"Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many people call you and it's not
about who you've dated, are dating, or haven't dated at all.
It isn't about who you've kissed, what sport you play,
or which guy or girl likes you.
It's not about your shoes or your hair or the color of
your skin or where you live or go to school.
In fact, it's not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges
that accept you or not.
Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you
are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are.
Life just isn't about that.
But life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about how you feel about yourself.
It's about trust, happiness, and compassion.
It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing
inner hate with love.
Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance,
and building confidence.
It's about what you say and what you mean.
It's about seeing people for who they are and not what
they have.
Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to
touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise.
These choices are what life's about."
