Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they

You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate,
neighbor, worker, long-lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger), but
when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will

and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without
these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly

you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. Even the
bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the

cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back
