Life

Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many friends you have or how accepted you are.
Not about if you have plans this weekend or if you're alone.
Life 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 isn't about sex.
Life 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 you are
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.
Life isn't about what clubs you're in,
or how good you are at sport.
Life isn't about what 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 purposely.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship, used as a sanctity or a weapon.
Life is about what you say and mean,
maybe hurtful,
maybe heartening.
About starting rumour contributing to petty gossip.
It's about what judgements you pass and why,
and why your judgements are spread to.
Life is 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 otherpeople'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 is all about.
