Boo F*cking-hoo

We musn't forget that life is only as serious as we make it. I refuse to take every bad experience and make it seem like it's a life changing thing. It is what it is. Sh*t happens. So you got dumped. So you got rained on. So you stepped on gum. Boo-f*cking-hoo. That doesn't mean we must forget to smile.

Sometimes, when you're really down, you have to realize that not everything has gone wrong. You still have eyes to see with, hands to work with, food to eat, or whatever it is that you have. It's so easy to complain when things don't go our way, but if you look closely, there are people with problems far more grave than ours.

Life is a playground. Don't sit on the swing all your life. Not when you can go run into the fields, slide down that great big pipe and climb that tree. A few scrapes and bruises along the way won't stop you.

The key to life, I think, is balance. We must learn when to take things seriously, and when not to. A good friend told me "Feel the pain all you want, just don't forget how to live."

So, no emo today, kids. Only dorky faces from your (hopefully) blogwhore.
