This morning I woke up with different outlook on life, as I laid in bed with a million things on my mind, and what feels like the world on my shoulders. I realized that this life is what you make of it.
You are going to make many mistakes, it's inevitable. But the mistakes you choose to make are a direct result of your own actions. That you, and only you, have the choice to either repeat that mistake or learn from it, continue to grow and become a better person as a result of it.
I realized that people will be your friends, or at least pretend to be. Many will come, most will go, very few will stay. But the few that do stay and continue to stand by your side with you through it all, those are your TRUE friends, your 'best friends' and that sisters, they make the very best of friends. It's a bond that can never be broken.
As for guys, well... they too will come & go. And as much as I hate to say it, the majority of them will break your heart, and will eventually walk out of your life just as quickly as they walked in. But don't become angry & bitter, don't give up. Because if you choose to give up, you may never have the opportunity to experience true love, true happiness, or eternal friendship & companionship. And just because you may have failed once, or twice, hell... maybe even a dozen times. Doesn't mean you're going to continue to fail every time, or at everything. Unless you tell yourself you're going to fail, at that point you're only setting yourself up for failure, and it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
So continue to try, hold on, don't let go, and always believe in yourself, because if you don't believe in yourself, then who will? Always remember to hold your head high, to keep your chin up, and most importantly... continue to smile, because you never know who could be falling in love with your smile. Smiling is beautiful thing, especially when there are so many things in life to smile about.
