wHaT is LiFe?



Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many friends you have
Or how accepted you are.
It's not about if you have plans this weekend
or if you're spending it alone.
It isn't about who you're 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 what grades you get, how smart
you are, how smart
everybody
else thinks you are, or how smart
standardized tests say you are.
It's not about what clubs you're 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.
It's about starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip.
It's about what judgments you pass and why
And who your judgments 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 occurred
alone.
Only you choose the way those hearts are
affected, and those
choices are
what life's all about.
