live with no regrets, just lessons learned

About Me

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the one's who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
