Oh, my aching sushi!!!

All right, so summer's over and there are fewer pretty girls in tank tops. But still, if you think about it, we're still better. We are utterly beautiful, talented, intelligent, and amazing girls who don't need to show off skin to feel worthy. Too bad we're too good for you.

Thought this was interesting......

I found this in the deep, dark dungeon of my computer. Enjoy! I think that a lot of it is true. What does everyone else think? Opinions please!

I believe...

that we don't have to change friends

if we understand that friends change.

I believe...

that no matter how good a friend is,

they're going to hurt you every

once in a while and you must

forgive them for that.

I believe...

that true friendship continues to grow,

even over the longest distance.

Same goes for true love.

I believe...

that you can do something in an instant

that will give you heartache for life.

I believe...

that it's taking me a long time

to become the person I want to be.

I believe...

that you should always leave loved ones

with loving words. It may be the last

time you see them.

I believe...

that you can keep going

long after you think you can't.

I believe...

that we are responsible for what we do,

no matter how we feel.

I believe...

that regardless of how hot and

steamy a relationship is at first,

the passion fades and there had

better be something else to take its place.

I believe...

that heroes are the people

who do what has to be done

when it needs to be done,

regardless of the consequences.

I believe...

that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I believe...

that my best friend and I can do anything

or nothing and have the best time.

I believe...

that sometimes the people you expect

to kick you when you're down,

will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe...

that sometimes when I'm angry

I have the right to be angry,

but that doesn't give me

the right to be cruel.

I believe...

that just because someone doesn't love

you the way you want them to doesn't

mean they don't love you with all they have.

I believe...

that maturity has more to do with

what types of experiences you've had

and what you've learned from them

and less to do with how many

birthdays you've celebrated.

I believe...

that it isn't always enough to be

forgiven by others. Sometimes you

have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe..

that no matter how badly your

heart is broken the world doesn't stop for

your grief.

I believe...

that our background and circumstances

may have influenced who we are,

but we are responsible for who

we become.

I believe...

that just because two people argue,

it doesn't mean they don't love each other

And just because they don't argue,

it doesn't mean they do.

I believe...

that you shouldn't be so eager

to find out a secret.

It could change your life forever.

I believe...

that two people can look at exactly the

same thing and see something totally different.

I believe...

that your life can be changed

in a matter of hours

by people who don't even know you.

I believe...

that even when you think you

have no more to give,

when a friend cries out to you

you will find the strength to help.

I believe-

that credentials on the wall

do not make you a decent human being.

I believe-

that the people you care about most in life

are taken from you too soon.

They will make horrid cheerleaders. Though I'd like to see Evan in a little skirt. -Mandy

    aaw.. yea i've seen it too but i think it's very true... and so many of those things people forget at times...people have the strength in themselves to be who they want to be and go where they want to go.. but it's ur friends and family and those that care about u that help u up when u fall and help guide u along the way and walk with u simply becuz they want to be with u

    wow. I hadn't seen that poem, bit it is so true. The leaving loved ones with loving words is something I've practiced my entire life. It is true that you could never see them again and then feel terrible for the rest of your life.
    As for the rest of that poem, thank you. I really, really needed it.
