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 your
hair 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 trust, happiness and compassion. 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 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's about.♥
