Over the few years I’ve been alive, I’ve learned
a couple things. I just thought I’d share some:
Be your self, slowly let all the lies and fakeness go
let your truth show
Don’t expect anything to last right now, for now
is not the time. Enjoy yourself and let go
when it is time
shrinking the outside wont close the gap of emptiness
on the inside. But that gap isn’t always so big, and it always gets smaller
Nothing is forever, not the good and happily not the bad.
But have faith that things always come back around, what’s meant to be will find a way. When something ends, it has
an other chance to start, even better than before.
Everything happens for a reason and something good comes
out of everything
Things always change
People really do care about you. Sometimes its tempting
to do things to make them show concern. Don’t. It always makes things more
complicated.
Be as honest as possible, as much as possible
Don’t rely on anyone else, especially love interests,
to make you happy. Other people always fail at it anyway.
The only time you should try to have a relationship is
when you feel like you don’t need one. Or else you end up relying on them to hold you up and that’s not fair.
You have to make yourself happy before anyone else can.
Everyone hurts. There is always someone else out there
who has it worse.
People are searching for themselves. So your not alone.
People, like all other animals, snap when they’re
hurt. Don’t take things too personally, and try and have patience with everyone, even those who seem mean. They’re
probably just hurt too.
Understanding will come in time.
You can’t escape that empty nameless thing inside.
You wont find your salvation anywhere but in yourself. Not in drugs, eating disorders, obsessions, razors, no where but in
learning to cope with it will it lessen and heal.
With out all the pain you couldn’t be happy. Even
though the numbness seems nice, its not.
Life is worth living…though it usually takes its
time getting really good.
Experience the world. Find things, simple things, that
seem to make things happier for you.
Most the time, things feel a lot worse than they really
are.
Life has enough drama, so get involved with it so you
don’t need to create your own.
You can’t survive on water and noodles for very
long.
Everything seeks a balance.
Everyone needs other living things to survive. Whether
we like to admit it or not.
Things are beautiful in they’re natural state. Whether
your supposed to be big or small, don’t fight your nature. In that state everyone is beautiful.
Keep an open mind, even when it protests some times.
Try and learn about the things you “hate”
or fear. You’ll usually find that they’re not so bad.
When your thighs are a little closer and your pants a
little tighter, know it wont be that way forever and it doesn’t change who you are.
It is generally pointless to get embarrassed about things.
So don’t sweat it.
Strive for health and happiness…even when the gloom
and doom seem more appealing. You’ll be glad.
Laughter is good.
Its better to tell too many people that you love them,
than not enough.
When people make fun of you and try and change you, look
at them in the bigger picture. People are afraid of what they don’t understand…just keep being you and they’ll
get it in time
Emotions, pleasant and unpleasant, really are wonderful
things
Everything happens for a reason. There are no coincidences
or mistakes. And everything really will be ok. Though it doesn’t always seem like it.
