You can shut a book
and forget it for the rest of your life.
You can turn off a movie,
and never remember it again.
But you cannot stop your life,
no matter how hard you try.
You cannot press pause on a remote
to stop the demons from attacking.
You cannot rewind your life either,
so make the most of it as you can.
You cannot stop in the middle of your life
and give up, just like that.
You cannot wait for something
to change your life,
or make you happy again.

But what you can do
is so much more.
You can use the lemons life gives you
to **** the meaning out of it
and feel every emotion possible
and experience every feeling you can.
You can turn your life around
into something great.
All you gotta do
is try.
