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 your 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 isn’t just 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 is about.
