a life worth living

1 year ago · 1 · life, +9


332

we are told to live our lives to the fullest

as we enter the illuminating world

our big curious eyes wonder our surroundings

taking our first real breaths of fresh air

life was so easy back then-

nothing to do, no cares in the world

the only thing that mattered to us was getting cared for

our parents took care of us when we couldn't

but now, we all grew up

and things changed, life got a whole lot harder

our parents were no longer around to hold our hand every second

and we had to learn to figure life out ourselves

eventually we had ups and downs

some days we felt like curling up in a little ball, in a dark room

all we wanted was to feel like doing nothing

the overbearing amounts of stress that got put on us

society weighing us down, perfect standards of fitting in

popularity became a key to success

how can we live our lives to the fullest

if we have this altered picture in our mind

distorting our thoughts and actions

suddenly living life never seemed so hard

add school to the list and it's almost impossible

not to mention any family drama, friend drama, and relationship drama

my point is,

stop worrying what other people think of you

because i guarantee you, that person is most likely worrying what you think of them

if we all just stop worrying, there wouldn't be an need to worry

life could get better

people could actually bring others up instead of down

complimenting them and doing simple friendly gestures

a smile or even a wave can do so much

when you get the chance,

try to bring others up, they can even be total random strangers

trust me, it will make their day

and only then would our lives be worth living.
