Well as i sit here listening to linkin park and sipping on a diet pepsi all of a sudden,my mind starts its usual train of thought. So what the heck why not put it down. I don't expect y'all to get what i'm saying when i start and those of you who do,you can be sure that you're gifted. So here i go.
What is life? Whats it all about? Is it about who you are? Is it about what you do? Heres what i've learnt along the way even though i'm quite young.
Life isn't about how you look. I don't think its about the things you do that earns you the ever coveted "cool" label. Its not about who you hang out with. Its not about how you look or what you're wearing. Its not about if you're job sucks or if you're grades never climb up and always slide down.
Its about what you make of it. It doesnt matter if you're rich or poor. You gotta fight for what you want. (Unless you're one of those rich brats who gets what they want without ever having to work for it >:( ).
Its about who cares for you and who you care for. Success is not a measure of good life to me and neither is money. To me,in life,success is to be loved and be loved. Success is not jumping up and saying "SHE DID IT!" but standing up and having the courage to say "Yes i did it". Its not about celebrating like a lunatic when you succeed,its about not losing enthusiasm even when you run with all effort and still fail miserably.
Its about having friends who care for you and who'll stand by you even if the whole world turns against you. Its about making a mark on the world and changing it for the better. Its about feeling good every time you look in the mirror and no people i aint talking about workouts or flab. I mean feeling proud that you're who you are and not wishing that you were born someone else.
Its about having that warm feeling in you're heart when you help someone or when you do something nice for the person who cares for you. Like you're mom.
C'mon y'all...when was the last time you did something nice for her?
Its about having people love you but also having people hate you because hey...Life ain't fun if its willy wonka's chocolate factory. Its about forgiving the people you hate and loving the people who love you. Its all about feeling good. AND NO GIRLS I DON'T MEAN A SHOPPING SPREE.
So go ahead. Be yourself. Friends who try to change you are never you're real friends cuz a real friend will love you flaws and all. Go ahead, listen to the music everyone hates but the type you think rocks. Stop caring what others think of the way you dress,Its not always dress to impress. Girls, would you really be happy if you're boyfriend told you to wear a corset and you actually did it? And guys if you're girlfriend asked you to wear tight pants?
Its not about the grades you get,its about the brains you have. Its not even about the academic successes,or the money or the stuff you own. Its not about the number of friends you have, its about if all of them really care for you or not. Its about standing up for your beliefs. Its about feeling the pain of separation. Its about knowing that even if you die anytime soon,you'll have no regrets. Its not about worrying if its gonna rain tomorrow,its about enjoying today's sunshine. Its about living each day as it would be you're last.
Like one of my close friends always says, Dance like nobody's watching, sing like nobody's listening, Love like a fat kid loves cake, Have fun as if theres no tomorrow, try everything once and if you like it,latch onto it.
Life isn't measured by how awesome you're grades are or how fabulous your job is. Its not measured by the people who talk to you(read as suck up to you),the clothes you wear,the brands you own,the gadgets you're hooked on to.
Its measured by each true smile you give the world. Its measured by the number of mornings you wake up looking forward to a new day rather than sinking back into bed wishing you were never born. Its measured by how many friends who claim to hate you but deep down inside,you know they love you. Its measured by the number of people who care for you and are willing to do you favours.
Its about living your life the way YOU want it and not caring about what the world thinks. Its about taking pain in a good way and its about forgiving the people you hate and the ones who earned your hate. So what if you hate them? So what if they hate you,forgive them and walk away. Its all these little things you do,that assure you that you've succeeded in life.
