These Things I Know To Be True

1. Life is going to hurt. 
2. Crying can make you either feel better or worse. You'll never be able to tell which it will be until you've already started.
3. Family is the most important thing you have in this world, don't let them forget you care.
4. A best friend will be what gets you through everything your family can't. Choose them wisely. 
5. Country music, ice cream, and Chinese food can fix almost everything.
6. Life isn't fair, but some days it will feel like you're always getting the worst of it.
7. When you don't know what to say, just stay quiet and hug. That can be more comforting than anything else. 
8. Have hope, even in the darkest of time. Because the sun has to come out eventually.
9. Being alone and lonely are completely different.
10. Take your time with love. Heartbreak can change you, and not always for the best.
11. Always treat people the way you want them to treat you. Even if they don't return the favor. 
12. Being brave isn't always noticeable. 
13. Get someone else's opinion, but make sure you know the consequences before making any decisions.
14. Take deep breathes. It helps.
15. Spend time with the people you love. You never know what the next day may bring.
