There are thoughts which improve our daily grind, and there are thoughts that depress u...

- You cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.No matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.It takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.It's not what you have - it's who you have in your life that counts.You can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life....
