Don't let another day go by my love, It'll be just like starting over.


Enjoy your youth and act your age. Be young and laugh too much. You're inexperienced, immature and still growing. Don't rush to grow up, when it's too late you'll want to turn back. No one expects you to have all the answers or make all the right decisions, you still have time to learn and know what's best for you. Never take the ones closest to you for granted. Do one thing everyday that scares you. Say things you never would, do things you never thought you'd see yourself doing. Take risks and don't regret them. Never look back on your past and call your actions mistakes, the experience may have been bad but the outcome was positive, you learned from it - its from the worst experiences, we learn the best. Be loyal. Don't be wreckless with people's hearts and don't waste your time on people who are wreckless with yours. Don't take people for granted and never intentionally hurt one. Never get into something until you know you're ready and know what you want. It takes work, time and patience for a good relationship to develop. Respect others privacy and even if you don't like them, respect them as a person. Don't waste your time with jealousy, always think positive. You're not perfect - sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. In the end all you've got is yourself. Never degrade yourself or others around you. Remember the compliments you received, not the insults. Don't compare what you have to what everyone else around you has. Be happy with yourself - you've been granted the gift of living, the greatest gift of all. Make the most of it. Remember that as long as you're happy, nothing else matters. Be confident and have faith in yourself. Know what's best for you and believe in yourself because if you don't, you don't have control of your life anymore, everyone else around you does, so be strong, don't let one lead the life you're living. Never take someone else's advice. Advice is another's opinion, create your own. Live your own experiences and develop your own words of advice to live by. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Throwing it away is a way for you to walk back in to your past, fish it out, touch it up to use it for more than it's worth. It's only during the times we suffer, we realize our strength. Be considerate of others and never assume before you know the facts. Never be surprised at the fact that you're not perfect, you have ups and downs about you and it's difficult to hear them, but sometimes we need to in order to re-assess ourselves and be truthful. You are the only one who knows yourself the best, don't hide what you are or who are you - you may see the flaws in yourself, but making it apparent makes it easier for everyone else around you to notice. Understand the people you're with, see things from another's point of view, be empathic and try to become stoic, you'll end up never hurting yourself and becoming self-assertive. You may not always want to be the one who tells the truth when it doesn't want to be heard, but sometimes it helps one realize themselves. Don't set foot into your past, recreating the past and trying to fix it affects your future. Love who you are, be who you are and have self-respect. Be happy with yourself!

+ I came across that earlier today and it made me feel good about myself. Which is something i haven't done in a long time. It makes me want to start to "live" and not take anything for granted. For awhile i felt like i just sit around my house doing nothing. Not hangout with anyone, go anywhere or do anything but it's time for a change. I need to start living, i need to start over. Fall starts on monday so, that's going to be my goal. To start living, loving and enjoying my life because who knows when it's going to be over. I'm almost 19 and i haven't done half the things other kids my age have done. It's time to change that. From now on, i'm going to live by a quote that i made up. "Life is for the living, I'll sleep when i'm dead."
