Life is Scary

Life is not perfect, and I think embracing its imperfections is what makes the experience fulfilling. For example, there will be fights, trying times, sadness, and despair. However, there will also be joy, faith, love, and inspiration. We have to enjoy the good with the bad. The good may not always outweigh the bad but with strong and loving people in your life the bad will not only be bearable but it will also broaden your perspectives as a person. People today are all about instant gratification, selfishness, and personal fulfillment no matter what the cost. When we learn that life is hard but beautiful, it puts us one step ahead of the game. This attitude will be mandatory if you want to live an enjoyable life. Remember you cannot depend on other people for your happiness because if you do happiness will never be yours. Find yourself first. Let me say it again, FIND YOURSELF FIRST. At twenty years old, I am just coming into my own skin. I have so many more enjoyable years learning who I am ON MY OWN. This is important!!!! One cannot search for a partner until they know who they are on their own. Too many people rely/identify themselves by their significant other, and this is a problem. Life is a crazy roller coaster ride, but if you learn to enjoy the ride and let go of the handle bar once in awhile you are going to feel so much better. Granted, we all want to find that person who we can share are lives with. However, don't rule out spending time with yourself! And I am NOT saying be selfish. I am saying find out what you like, what your dreams are, what contribution you want to give to society.
Become aware of your surroundings and become aware of your SELF.

Thats all................
