Breathe Deeply. Exhale. Repeat...

I'm sixteen years old... I'm sixteen years old, and I already have my life planned out. I have my plans set. I have my future picked out as easily as someone picks out a pair of shoes. I have big ambition and big plans, but I've realized something huge in all this planning... These plans may not work out. These goals may not ever get reached. This ambition may be an endless stream never to be used for anything but a stream, or in this case, only for myself. I've learned that no matter what, there's only one thing.
In five years, what do I want to be?
I want to be happy. 

The thing that everyone must learn in life is that nothing will ever satisfy you if you're not happy. Who wants to go through life unhappy? Unsatisfied? Not me. Those people who go through life ungrateful and insatiable must have such a hard time. Always wanting more. Never appreciating the little things.
Happiness is the breath of life. Breathe deeply. Exhale. Repeat.

I cannot speak for everyone, but sometimes you just have to choose to be happy. Pick the things that make you happy. Don't settle for anything less.

The future is always changing. Aim for a bright future. Don't dread the days that follow. Don't dread life. Make life something worthwhile. I have my share of days, but when those days are at a close, I try to rethink and change my outlook, my perspective, my attitude towards whatever situation I'm in. My attitude towards life.
Everything happens for a reason. Some things are just meant to be. Battling it out with mother nature or with the unresponsive world around you will only leave you left with disappointment and wounds. Put your weapons down. Love always.

This concludes my lecture/rant...

Who am I to tell people how to act or how to live their own lives? This isn't that at all, I assure you. We all have our own stories...This is me telling myself how to act... This is helping me with my own story.
