I've been doing my research... and I've decide to compile the best "Love Life" quotes... and song lyrics, to get you thinking-- and so that I can look back on them whenever I need to remember just how lucky I am to be here.
Lately, I've been working way too many hours-- crappy ones, but I've been trying to make the most of it... and even when it seems like I might just die, something happens to make me remember just how great my life really is, and that my "problems" really aren't problems at all.
