You matter.

If there is one thing I could plant in your heart, it’s that you matter, you’ll always matter.
~ T.B. LaBerge

It doesn't matter.

BAD NEWS is: You cannot make people like, love, understand, validate, accept or be nice to you.
GOOD NEWS is: It doesn't really matter.

Real friends.

Life is kind of like a party. You invite a lot of people, some leave early, some stay all night, some laugh with you, some laugh at you, and some show up late. But in the end, after the fun, there are a few who stay to help you clean up the mess. And most of the time they aren’t even the ones who made the mess. These people are your real friends. They are the ones who matter most. ~unknown
