Hi everybody, This was something I wrote maybe like a year ago? I just thought I'd share it!
Sometimes theirs things in your life that aren't meant to stay. Sometimes change may not be what we want. Sometimes change is what we need. And sometimes, saying good bye is the hardest thing you'll ever have to do.But sometimes saying hello again, breaks you down and makes you the most vulnerable person you'll ever know. Sometimes change is too hard to bear, but sometimes change is the only way of saving your life. Lets face it. We've changed. We've all changed. Somewhere between summer ending and school starting. We've gone into our own directions. Hearts were broken, friends were diminished. New love started and new people came into our lives. We no longer spend time in our little circle of friends, we no longer talk for hours about nothing at all. We've all changed. Some for the better, some for the worse. Some of us are finding love. And others are trying to let go. Even though we've all changed, we all know know that even though were all finding our own places in the world, that when we find out love, when we let go of love, when the tears fall, or the happy smile spreads across the face..We'll come to each other. Because no matter where this crazy world takes us and no matter what happens, lifes gonna come at you hard. And your gonna make mistakes. We all make mistakes. Do not regret, for we cannot change the past. Remember but never forget, for the past has made us who we have become. Do not dwell on the future, what is destined will be. In the end, none of this will matter. In the end, you too will see. People change, friendships end, dreams get crushed, but all in all, life goes on. This is what matters: family and true friends and being able to forgive everyone between. And guess what? You're not perfect. It's ridiculous to be perfect in anyway. But then, everybody is ridiculous at times, except perfect people. You know what perfect is? Perfect is not eating or drinking or talking or moving a muscle, or making the tinnest mistake. Perfect is never doing anything wrong. Which means, never doing anything at all. Perfect is boring. So your not perfect. Wonderful. Have fun. Let somebody laugh at you. Perfect people never do those things. All they do is sit around sipping tea, thinking about how perfect they are. You can drink pickle juice and dance like a gorilla and wear funny hats and be as imperfect as you want to be, and still be a good friend. Good friends are hard to find these days. And their a lot more fun than any perfect person any day of the week... Friends... Simple word, isn't it? Its uttered everyday to almost every person imaginable. Who are your friends? I used to think friends where the people you talk to, and laugh with. Now I know friends aren't like that, they're people who touch your hearts. You can spend hours with them doing nothing, and it be the best time of your life, just because its with them. Their people who you can share your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They don't judge you, or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are. They look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with. You share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs, and smiles. You are tied together by love for each other. Friendship is the strangest but greatest thing in the world. I find time with friends, best times of my life. My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, my laughter, my tears, my life. But why is it that we always fall for our bestfriends? Is it because we trust them, more than anybody else? Is it because we know them so well? Is it because they know exactly whats going on in our heads? Or is it because they are there anytime, any day, any where? Well. Nobody really knows why is it how it is. People are afriad of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People who talk about how great love is, but thats just a cloud of lies that keeps building up. Love can suck. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with their pain, if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something you carry, like a radio. You feel your strength with the expirence of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, your letting society destory reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain. If you let your society destroy your reality, you never know whats going to happen. Sooner or later you're gonna be dragging your feet on the ground, and stuffing your face with ice cream cause you let the pain get to you. Just lift up your head, look around and realize how lucky you are to have gotten where you are today. Put up the ice cream, put a smile on your face. And keep going. Take your past, and leave it there, because there's a reason it didn't make it to your future. Your past makes who you are. Be yourself and go out and have fun. Don't let anybody else tell you who to be.
You don't need permisson from anybody to be yourself. So go out, live your life. The power of individuality conquers all else...never forget to believe in yourself.
