We try so hard
to achieve things we don't want nor need
to impress people who couldn't care less
to be on top, to be first, to be best
That we forget
to do things we enjoy
to focus on small, simple things that make us happy
to be thankful and appreciate what we have
But we can learn
to be thankful and appreciate what we have
to focus on small, simple things that make us happy
to do things we enjoy
So that we won't try so hard
to be on top, to be first, to be best
to impress people who couldn't care less
to achieve things we don't want nor need
to achieve things we don't want nor need

Just be yourself and enjoy life.
That's all. If you are in hurry, that's all you need to read. However if you have time, here are some of my thoughts...
...
I'm sure writing like this is nothing new to anyone. Everybody has probably seen tons of things like this. And you're probably thinking "how unoriginal and cliche".
Still, I wanted to somehow approach this subject. If only to remind myself and those around me about something I'm currently learning.
I'm 18 years old. I'm young. I can't claim to know much. I'm not one to lecture others or tell anyone how to live their life.
But I want to have a positive effect on those around me, I want to at least try to make people around me as happy as I can.
My whole life up until this point I've lived life as a perfectionist and someone who only cares about achievements and the like. I've measured the value of my life through the grades I've gotten, etc.. If something hasn't gone as I planned I've been very upset and angry and sad.
Now I'm learning something. I don't know why now or how, but it doesn't matter all that much.
I'm learning to live my life for myself. I'm learning to do things the way I want to, the way I enjoy. I'm learning tha it's okay not to plan everything all the time. I'm learning that while it is important to listen to others and care for them and their opinions, they can't tell you how to live your life, they can't make your decisions.
I've spent all of my short life worrying about whether or not I'm ever going to achieve something "big", but I am hopefully slowly but surely moving on and going to stop worrying about things like that. It feels good.
I've been feeling many emotions lately and sometimes I've scolded myself for being "too sad" or "too happy" or "too emotional", but... it's okay. It's okay for me to feel whatever I feel. It's life.
If you've read to this point, let me applaud you
I know lots of people are busy and people on the Internet often just want to have fun and fool around, that's okay too by the way, so if you take time for something like this, thank you.
Why I wrote this?
I guess I just hope someone sees this and maybe thinks about things a bit. I guess I just hope this maybe helps someone or cheers someone up. But if this doesn't and this is just a waste of your time that's okay too. If you think this is stupid and pointless, that's okay too. After all, these are only my thoughts and how I see life right now.
I hope you, whoever you are, enjoy your life and live it for yourself.
Picture also by me, by the way.
