your life" she will for a while but in the end will hurt you more than you can imagine. Be careful, look for signs.. This happened once before.

 Enjoy the time you have with dad now, enjoy the conversations that never end even when you want to hang up the phone. Embrace moment with him. Go places and sing as loud as you can with him in the car, he's the best dad. Remember he loves you.
