some wise words:
Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

I've learned to pick my battles; I ask myself, Will this matter one year
from now? How about one month? One week? One day?

Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just proves that
the other person was right about you.

Be really nice to your friends because you never know when you are going
to need them to empty your bed pan and hold your hand.

You are the only person who can truly make you happy.

And finally...Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect, it just means
you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.
