life is amazing


 

The meaning of life is to just be alive

it is so plain and simple, yet everybody rushes around in great panics as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves

it is scary the way the world can swallow you

time is precious, it should not be spent in anger, you can't see your reflection in boiling water, similarly, you can't see the truths in your life in a state of anger

just speak your mind honestly. it may hurt a little sometimes

and someone may get upset, but in the long run you know it's for the best

life is amazing

we are addicted to our thoughts. we cannot change anything, if we can not change our thinking

you are in control of your happiness

don't ever put your happiness in someone else's hands

they'll drop it

they'll drop it every single time

because expectations are like fine pottery

the harder you hold them, the more likely they are to crack

some of the greatest battles will be fought within the silent chambers of your own soul

there are no happy endings, endings are the saddest parts

sometimes all you can do is lie in bed

maybe cry, afterall salt water is the cure for everything

hope to fall asleep before everything falls apart ,so just give me a happy middle

and a very happy start

but in the end there is only so much dissapointment a person can take before giving up entirely

 make yourself a priority, it's not selfish, it is necessary
