Life

Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many friends you have
Or how accepted you are.
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 abouut 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 are sent 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.

Have you ever tried to decide what belongs on a "Home Page"? I've seen lots of pages devoted to this or that, and pages wherein people describe themselves, but I'm not obsessed about anything enough to make a page or site about it that someone else hasn't already done a better job doing, and if I were to describe myself, well that wouldn't really tell you what I am like, would it? So instead I thought about what makes up my life: reading a book and listening to my music, my crafts, where I chat online, and the pages themselves display another hobby of mine: web pages. You'd think I was crazy; I actually like my job well enough that I do the same thing for fun in my spare time! I remember being told when I was small that the key to being happy is to find something I like doing, then find someone to pay me for doing it. Although at seven, I admit, I couldn't figure out how I'd get paid to watch cartoons and play in the back yard!
So, welcome to my home pages, a brief and somewhat indirect tour of me, my life and my interests!
