i think i am beginning to understand what life is really about. its not only about high school and the people you meet in high school or the things you do now. its about love and respect and loyalty and hope and understanding different types of people.
there is so many things worth looking for, worth loving for, worth lying for, worth waiting for, worth living for, worth dying for. [dashboard]. i am beginning to understand people. take Megan Currie for one. she is a beautiful human being. you just have to understand her, try to see things from her point of view. she knows a lot and experiences a lot. i have been keeping up with her journal, and i've seemed to grow along with her by reading it. she has started to realize what life is about. and i think i have too. and that makes us a lot more alike than i thought we ever were.
there is so much worth living for, and in the end, worth dying for.
people you've met in high school may or may not stick with you, but its worth it to stick by them when you can because you can learn a lot from them and eventually, the people you have grown up with will shape who you'll be. the things you are interested in now may not be exciting to you twenty years down the road, but its worth it to try new and exciting things because it gives you a bigger sense of accomplishment. you will fall in love, and somewhere down the road you will meet the one person you were meant to spend your life with. whether it is a spouse, a relative, or just a best friend. you will have someone that cares about you. and when you find them, dont let them go, because it takes a huge war and a struggle to get them back. everything is worth it, but dont make too much of it, otherwise you lose it. you must try to understand everyone, even if you dont like them or agree with them. because when you can understand, you become wise, and a broader view of the world gives you more opportunities. trust me.
the world is so big. try not to limit yourself to the people you claim to be your best friends, because you will never experience life through someone you've always understood. try to live through someone that makes no sense to you. go out of your way to get to know someone. do whatever you can to meet new people. they all have something to teach you.
and then, once you've broadened your horizons, find something you can die for, and then people will say you've fully lived... and then you died for something great.
life is a stage. you are the actor. break a leg. |
