Like I said earlier, it may sound sad, but it isn't really too sad. It's mostly hopeful. How incredible is it to know that the only person you've got is yourself? Heck, you can make yourself whatever you'd please. You don't need to rely on someone else to make you feel loved or to even bring a smile to your face. You can simply depend on yourself; and if you're the best version of yourself you can be, how could you possibly become disappointed? As long as you're trying your very best.. That's what should keep you happy.
I know it's important to have good friends and a supportive family surrounding you. But news flash: life is not fair. It never has been and trust me, it never will be. But don't let that get you down. That's just the truth. We shouldn't let the truth bother us as much as it does. We should just accept it and move on. So no, life is not fair and there is always going to be someone who has it "better" than you. But the grass is always greener. You have it better than so many other people in the world. If you're reading this, you must have a computer of some sort which makes you pretty freaking lucky. So yeah, life isn't fair and you can't always depend on others to make your life great.
Friends come and go. Sometimes, they even change likes the seasons. If you find a friend worth holding onto, then do everything you can to hold onto them. If a day comes when they don't want to be in your life anymore, let them leave. If someone wants to walk away you should just let them. Why waste your precious energy on someone who's done wasting theirs on you? Life is short and you only have so much energy so don't go wasting it. That's just a silly mistake and a huge waste of your own valuable time. People come and go because life isn't fair and it doesn't always make sense. That's why you've only got yourself. Some people stay for good, but sometimes you never know when one day a person is going to up and leave your life forever. Accept it. Accept that it will happen at some point in time. If it hasn't happened to you yet (and I hope it hasn't) it may someday. Because life isn't fair. But that's okay. You've got yourself.
Family is always supposed to be around, but families can be crazy. Sometimes things happen. People get busy. People fall in and out of love. People move away. People get old. People die. I don't mean to seem like a Debbie downer. It's just the truth. The truth remains that nothing is permanent. Especially not people. As much as we would love to believe in every sweet story we read and mesmorizing movie we watch, it's important to understand that it's pretend. Not every story has a happy ending. But if you hold on dearly to yourself, your ending can be pretty damn happy.
Just think about it. You've got yourself. You are this wonderful, beautiful, strong, capable human being. You were given this incredible gift of life. Why waste something so precious? You can become whatever you want. You can follow your dreams.
I know we are taught as young kids to follow our dreams and to become whatever our heart desires. Then, you grow up and the world isn't as bright as you always thought. Life isn't as easy as you grew up believing. It's hard to become whatever we want when we may not even know who we are. But let me tell you something.. It's a little bit of a secret, but the world is as bright as you grew up believing. And it's a million times more beautiful than you could ever imagine! It's a wonderful world and you have a wonderful life and you can do whatever you want because it's your life and you've got yourself.
As a teenager, I'm surrounded by people who think their lives are ending. Teenagers. They can be depressed or out of control. Teenagers. The broken hearted. But we are just teenagers. We've lived less than two decades and we think we have got the whole world figured out.
I'll admit, my father says I act like I know it all... And I'm sure I can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. But I'm glad to understand that I'm just a teenager and my life isn't anywhere near ending. All the petty drama with friends and boys, the stress school and sports bring, and all the pressure to fit in.. What's with that anyways? These few years aren't my whole life. I'm only a teenager for so long. It's hard to believe I'm not a kid anymore. Time flies and people change and that is why you've only got yourself. Why act like the whole world is ending when it's only just beginning? Everyday is a new beginning, no matter how old you are.
I'm only starting to fully accept that I've got myself. I hope to be surrounded by love forever, but nothing is permanent. Nothing is perfect. Even the sun sets in paradise, remember? So just love yourself. If you love yourself, others will love you, too. They'll love you and perhaps stick around, because they'll see that you're independent and strong. You don't need them, and when they see that it'll sort of amaze them. Nothing is more beautiful than standing strong when you're standing alone.
Any ordinary person can stand in a big group of people and claim to not be lonely. Yet, It takes someone truly special to stand all alone and admit that they're not lonely. They've got themselves, you see. They don't need you or anyone else. I think that's a very lovely trait to posess; independence.
So you're living on this planet with over seven billion people. There is no one just like you though. You're your own person and not one other person can compare. So maybe the next time you're walking all alone down a busy street, you'll stand a little taller and smile a lot brighter because you've FINALLY realized how unique and important you are.
You've got yourself and you have a long life to live. Make it a memorable life. Make yourself strong and become empowered. You can do whatever you please, so why not do something worthwhile? Until next time xxx.
