Life is too short. Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness, Laugh when you can, Apologize when you should, and let go of what you can't change. Love deeply and fogive quickly, take chances, give everything, and have no regrets. Life is too short to be unhappy, you have to take the good with the bad, smile when you are sad, love what you've got, and always remember what you had, always forgive but never forget. Learn from your mistakes but never regret, people change, and things go wrong, but always remember, life goes on.
