Laugh -even when you feel too sick
or too worn out or tired.
Smile- even when you're trying not
to cry and the tears are blurring your vision.
Sing -even when people stare at you and tell you your voice is
crappy.
Trust -even when your heart begs you not to.
Twirl-even when your mind makes no sense of what you see.
Frolick-even when you are made fun of. Kiss -even when others are
watching.
Sleep -even when you're afraid of what the dreams might
bring.
Run -even when it feels like you can't run any more.
And, always remember, even when the memories pinch your heart.
Because the pain of all your experience is what makes you the
person you are now. And without your experience-you are an empty
page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric. What makes you brave is
your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold your
head up high the next day. So don't live life in fear.
Because you are stronger now, after all the crap has happened,
than you ever were back before it started....
