Some people will tell you that life is a game,
but believe me when I say that it is not about winning or losing.

The point of life isn't to see who's falling down,
who stands tall, or who is secretly bruising.

Because sometimes we lose people and things
and hopes without really choosing,
and life is a funny character that plays tricks on us that are not always amusing.

But when you change your perspective,
you'll find your good days and bad days start fusing
because you'll see that life's not so black and white,
but rather an experience that can be quite confusing.

And that's why life may be game,
but it isn't about winning or losing.
It's about learning and letting go,
and making the most out of the time you're using.

just like some of you,
I was born insecure.
Born flawed.
Born covered of unaccepted imperfections.
but hey,
there’s a good news
I was born where life is a series of choices
and i’ve given a choice
to love my own self.
I have a choice to accept what i am
and be not like someone else.

You drew a heart
with your pen...

... on paper skin.

Dear Self, the Milky Way is hurtling through space constantly,
which means you’re always moving forward, even if you can’t feel it.

Dear Self, when you’re trying really hard and nothing’s changing,
remember that even with all the energy of the Sun, it takes light over 8 minutes to reach the Earth;some things just take time.

Dear Self, if you lived on the moon, everything would weigh just a sixth of what it does on Earth

So when the weight of carrying your shortcomings around makes you shake and hunch over

Remember the years you spent in high school forming a backbone that could withstand a hurricane

And realize what your mother meant when she told you how strong you are.


Georgia Radley, Letter to My Self.

Friendship is the strangest
but greatest thing in the world
I find my time with them,
the best time of my life

My friends are my heart,
my soul, my fun
my laughter, tears, love and
My life. . .

Occupied by your knowledge
Eager to learn your story
Your word is a piece of art
And your heart is filled with glory
I adore you
You got me anxious
You inspire me to be exquisite
I can’t be silent about your power
Your something else
A different flower
You've accomplished my heart
Yet this seems idiotic
But I’m being ferocious about these feelings
They hold too much meaning
I’m just being real
You intrigue my thoughts
You got me feigning.

It shouldn’t be easy to be amazing.
Then everything would be.
It’s the things you fight for and struggle ,
with before earning that have the greatest worth.
When something’s difficult to come by,
you’ll do that much more,
to make sure it’s even harder – or impossible – to lose. -
