"Life"

Life isn't about keeping score
It's not about how many friends you have
Or how accepted you are.
Not about if you have plans this weekend or if your alone.
It isn't about who you are dating, who you used to date, how many people you've dated, or if you haven't been with anyone at all.
It isn't about who you have kissed,
It's not about sex.
It isn't about who your family is or how much money they have
Or what kind of car you drive.
Or where you are sent to school.
It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on, or
what kind of music you listen to.
It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or brown
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.
It's Not about how smart you are, what grades you get,
how smart everybody else thinks you are, or how smart standarized tests say you are.
It's not about what clubs your in or how good you are at "your" sport.
It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper and seeing who will "accept the written you."
LIFE JUST ISN"T


But life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship, used as a sanctity or a weapon.
It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.
About starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip.
It's about what judgements you pass and why. And who your judgements are spread to.
It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention.
It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow, and spreading it.
But most of all, It's about using your life to touch or poison other people's hearts in such a way that could have never occured alone.
Only you choose the way those hearts are affected, and those choices are "yours"
Try and remember that everything you do can affect others in totally different ways.
That the consequences of your actions could be good, and or possibly bad.
Life isn't easy but I do know that I try not to play games with others, always be honest and upfront with others about your feelings.
Tell people how you really feel.
I know that sometimes that in itself isn't an easy task but live today as if it were your last because tomorrow may be too late.
