Live, Laugh, Love. - [Title’s A Little Corny, I know. But Just Read It Okay?]

Yeah, that pretty much tells the story of my life right there. I believe that as long as you are happy with yourself, and proud of who you are, the opinions of others doesn't really matter. Be who you are. And be happy. Live life to the fullest but live smart. Don't ruin your own chance at being happy for the sake of another. If you're in a situation that's bothering you or hurting your self-esteem, and affecting your health, then you should take yourself out of it. Putting yourself through that will only damage your relationship with yourself and your loved ones. Believe me, it's not worth it. In order to love someone else you should first love yourself. That is the only way to love someone. By being happy and secure with yourself, you'll be able to have a stable relationship with the one(s) you care about. To make yourself happy, you should do something you love. Whether it's writing poetry, or hanging out with your friends. As long as it makes you happy. That's all that matters. Why go through life being a pessimist, when you could simply be an optimist? The world is negative enough as it is. Why look at all the bad things in life, when you can look at all the good things instead? Bad things happen to good people. Pfft, bad things happen to ALL people. But if that's the only thing you focus on, then that's all you'll see in life. You should be grateful for all the nice things you DO have instead of craving what you don't. Be thankful for your loved ones, and all the people who care about you. No matter what happens in life the ones that love you will always be there. Yes, there will always be someone in life who doesn't like you, and they'll more than likely tell you how they feel. But it shouldn't matter. Because if they don't like you for being you, then that's their problem. The best way to deal with people like that is to be as nice as you can to them, or better yet just follow the old saying "Treat others how you would want to be treated yourself.", that's how you should treat ALL people. It's the best-way, I think, to show others how you want to be treated. But the point of the matter remains, in order to make yourself happy you should do what's best for you. Don't be selfish or rude about it, be considerate of other people's feelings, but if you're not happy and you're only staying in a particular situation for someone else then you're not living your life for you. Live your life, be happy, smile. Live, laugh, love, but do it for YOU. And no one else. =]
