"Life"<br /> <br />Life isn't about keeping score.<br />It's not about how many friends you have<br />Or how accepted you are.<br />Not about if you have plans this weekend or if<br /> you're alone.<br />It isn't about who you're dating, who you used to date,<br /> how many people you've dated, or if you haven't been<br /> with anyone at all.<br />It isn't about who you have kissed.<br />It's not about sex.<br />It isn't about who your family is or how much money<br /> they have.<br />Or what kind of car you drive.<br />Or where you are sent to school.<br />It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are.<br />Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on,<br /> or what kind of music you listen to.<br />It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or brown.<br />Or if your skin is too light or too dark.<br />Not about what grades you get, how smart you are,<br /> how smart everybody else thinks you are, or how<br /> smart standardized tests say you are.<br />It's not about what clubs you're in or how good you<br /> are at "your" sport.<br />It's not about representing your whole being on a piece<br /> of paper and seeing who will "accept" the written you.<br /> <br />LIFE JUST ISN'T.<br /> <br />But, life is about who you love and who you hurt.<br />It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.<br />It's about keeping or betraying trust.<br />It's about friendship, used as a sanctity or a weapon.<br />It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful,<br /> maybe heartening.<br />About starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip.<br />It's about what judgments you pass and why. And who<br /> your judgments are spread to.<br />It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention.<br />It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.<br />It's about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow, and<br /> spreading it.<br />But most of all, it's about using your life to touch or<br /> poison other people's hearts in such a way that could<br /> have never occurred alone.<br />Only you choose the way those hearts are affected, and<br /> those choices are what life's all about.
