It’s a good life

I need to lose weight
I need to get better

It’s still a good life

You’ll never be good enough
You’ll never make it

It’s life

My life is lost
My life means little

It’s a good… Is it?

That girl doesn’t like, like you
That girl says your friends.. so, YOUR FRIENDS

It’s a long life

Ankles break
Ankles don’t always heal

It’s a tough life

People forget
People move on

It’s a cold life

Friends they come
Friends they go

It’s a backstabbing life

I don’t wanna leave
I cannot wait to get back

It’s a hurtful life

I feel empty
I feel like killing myself

It’s a ****** life

Someone helped
Someone loved

It’s a good life

It will always be a **** good life

So,
As you age
As you turn the page

Remember a few things,

Play the cards you were dealt best you can
Cause even aces get cracked
And you still won’t get them often

Always remember who was there
Never forget who wasn’t

Keep the good time close to your heart
Keep the bad ones closer
Because there is so much beauty in struggle
And without bad times, there’d be no good ones

What happens never defines you
How you react does
And you get what you give
So punch your own ticket

There is ALWAYS a light at the end of the tunnel
But you wont get there sitting on the platform

Never forget a friend
Because people are still good, trust me.

Your scars don’t always show
So make sure you and the people who care see them

Not everyone cares
Find the ones that do
And try to be the one who cares to others

Make everyday count
And always have something to look forward to
You’ll never remember a night you got enough sleep
So step out of your comfort zone. Try something new-  even though you’ll regret it sometimes

Life is full of small victories, everyday
Win the day
Don’t forget to reward yourself for them
You probably deserve it

You’ll find yourself being the little guy a lot
Embrace that
Use that to your advantage
They’ll never see you coming!

Try to laugh
And never take anything too serious
Life can be better that way sometimes

Your mind is as important as your matter
Be sure take care of both
Look up
But keep up

Things are cool
Cool people are cooler
And bad people are the worst
So listen to the good music
But never underestimate the power of conversation
Because people can help

While everyone’s world doesn’t revolve around you
Your mothers does, your dad’s usually does too

There are rough patches
And they always seem worse than the good ones seem good
But winter isn’t forever
And summer isn’t always what it cracks up to be
So find the beauty in both

No matter where you are in your life
There are good times to be had
Life has mysteries
Life has misery- (a lot of misery)
But tomorrow is a new day

If you keep calm, work hard and just do right
Life can be a **** good thing


It really is a good life
As I leave my teen heres, here is a reflection on my teens. It was a ride to say the least. I was on top i was on bottom and everywhere in-between. From failure in my early teens to depression, anxiety and an eating disorder, I learned a ton. I hope you enjoy my reflection on these tough, confusing and at times awesome years.
