Dare to be Different

"Dare to be different; life is so full
Of people who follow the same push-and-pull,
Poor, plodding people who, other than name,
Try to pretend they’re exactly the same.

God made us different; there never will be
A replica soul made of you or me.
The charm—the glory of all creation
rests on this very deviation.

Your charm—your own glory, too,
Lies in being uniquely you—
Lies in being true to your best,
That part of you different from all the rest."

Friendship vs. Love

Friendship is a quiet walk in the park with the one you trust.
Love is when you feel like you are the only two around.

Friendship is when they gaze into your eyes and you know they care.
Love
is when they gaze into your eyes and it warms your heart.

Friendship is being close even when you are far apart.
Love
is when you can still feel their hand on your heart
when they are not near.

Friendship is hoping that they experience the very best.
Love
is when you bring them the very best.

Friendship occupies your mind.
Love
occupies your soul.

Friendship is knowing that you will always try to be there
when in need.
Love
is when you will give up everything to be at their side.

Friendship is a warm smile in the winter.
Love
is a warming touch that sends a pulse through your heart.

Love is a beautiful smile to which nothing compares:
A tender laugh, which opens your heart,
A single touch that melts away your fears,
A smell that reminds you of the tenderness of heaven,
A voice that reminds you of the innocence of youth.

Friendship can survive without love.
Love
cannot live without friendship.
