My Philosophy On Life
...by. Some live wild and dangerously while others are reserved and quiet. I live my life on a day-to-day basis. I take things as they come and do what I feel is right. I like the way I live and I wouldn't change it for the world. My philosophy on life is simple-take things day by day, one step at a time, keep your friends close and your enemies closer, and never take things for granted.

I'm not talking about being sarcastically nice, I'm talking about genuinely nice. It's like it rubs them right in they're face and upsets them even more. I also take the motto another way. I see it like this-I'm going to keep my friends close just because they're my friends but I'm going to keep my enemies closer because they're the ones that might plot something or try to start trouble with me so I want to keep them real...
