Life is precious and can be absolutely amazing, unfortunately it doesn't last forever which is why you have to get out there and experience it while there's still time. For me, I find great value in friends and family since they can be supportive during hard times and help get you on the right path. They can also influence you to set new goals and achieve greater things, which is why I avoid negative people who try to bring me down. But again, time moves forward and those same people may not be around anymore which is why it's important not to take them for granted. I have no idea where I would be right now if I hadn't met my best friend.
