Forgive quickly, kiss slowly,
Love truly, laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that makes you smile,
The clouds are lined with silver,
and the glass is half full (though the answers won’t be found at the bottom),
Don’t sweat the small stuff,
You are who you are meant to be,
Dance as if no one’s watching,
Love as if it’s all you know,
Dream as if you’ll live forever,
Live as if you’ll die today."

~James Dean
