My opinion.

you know, this is what i think (i tend to be a deep thinker late at night and when i run really hard) i figure life is a gift. don't waste it! its too short and too wonderful. make it count. don't live so that when you're 103 you wish everything would have been different. live so that when you're 103 you smile and think, ''dang, what an amazing and crazy and wonderful adventure that was!" no regrets :)

don't be afraid at all to be your really real self, no matter how dorky, how weird, how quirky, how normal, how nerdy, how smart, how sweet, how cranky, how boring, how crazy, how dull, how unique, how awkward, or how dumb you are. don't be someone you aren't. its your life. not anyone else's. don't listen to what those other people have to say. do things for you. live your life for you. have fun, laugh really really really hard, have wild dreams, then chase after and catch those wild dreams. if they don't happen, just keep dreaming of new dreams to chase. let people know what they mean to you. mean what you say. appreciate those people who treat you right. don't expect everything to be easy. good things are never easy, but they are worth fighting for and working for. have faith. believe in the impossible cuz you really never know, anything is possible. lightning could strike. things and people change. know when to let go. know when to hang on. i think you should mostly listen to your heart. it knows you really well. it usually lets you know what you really want and what you should do. be grateful regardless of the ups and downs and the curves life throws at you. try to be happy when you don't want to be. play-a very lot. don't be scared of being a goofball. be classy. don't be a know it all. respect what others have to say and their opinions. work hard. learn everyday. cry hard. sing at the top of your lungs in the car. its ok to complain sometimes, but don't do it too often, or that will just drag you down and make you crazy. don't be too hard on yourself. you're more amazing than you'll ever realize. be with people who make you insanely happy. look on the brightside. try you're best to be positive. don't be a fake. respect and love everyone. learn and grow from heartache, failures, and mistakes. don't let them define you, but let them teach you.

fall madly and passionately and crazy in love, but don't rush it and don't settle for less than someone who gives you those really amazing butterflies. you know the kind i mean-the ones where the second you see them smile, you're heart skips 3 beats and your stomach does that funny thing and time just stops and you'd do anything to make that second with them last forever. get swept away. cherish memories and think of your favorites often. don't live in the past. don't be scared or worry about the future. be smart. have deep conversations about anything and everything. count falling stars-make sure to wish on them. don't let anyone tell you that you can't do anything, cuz you can anything you set your mind to. you can make your situation and your life just what you want it to be. it doesn't matter your job, your major, your background, your likes, your dislikes, your interests, your personality-enjoy what you do and do it well. don't forget about who you are. stand up for yourself. if you're not happy, change whats causing the unhappiness. always look for ways to help others in need. eat dessert-first. pray. enjoy the big and little things you love. look for beauty in the world. sleep in every so often. eat cookie dough and brownie batter-salmonella isn't real. watch sunsets and sunrises. be amazed at fireworks. believe in miracles. try sushi at least once. watch a lightning storm. eat pancakes for dinner. put bacon on everything. spend money on silly things you don't need. take care of yourself. look for adventures, no matter how big or how small, in the everyday and enjoy something new. do something that scares you everyday. talk to little kids-they've got a great take on the world. call your parents and siblings and grandparents and tell them you love them and hug them. take a million pictures. don't let the bad in the world get you down. attitude is everything. don't be jealous. you really can make it out of every situation alive.

anyways, i know i sound like such a cornball. and trust me, i know life can be crazy, ridiculous, unfair, uncertain, and just plain bad (and also really great, really exciting, really funny, and really amazing) at times, but this is you're one shot. its you're one turn. make sure you start living. i don't know about you, but sometimes i get really sad that i  can't have a million bazillion years. so i just think its important to enjoy life. make it count. it is beautiful and wonderful you know :)

I just love life, thats all : )

i just really love life. even tho it can be so hard, and so confusing and so unfair, tough, and mean, i still just think it is absolutely wonderful! where else can you experience the joy of being able to eat ice cream with oreos, reeses, and cookie dough all mixed in it, or to laugh til tears are streaming down your face and your sides are on fire, or to feel those butterflies when you meet someone who takes your breath away-and to feel what your stomach does each time they walk by? or to experience how great it feels to lay under the stars and count how many fall in one night in the summertime? where else can you experience the chance to chase after your craziest, most wildest dreams, no matter how often they change or how scary they seem, to go where you want and do what you please? where else can you pick yourself up after making mistakes, to learn from them, to change and become a better version of yourself? to not regret some mistakes? where else are you able to tell someone you love them, to hear a baby laugh, to kiss in the rain, to live in the moment, to listen to your heart instead of your head, to be with the people who make you happiest, to cry for no reason at all, to cry because you have all the reasons in the world to, to spend all your money on things you don't need and to not regret a single purchase, to tell people how you feel, to change who you are, to be your very true dorky self and to not give a darn about what people think? to stay true to what you believe, to help others, to be rebellious, to break hearts, to have your heart broken, to be very pleasantly surprised, to order dessert first, to make up stories about why you're late for work, to eat a double bacon cheeseburger, to stay home all day and do absolutely nothing, to read a whole book in 2 hours? to hold hands while you talk about absolutely nothing all night, to wish for something that may never happen but you still wish anyways? to want something you can't have, to have everything you want? where else can you listen to music that explains exactly what you are feeling, to find an old picture that brings back the happiest memories? where else will you be able to meet people that change your life for the good? or for the bad? to have eating contests, board game competitions, inside jokes? to dance to your favorite song in your underwear while you're getting dressed for the day? where else are you able to enjoy the smell of fresh chocolate chip cookies, the feeling of warm towels straight out of the dryer, the cool side of the pillow, to watch ear numbing fireworks, or experience the excitement of christmas eve? where else can you collect memories and replay your favorites anytime you want? where else can you sit and watch the sun set or rise and be blown away by the colors in the sky, or to watch a lightning storm in the middle of the night? to be able to dance in the rain, swim in the ocean, ride a roller coaster 10 times in a row, conquer your fears, or to learn something new?

i just figure life is a gift, and i don't intend to waste it :)
