What life is all about…
Life is not about keeping score
It is not about how many friends you have
It is not about if you have plans this weekend or if you are 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’s not about who your family is, or how much money they have.
Or what kind of car you drive.
It is not about where you went to school. Or whether you rub shoulders with the rich and famous
It not about how beautiful or how ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on, or what kind of music you listen to..
It is not about if your hair is blonde, red, black or brown,
Or if your skin is too light or too dark..
It is not about what grades you get or how smart standardized tests say you are.
It’s not about what clubs you’re in, or smoking cigars and sipping cognac
It is not about how good you are at your sport.
LIFE JUST ISN’T.
But.. Life is about being real and not being fake
Life is about dignity and respect
It is about who you love and who you hurt.
It is about who you make happy or unhappy…intentionally.
It’s about keeping and betraying trust and fighting for justice
It is about courage to stand up against and not turn a blind eye to human evil
It’s about friendship, used as something holy or as a weapon.
It about what you say and mean may be hurtful, maybe heartening.
It’s about starting rumours 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 about cowardice, jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.
It’s about carrying inner hate or love.
It is about letting it grow or spreading it.
But, most of all, it is about using your life to touch or poison other people’s hearts in such a way that never
could have occurred alone.
Only YOU choose the way those hearts are affected…
And THOSE choices are… WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT!
