Live For Today

     Happiness: a state of well-being and contentment. When you think all things are lost, and things aren't going as planned, all it takes is those people who have loved you from the beginning to turn things around.
     As life goes on and we get distracted by things that won't matter at the end of the day, we loose sight if the things that do matter. You don't feel it until you wake up from being distracted, it slowly slips away from you, and slowly takes the pieces that mattered. You think you are happy with the distractions, but they are just that, distractions. You loose yourself in them. It's like you are acting in this grand play, your not yourself. But, you always wake up, eventually!
     You can't rely on anything else for your own happiness. Only you can be responsible for that. Accept who your are, completely, the good and the bad. Make the changes you need in your life to make YOU happy, don't accommodate your choices for someone else. I don't want you to forget who you really are, behind those distractions. I'm not talking about your so called real name. All names are made up by someone else, even the one your parents gave you. You are the only one who knows who you really are. When you're alone at night, looking up at the stars, or maybe lying in your bed in total darkness, you know that nameless person inside you, don't forget who that is, no matter how many distractions are in your life. Your happiness is what matters the most, not your best friends, or the girl next to you in class. Don't live a life full of "what if"'s and "if I", don't regret turning down those opportunities that were given to you.
     One day your life will flash before your eyes, make sure it's worth watching. The people that have loved you from the beginning are the most important people to love with all your heart. They give me happiness I have lost in my distractions. Live for today, because yesterday is gone and tomorrow is never promised.
