What makes us happy? All those days forever.

We did not ask for this room, or this music;
we were invited in. Therefore, because the dark surrounds us, let us turn our faces toward the light.

Let us endure hardship
to be grateful for plenty.
We have been given pain
to be astounded by joy.
We have been given life
to deny death.
We did not ask for this room,
or this music.
But because we are here,
let us dance.

— Stephen King, we did not ask for this room poem

Friends are the flowers in the garden of life.

No one will ever be as entertained by us as us.

A friend is someone you want to be around when you feel like being alone.

Because of you, I laugh, smile and I dare to dream again.
