I’ve learned that people, inevitably, can be cruel. And will make fun of you. They will make you feel worthless, and naïve, and stupid. If you manage to stay kind, and you’re still able to walk with a smile, then who’s the real fool? You’ve won the battle.
I’ve learned that girls don’t always say “I’m ugly” to get attention. Seriously, guys, they believe it. And they want you to know it on their terms, rather than have you think it about them behind their back. They’re not trying to fish for compliments, but you should give them anyway.
I’ve learned you can run from your fears (believe me, I’ve tried). You’re going to be scared sometimes. It happens. Everyone’s afraid of something. If everyone let fear get in the way of what they really wanted to do, there would be no one to tell us about what’s really worth living for. C’mon, do you think Evil Kinevil would have let fear stop him? Obviously not. Never be afraid to at least TRY. Trying itself is the biggest step, after that, all you have left to say is that you’re fearless.
I’ve learned that playing with a child for a whole day will make you appreciate things a little bit more then you did yesterday. The feeling of running into the wind, or just letting the sun hit your face. Getting a scrape (and if you’re lucky, two), bumping your head, rolling in dirt, laughing for nothing. It’s all carefree, something we all wish we could be again, and we freely gave away the moment we became adults. I’ve learned that we shouldn’t be sad about not being a kid anymore. Times like those spent with children are just as good.
I’ve learned it’s okay to love someone else, even if you’re not in love with someone you’d thought you’d be forever. You’re meant to be with someone, and they will find you. Right now, you’re looking for them, and they’re looking for you. Kind of an easing thought, right? Relax. Odds are if you haven’t found anybody, you’re either a.) young, and will find someone, or b.) Older but just haven’t found the right person. Trust me, they’re around. 7 billion people on the planet, just take your pick!
I’ve learned it’s okay not to be okay. You’re having a rough day, and sometimes the only person to make you feel better, is you. Whether it be taking an hour to yourself to paint or treating yourself to your favourite latte. These little things we do remind us that it won’t be bad forever, because we have these things that make us happy. Happy > sad.
I guess I’ve learned a lot of things…
Notice how none of those were ever taught in the classroom.
I’m just one of many University students, sitting on campus, waiting for my friend to come sit with me. He’s at home, and to my luck I’m stuck here all day, with far too many breaks to pass the time.
I’m someone with a lot of thoughts. Someone who sometimes has too many, so I’m here to share them with you. Maybe you can help me take a load off.
