Foster optimism in the realest sense
What could be versus what will be come together and make friends.

.

If the world was meant to be friendly, humans wouldn't exist
See the good and the bad in both safety and risks.

.

Your friends will exalt you for who you aren't
Your enemies will curse you for who you are
You will learn to love who you want to be
And to be that person, a mix is key.

.

Of all the things you care about, none of it matters
Of all the things that matter, you care for none
The former leads to a bad disposition
And apathy is born from the latter.

.

You listen so as to reply
Reply, expecting to be heard
If you listen to listen alone
You'll find more meaning in a word.

.

To give to all is to find and receive nothing
To give to none is to love and be loved by no one
Find the things in life you crave to be loved by
And build them up but ask nothing from.
I thought I'd post some thoughts here because I was in a thoughtful mood. Feel free to tap a chime after each one.
