30 Things that Matter.

1. The life that we live, because it was all written for us already.
2. The songs that exist, for the "songwriters" did not really write the songs. The song wrote itself.
3. The smiles on each other's faces, because smiles are extremely contagious.
4. The silence, because we need time to think about what matters.
