So what do
I know about life? At my age, despite my age, I guess I don’t know any more
than you do. Life is nothing but decisions. What you do, what you don’t do, who
you do, who you don’t do… that’s pretty much it really. Experience will make
you stronger. No one or nothing else will. No one has all the answers, hell no
one has any answers. Opinions. Life is about interpretation and perception.
Beliefs. How do you feel about something? That’s life. Life is emotion. Life is
a path. There is no right or wrong, only choice. I would advise to never allow
someone to dictate your life because their life will be different from your
own. What else? I don’t know. I’m not wise. To answer this question is a bit
hypocritical. I can’t tell you what life is. Life is discovery. I’m trying to
avoid saying life is what you make it because I would like to believe you at
least know that much. Also I hate sounding cliché. One thing I WILL say is to
make sure that when you’re on your death bed, try to have as little regrets as
possible. They’re a real bitch, trust me. It’s not something you’ll 100% avoid
but do what you can to keep that number down.
How old are
you? Are you a child? If you are, listen closely because this will take some
time to sink in. Your parents are possibly clueless. Not meant to be mean; they
do want what’s best for you, hopefully. But sometimes that ‘want’ can interfere
with your decisions, your path. Sometimes you have to make mistakes. Sometimes
you fail. Failure is good. It’s nothing more than a life lesson. Your parents
don’t want you to fail, which is understandable. They don’t want you to be sad
and hurt, A crushed dream sucks but not as much as an ignored one. Go for them.
Fail, and then you’ll succeed. Does that make sense? It will. Are you older
than a child? Then you probably noticed I didn’t talk much about having people
in your life; a very touchy and intricate subject. People can be helpful. Then
can also suck. They are both necessary and unnecessary. Everyone is people, and
I mean everyone. Friends, lovers, family, bosses, they all fall into one
category. You are people to someone else and people do not have the answers.
Does what I say make sense? I am people too and I don’t have the answers. I
have my answers to my question. Apparently life is an assignment, similar to
that of an English class. How good will you do? Beats me. Go find out.
Determine your passing grade. YOU determine it. Don’t let people determine it
for you. Remember them? Do you get it now? If you listen to me then you’re a
fool, maybe even a bigger fool than I give you credit for. That’s what life is.
