LIFE

It isn't about who your family is or how much money they have

Or what kind of car you drive.

Or where you are sent to school.

It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are.

Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on,

Or what kind of music you listen to.

It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or brown

Or if your skin is too light or too dark.

Not about what grades you get, how smart you are,

How smart everybody else thinks you are,

Or how smart standardised tests say you are.

It's not about what clubs you're in or how good you are at "your" sport.

It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper and seeing who will "accept the written you."

But, life is about whom you love and whom you hurt.

It's about whom you make happy or unhappy purposefully.

It's about keeping or betraying trust.

Its about friendship, used as sanctity or a weapon.

It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening..

About starting rumours and contributing to petty gossip.

It's about what judgements you pass and why.

And who your judgements are spread to.

It's about whom you've ignored with full control and intention.

It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.

It's about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow, and spreading it.

But most of all, it's about using your life to touch or poison other

People's hearts in such a way that could have never occurred alone.

Only you choose the way those hearts are affected, and those choices are what life's all about.
