“There are homeless people everywhere you go — do you know how horrible of a life that is? There are homeless 8 year olds, Julia, that couldn’t even dare to imagine a life like yours and mine. Life sucks, and that’s a fact, nothing is fair and bad things still happen to good people. But the only thing that matters is the way you look at the world, and your life, because it was the hand you were dealt and you’re still in charge of it. You have to look at each day in the best light you can, because you deserve to. Like, right now, even though I’m sad, I can still see my own house around me, and the girl I want to be with forever standing right in front of me. And that, in this very moment, is the best thing in my life.”

Matt, I love you. You change me everyday.
