It's not about how many friends you have.
Not about if you have plans this weekend or if you're alone.
It isn't about who you're dating,
who you used to date, how many
people you've dated, or if you
haven't been with anyone at all.
It isn't about who you have kissed, it's not about sex.
It isn't about who your family is
or how much money they have. Or
what kind of car you drive.
Or where you went to school.
It's not about how beautiful or
ugly you are. Or what clothes you
wear, what shoes you have on, or
what kind of music you listen to...
It's not about if your hair is blonde,
red, black, or brown. Or if
your skin is too light or too dark.
Not about what grades you get, how
smart you are, how smart
everybody else thinks you are,
or how smart standardized tests say
you are.
It's not about what clubs you're
in or how good you are at "your"
sport.
It's not about representing your
whole being on a piece of paper
and seeing who will "accept the
written you."
LIFE JUST ISN'T...
But, life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust...
It's about friendship, used as a sanctity or a weapon.
It's about what you say and mean,
maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.
About starting rumors and contributing
to petty gossip.
It's about what judgments you pass
and why... And who your
judgments are spread to.
It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention.
It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate and
love, letting it grow, and
spreading it.
But most of all, it's about using
your life to touch or poison other
people's hearts in such a way that
could have never occurred alone.
Only you choose the way those hearts
are affected, and those choices
are what life's all about.
