Heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. Money is a lousy way of keeping score. My best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time. Sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up. Sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
True friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated. Your family won't always be there for you. It may seem funny, but people you aren't related to can take care of you and love you and teach you to trust people again.
