&quot;Whatever you do in life will be insignificant. But it&#039;s very important that you do it.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Be yourself, don&#039;t take anyone&#039;s s***, and never let them take you alive.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The things we worry about are never the things that happen.&quot;

This was us
Before and after
Full of love
Full of laughter
As we ran through this haze
With our eyes aglaze
We feel nothing
When everything hurts us
We feel nothing
When everything comes between us
But then one day
Hate came to play
He brought his friends
Envy
Jealousy
We wondered at these awful things
Witnessed the torture they loved to bring
No matter if we ran our fastest
We had to stop
Let them past us
Because this was us
Before and after
Full of love
Full of laughter

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
