Bad friends could ruin your whole life. Be wise when it comes to choosing your friends. You set the standard. You be the one who stands strong. Don't be a follower.

Do you think it's possible to finally decide that you really, truly love someone but not end up marrying him?

You can't change anyone else but people do change in relationship to your change. All relationships are a system, and when any one part of a system changes, it affects the other part.

Lost my ideals in that tunnel of time.

Challenges will come to you, but as you trust in God, they will strengthen your faith.

Trust is the glue that holds relationships together.

We don't have a system that knocks on doors of every person in America.

A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.
