My Manifesto

I will live my life. I will love recklessly. Have hope even when the odds are against me. I will get out and see the world, even if I end up coming back. I will dance like no one is watching and sing as loud as I can. I will not be afraid...of sharing how I feel, of being wrong, of failing. I will fail and then fail better until I get it right. I will live my life for me and God and ignore the critics. And when those comment get to me, I will let myself cry. I am allowed to be weak sometimes. Everyday I will take a deep breath, look around, and be amazed by   the beauty around me. I will be thankful. I will be proud. I will be humble. I will teach, and be taught, everyday. I will try to always remember that life is hard, but the bad days are going to be followed with great days. My happiness will not depend on other people. I can be alone but nit be lonely. Life is a balancing act and sometimes you'll drop things, but you're probably better off without them. Things change, people leave, and life goes on. Just remember that. Life goes on...always. Don't let your depression get to you, and if you think it's winning, talk to someone. You have so many people who love you, don't make them worry about you too much. Do crazy things when you're young, but don't do anything you would be ashamed to tell your kids about later. Live, appreciate life, and always remember how fragile the world is. 

Love,
