Wait Darling

How many times a day do you say "sorry"? You apologize not necessarily because something is your fault, but because  you're just trying to please those around you. Because you're just that person; you try so hard to please everyone so you don't have to be alone, but then you forget about yourself. I hate it, because you don't deserve that. The nice people are always the one's who get taken advantage of. How is that right? It's not. And that one time that you lose your temper, everyone gets angry, and then everything is your fault. You consider just giving up, making them regret ever treating you badly. Don't though, because one day, you will meet a nice person who won't take advantage.

Education Shmation

School is truly messed up. I mean, I know everyone hates it, but have you ever taken a moment to think about how horrible it really is? It's past the point where it's about learning things, now it's all about the grades. The teacher's could care less; they put in less effort than the students, and they hate it just as much. They just assume that all kids are going to all be good at the exact same things. Why should I have to take Calculus when I have no interest in pursuing math at any time during my life? I shouldn't. Beyond the pure academics of it all, I also find the social aspect to be cruel.

Teenagers already have a hard enough time with their hormones all in whack; we're grumpy, angry, lazy, cold. And they decided to just stick us all together and assumed that we wouldn't make each others lives miserable. That's almost worse than the homework itself. Kids in school get so bored that they just go around saying horrible, horrible things about each other. Did you know that the average high school student has a higher anxiety rate than an insane asylum patient in the 1950s. There is definitely something wrong here. But is anyone going to do something about it? Nope.

If I Die, It's Your Fault

One of my least favorite things is when someone tells someone else that they're not allowed to be sad because someone has it worse than they do, that's like telling someone that they're not allowed to be happy because someone has it better than they do. It's all circumstantial. Everyone handles things in their own ways; everyone has their own struggles and pains, and just because someone may be more blessed than someone else, doesn't mean that they don't feel pain.

Have you noticed that sad people always try the hardest to make others happy? It's because they know what it's like; they know what it's like to be alone, depressed, isolated. It would be nice if we could all just be happy. Truly, it would be just delightful if the little things didn't bring us down, if people were nice to each other, if love only came to those who would receive love it return. But that's not how the world works. Be sad. It's okay.

Selfish

A lot of people say that committing suicide is a selfish act; "You punish those around you for your own benefits." Really? You think that suicide is selfish? You think it's horrible? You think it's a sin? You know what's horrible? Making someone feel so incredibly awful that they want to take their own life. Suicide is the last resort. And it's so tempting. You have no clue what their life is like. You have no clue what they've been through. You have no right to tell them they're being selfish. You have no right to mourn their death when you never even gave a shit about their life. I don't like it, I don't condone it, I will always be there for anyone who needs someone, but that doesn't mean that I don't get it. Because oh ho do I get it. Feeling worthless, feeling undesirable, lifeless, having no purpose, every dream of yours gets crushed one right after another, and no matter what you do, no matter how happy you try to be, because you try so hard to be happy, happiness never comes, nothing comes. And in that moment, you feel that you have no choice. You have to kill yourself.

Ya Feel Me?

Do you ever feel like you're not good enough? It's not that you're bad at something, you're just a little less than what people expect you to be. And the worse part is that you don't even have "A thing". That one thing that makes you special, that one thing that you're really good at, something that sets you apart from the rest. You have things you like to do. Like sleep; I'm really good at sleep, but that counts for nothing. I enjoy writing, but in all honesty, everyone enjoys writing. And I'm not exceptional at it, I'm not better than anybody else. I play the piano, but everyone and their brother plays the piano. I'm not even that good at the piano, at least not as good as others. That's another hard thing; there's always someone whose better. You may be "Good" at something, like dancing. Let's say you have been a ballerina ever since you knew how to walk, you eat, sleep, and breathe ballet. You practice four hours a day, five days a week, and you finally made it to the audition for this big ballet company. You are so excited, you've been waiting your entire life for this; you're the best in your class, your teacher adored you, but then when you get there, and you see this girl, and you see that girls audition and you know that she's better than you; you know that she practices five hours a day, six days a week, you know she loves it just a little more, she wants it just a little more. Suddenly, all your hard work didn't even matter, the praises mean nothing, the bruises and blisters were all for nothing, because in the end, someone is always better.

Self Image

I want you to pick your favorite celebrity, whoever it may be; Johnny Depp, Katy Perry, Morgan Freeman, doesn't matter, just pick one. Now, I want you to put a price on them. How much is this person worth? Not net-worth, but simply as a person, how much would you be willing to pay to keep this person alive?
Now. How much are you worth? Yeah, following the celebrity question, this can be a little challenging to answer. But you need to know, that you are worth just as much, if not more than your favorite celebrity.
I hate how this world, how this society, makes us feel about ourselves. Makes us think that because we aren't a certain size, or because we don't act a certain way, that we aren't good enough. I want you to know that you are good enough; it's society that has problems. I'm not saying that even with a positive self image, you're not going to have doubt, and you're not going to feel bad about yourself every once in a while; I do. I'm not going to lie, I have self-worth problems, but at least I know that because I don't look a certain way, doesn't mean that I am worth any less or that I don't deserve to be treated well. Because I do. And you do, too.

Beginning of my Advice

The biggest question in life, really, is, "What is the answer?" You know, why are here, what's our purpose, blah blah blah, but really, do you know?
I have an idea, which is obvious; love. It may sound stupid and cheesy, but I believe in love with all of my heart, I believe in soul-mates and love at first sight and that it is most powerful thing in the world. It can do amazing things, but it can also do horrible things. Love tears people up, it makes them worthless, it can ruin lives; it's powerful, and all powerful things need to be protected and used with caution.
So in life, I want you to fall in love. So many people fall "In love" with objects, or occupations, but in the end, when you're on your death bed how much are you really care about the money bank account? You're not. I think you should take a leap a faith, don't turn something down just because you're scared, don't put up with people who treat you like shit because the only people who are worthy of your love, are the people who love you every bit in return.
So that's my answer, and that's how I plan on living my life; full of love.
