Life

I know that I'm just nineteen years old, but I've learned a lot of lessons during those nineteen years.
First, you have to watch who you trust. Some people in your life only want to hear your business so that they can be nosy and pass it along. There are a very few people in your life that actually care about you and want to help you with any problems you have. When you find those people, cherish them.
This brings me to the second thing: friends. For the most part, friends will come and go in your life. You make friends during high school, college classes, summer jobs, and other events. Many of these are just for a short time, but that doesn't mean that they are not valuable. When you find your true best friends though, the ones that will stay with you no matter what and who honestly understand you completely, hang on to them. Which, in my case, they will hang on to you no matter what!!
You have to live for the little things. Dance in the rain. Sing at the top of your lungs. Lay in the sun, just because you want to. Laugh until your stomach hurts. Hang out with your best friends all day long. The little things in life are the things that you remember, like the silly stupid things that make you smile. And when life gives you all these huge problems that you think will overwhelm you....relax. Think of the little things that make you smile, and everything just doesn't feel that bad.
Don't listen to what everyone says about you. Gossip is a horrible monster that can destroy you if you let it. Also, don't let what others say about you make you feel like you're worthless. Whether they say you're ugly, fat, or a slut, just remember that what you think about yourself is worth millions more than what they say. You're a beautiful, wonderful person and others will tear you down from jealousy if you let them.
Just live. Do the things that you never thought you would be able to. You will regret what you didn't do more than what you did. In actuality, you rarely regret what you do...at least I don't. Sometimes, I wish I could go back and redo something because I should have done something when I didn't. Push yourself to your limits, but always know how to relax and kick back. Drive for no reason and splurge on yourself every once in a while. Don't let life pass you by; it's way too short.
