Life isn’t about keeping score.
It’s not about how many people call you,
and it’s not about who you’ve dated, are dating, or
haven’t dated at all.
It isn’t about who you’ve kissed, what sport you play,
or which guy or girl likes you.
It’s not about your shoes or your hair or the color of
your skin or where you live or go to school.
In fact, it’s not about grades, money, clothes, or
colleges that accept you or not.
Life isn’t about if you have lots of friends, or if
you are alone,
and it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are.
Life just isn’t about that.
But life is about who you love and who you
hurt.
It’s about how you feel about yourself.
It’s about trust, happiness, and
compassion.
It’s about sticking up for your friends and replacing
inner hate with love.
Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance,
and building confidence.
It’s about what you say and what you mean.
It’s about seeing people for who they are
and not what they have.
Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to
touch someone else’s in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise.
These choices are what life’s about.
