What is success?

To laught ofent and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critiscs
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better,
whether by a heathy child, a garden
patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier
because you lived;
This is to have succeeded.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON
- US poet, essayist and philosopher (1803 - 1882)

Friendship, brotherhood, best mates, family

It's always so hard to say goodbye. Who never passed through something that came to its end?

Every end is at the same time a new beginning. That's how we should thing, but it's not always that easy to see things like that... Usually people try to avoid it until the last moment, or just don't think about The End. It's easier, I know, but eventually we'll have to face it, being ready or not.

When we finally realize that things are not going to be the same, you soon imagine that your world will fall apart, and then you start looking to yourself and thinking if what you had done was enough, if you really made it worth.

Then you have to relax, take your time (LOL), because despite being hurtful, it is, in fact, really important to feel the loss you had. So you can pull yourself back together again and find hope again. Life is all about falling into darkness and people who give you wings for you to fly back into the sky. What we have to do is learn with those falls.

And these people who give you wings, who jump off a cliff to save you, these are your true friends. Because you'd do the same a thousand times for them as well.
But what if we haven't done enough for those guys? Actually, in the end, they doesn't need much. Just being there for them, hugging them it's well worth.

Finally, no matter where you go, I'll always be there, and I'll always take you with me. Because we are not just friends, we are FAMILY.

PS: I love you guys.
