life.

so... a couple of years ago i was suffering from some sort of ridiculously stupid (pre)mid-life crisis that escapes me right now... i cant remember what it was about. probably a boy. or school. but i came home one day and my mom had put this quote on my bed with a note that just said "i love you." and it has been hanging on my bedroom mirror ever since. and i love it. and the reason i was thinking about it, is because there is one person in particular who i kind of just want to scream it at right now. haha. (jennie, you know who i am talking about.) and i know that this person won't read it on here, but i am posting it anyway. so enjoy. :)

"life isn't about keeping score. it's not about how many people call you, and it's not about who you've dated, are dating, or haven't dated at all. it isn't about who you've kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. it's not about your shoes or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school. in fact, it's not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. life just isn't about that. but life is about who you love and who you hurt. it's about how you feel about yourself. it's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. it's about what you say and what you mean. it's about seeing people for who they are and not for what they have. most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. these choices are what life is about."
