Things I've Learned from My Mother

1. People are the product of their experiences.
2. Five years are going to go by, regardless of your actions, so you might as well do something useful with that five years.
3. True love is loving someone despite the fact that he or she imperfect, not because he or she is perfect. After all, if you only reserve your affection for people who are perfect, how can you possibly expect to love yourself when you discover yourself to be imperfect?
