Remember when.. --
remember when getting high meant swinging at the playground, the worst thing you could get from the opposite sex was cooties, mom was your hero and dad was the guy you were gonna marry, your worst enemies were your teachers or your siblings, race issues was who ran the fastest, war was a card game, the only drugs you knew was cough medicine and a girl that wore a skirt didn't have to be a slut; the only thing you smoked were the tires on your bike, the only thing that hurt was skinned knees and the only things that can get broken were your toys. life was simple and care free, but what i remember the most was wanting to grow up...
Remember When...boys had cooties, when friends always listened to you, when dreams were unshatterer and worries were few. when recess was too short and life was too long. when decisions came easily with no need to belong. when storks delivered babies and passions werent so strong when friendships werent broken, right was right and wrong was wrong.when bad things didnt happen, only skinned knees brought tears and the night light quieted all our fears.when decisions were solved by "eenie, meanie, minie,mo." when boys were so YuCkY! and goodbye only meant till tomorrow. when your clothes didnt need to match and real friends didnt part. and the fun went on forever without a broken heart...
Life just isn't --
Life isn't all it's cut out to be. It has it's ups and it's down. But, you have to
embrace those ups and downs and learn from them. You can't just sit back
and mope and make people have pity for you. You have to put those things
that are hurting you aside and live. You only get one life, and that one life
isn't that long. You have to do everything that comes your way. Yeah, you
might get embarrassed, but in a month...no one will remember. You have to
do what you feel is right. You can't worry about other people. Just live life
how you would want to live it. Don't follow examples, make them. Let people
follow in your footsteps. Sometimes, you just have to dance around your room
and look like a fool. Other times, you just have to sing as loud as you can, even
if you do sound bad. You haven't lived until you've danced around in your underwear.
And most of all...You need to laugh. Never go a day without laughing, or at least
smiling. It doesn't matter if you have had the worst day, If you just laugh, everything
will be ok. For the most part, just be you. Don't listen to others. They are going to
make fun of you. They are going to tell you that you are stupid. But that is
their opinion. It only becomes true when you start to believe it.
