There's a difference between having


There's a difference between having a life and living

When you live,

You enjoy time

Your motto becaomse 'Hakunamatata'

Three little birds will appear on your door step and tell you not to worry about a thing

When you live,

You have fun with others around you and enjoy those, happy, specific moments

When you have a life,

You stress 

Your motto becomes 'Bad Karma'

Three little birds appear on your door step and tell you you dont have enough money for anything

When you have a life,

You have responsabilities

When you live, 

You're practically on an ever lasting vacation

You hardly ever complain

You always have a smile on your face

When you live,

You don't really understand priorities

When you have a life,

All you want to do is live 

You constantly thinking ahead to what you have to pay for next

You say no to things you wish you could do or have just so you can continue your 'life'

When you have a life,

You spend time on auto piolet and aren't able to comit to any desires

Living your life is much different than having a life,

That's like a camp fire to some crazy wild fires

Life is taken for granted and thought as to be tough fo most

I've lived and I want to continue living

There were happy times and relaxing times

High school was an awesome place that I will soon start forgetting

The time has come to have a life in college on the west coast 

I will try to live a happy life because if your not doing that your'e kind of just there 

To live is a rare thing because most people just have a life they feel obligated to

When you do what you want,

Then you'll be happy enjoy life- you'll be living
