The Guide for Life

(A collection of knowledge I've gathered in the short 13 years of my life.)

#MyGuideForLife

Rules to live by:
-Feel free to wallow in your own sadness. It okay to feel sad. Just don't stay there too long. Then, it might drown you.
-Pain is good. It DOES make you stronger. Bare though it, and you will find the next burden you must carry will be lighter.
-Keep a positive outlook on life does help.
-When you think it's impossible to make it, remember that someone, somewhere have gone through worse than you. And they survived. And you can too.
-When you feel alone, and are alone, humor helps.
-Never. Give. Up. No matter how bleak the situtation, no matter how you feel.
-Always fight for what you believe in.
-When someone angers you, stay calm. Your anger will spread, and consume you otherwise. When that happens, there's no telling what could happen.
-No matter what you think at times, someone out there DOES love you. (Don't even TRY to argue with me on this one! It's true.)

- Pain NEVER lasts. Sadness NEVER lasts. It could takes YEARS to go away. But when it does, and you see happiness soak back into your life... Well, there's no better feeling.
-Find joy in the simple things. Sunrises, birds, a favorite place you go to... They can be your lifelines sometimes.
-Try to be opened minded. The world is suddenly filled with new possibilities when you are.
-If you can't live for yourself, live for others. Bdcause they are the only ones that matter at that point.
-Drawing big circles on pieces of paper when you're angry at someone does, surprisingly, get rid of anger. For me, at least.
-Don't judge others when you first see them.
-More IMPORTANTLY, don't judge YOURSELF so harshly. People can think whatever they want of you, but you should think of yourself as better than those who think badly of you.
-Don't let those that think badly of you into your life, if you can help it.
-Those who DO think badly of you aren't worth %^*#. (Can I get a "AMEN"? )

-Crying does relieve sadness.
- When those who hurt you give you pain, Cry if you need to, but just don't make sure your enemies don't know you're in pain.
-Act strong around your enemies. BE strong for your friends.
-When the world is crumbling down around you, find a good friend, hold on tight, and never let go.
-If you're alone in the world, then show the world that you can stand on your own two feet.
-This is not the end. It's NEVER the end. It's only the end when you say it is.
-Don't live in the past. But don't ever forget it either. For if you move on with your life, and still remember the past, you can think to yourself, "I survived then. I'm still here. I survived then. And I can survive now."

(I only stole one of these.
I actually have discovered the others on my own. These are literally my rules of my life. )
