and how can you take for granted the things you are entitled to by birth
as a human being, how can you take something so necessary as air for granted
it’s easy when you live a life of “I have the right to be here, this is no privilege”
but sweetie, one day you will realize that your life is not a right but rather it is in fact a privilege
you will understand that the world is not here to be taken advantage of
but rather to be enjoyed for what it is
and when that crazy hippie lady from the house next door tells you that some days you just gotta stop and smell the flowers, listen to her
and if the grumpy old man tells you that you can’t live your life so starry eyed
don’t let it ruin your spirit
I am telling you that life is not something you necessarily deserve
but something that you want
it’s something that has been handed to you in a giant box labeled “handle with care”
