Open Eyes


I now have open eyes The basics of life are fairly simple, so read with open minds If you have a dream, pursue it Love is like wine You must try many kinds before you find the right one for you, and the best ones are the ones that have matured Real friends are the ones that like you for your flaws and love you for you Life.. You just have to get used to it because what happens to you is based on what other people chose to do You can not control what they do You can only survive Happiness is only achieved when you realize that nothing and one is perfect, every day is a blessing, and the world doesnt revolve around you Its better to remove yourself from the equation of life and put others first And when life knocks you down, (because IT WILL) you must be sure not to just get back up.. But have the courage to take life by the horns and throw hell right back at it
