No, I have not been alive for too long. I can't say that I have ever really taken full responsibility for all aspects of my life. There are many experiences that I have yet to obtain. I hardly make any money. I am in debt, like everyone else alive. Although I've been working on it, I admit that I'm not pleased with my health. I'm not perfect in anyway. I guess that's what makes me human.
Throughout the twenty-two years that I have been alive, I have realized that an optimistic lifestyle cures every madness and struggle that one can have. Life can be all that much better if only we could all look on the bright side of things.
Bad days do happen. Lessons are sometimes learned in the most difficult ways possible. Sometimes, we get let down by people that we put our full trust in. We all make mistakes that hurt ourselves or others. Why dwell on what pains us? Why beat ourselves up and bring ourselves further down because of one little flawed option that life gave us? It simply does not make sense.
Play in the rain, even if your hair gets frizzy. Dance, even if there isn't music. Feel the music, even if it isn't your favorite genre. Sing, even if you can't. Smile, it makes you more approachable. Laugh, even if you feel like crying. Don't judge anyone, because ultimately, we all have similar problems. Open your mind and listen to others opinions and beliefs, even if you don't always agree. Try not to have such a shallow eye, there's too much beauty among everything to turn your back on it. Respect is a lovely thing to give and receive, worth more than money. Loyalty is one of the strongest characteristics a person can have. Don't lie, you would be surprised how many people understand and would rather here the truth. Love with all of your heart, even if it's been broken.
Life is too short.
