What I've learned....

I used to think that life was about getting along with everyone
It didn't matter if I had to comprimize myself for others
Nor did it matter if I had to shut myself from the world
All that mattered, was to know that I was, who you wanted me to be

When I first ventured out on my own in the world
Everything seemed so different
People were different
I did not understand this drastic change in people
It happened so fast

Everyone seemed more open and willing to hear about new ideas
At this point, I started opening up to myself
The people I was surrounded by inspired me to change

It was hard, because by opening up to myself
I thought that I was going against my own morals and beleifs
It was like self torture really

At this point in my life, it felt like I understood nothing
because, I was felt that I was nothing
All i knew was lost

There was nothing to define my purpose in life
No one to tell me how to lead my life
Nothing waying me down for no reason
I had no idea what to do

Was my life really in my control?
It was hard for me to beleive

I always thought life was about living for someone else
Now what I've learned, is that life is actually about living for yourself
While at the same time, surrounding yourself with great people you want to enjoy your life with
During that time if I am lucky, I will find the one that i m suppose to share my life with

I spent so much time worrying about finding someone
That I forgot about how precious time can be when you are alone
It can be the best time of your life, as long as you are willing to beleive it can be

The biggest lessons i've learned in the past two years...
is that I do have control over my life
I don't have to be with someone in order to be 'complete'
but at the same time, it would be really nice to have someone there who you can trust
that way I will never feel like I am alone
and I can share my love for someone who is truly special
because, being able to share my love with someone, and receiving love back to me
will probably be the greatest thing to happen to me in my life
I beleive, that it can be the best thing to happen to anyones life.

If I could sum it up in a few sentences, this is how i beleive one should lead their lives

Live your life free from all the hate in the world. Try to make your world a better place, simply by being yourself. Do your best at everything you do, try your hardest and only settle for the best. Don't let others bring you down. Do not be afraid to love someone. Let them know you love them. Show that you care. Be there for all your friends and family. Learn from past mistakes and do not let your past hold you back. Do not comprimize yourself for others, for that is when you stop living your life and you start living other peoples lives instead. Never forget to have fun and go with your gut feeling. It will probably always be right. Love the world you live in. No matter how many flaws you may see in it, look for all the good things in your world. It will overcome any flaws you have found. Be yourself, and do not be afraid to live.
