Crossroads

I've learned a lot of things in my life.

Now, I haven't lived a long time, but I've gained a lot, all the same.

Sure, I've learned things like math and how to use my grammar properly,

But the things I've learned that are most important

Can't be taught by any teacher in any classroom.

See, what I learned is that life stops for no one.

You'll experience things in your life that will tear you down.

But you can't let that hold you back.

Experience everything.

Get too drunk one night, fall for the wrong person, lose something important to you.

Take the bad with the good, because too often,

Life's greatest lessons come with a negative experience.

Live.

Because life stops for no one.
