My Favorite Quotes

Hey Everyone,

Today I was talking on the phone (still am :P) with my beautiful sister/bestie and I kept telling her random quotes that kept poping into my head. She told me that I should write about all my favorite quotes (I can't name all my faves, that would take up my whole blog page). I'm gonna share some that stand out to me and that I can think of off the top of my head. Here you go:

"Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends."

These are just some of my favorite quotes. I'm a quote fanatic! I could sit in my room an entire day just reading quotes. I can't believe I actually remember all these took me a extremely long time. I don't care because I wanted to share them with you all. I hope you enjoyed them as much as I do.
