Day 59-67 (2/28-3/8/14) This Is What You Don't Do

"Don't let this world make you bitter. Don't let the actions of other people turn you cold on the inside. Certain things happen that hurt us, people come that leave us, and most of all there are moments when you're bound to fall. Don't let those things make you unkind. It's okay to cry. It's okay to be sad. But it's never okay to do other people wrong just because you were done wrong. We're human. We break. We make mistakes. But don't let pain and sadness run your lives. Wake up in the morning and do what you think is right. There are moments in your life where you feel like giving up and you can't take it anymore. It's okay. Breathe. Inhale. Exhale. I know you're weak. But the things that show your weak side are also the same ones that make you stronger in the long run. It's all about taking whatever life throws at you and learning from it."  ~HpLyrikz.com

Hello my beautiful dreamers! I saw that post on tumblr and decided it would be great to share with all of you...

There is a girl at my school who used to be what most would consider a "loser." She wasn't to me though, she was my friend, and we got along very well. Fast foward two years, she began dieting and wearing make-up to cover her "flaws." Soon she got a boyfriend, broke up with him, got another one, broke up with him, got another one, and on and on and on. She became popular practically overnight, and she has never been the same since. Now, you can find her in the hallways making fun of and ridiculing other girls who were just like her. Calling them ugly or making fun of their clothes. It saddens me because I knew her before she was popular, and I knew how hard she cried and fought against the hate she received form other people. I expected her to get to the top and stand up for other people who are in her position, but no. She took the other path.

Please don't do this. Don't let your past pain, sadness, and turmoil run your life. Don't let your past control your actions towards other people. Don't make it your goal in life to do others wrong just because you were wronged. Just don't....

Instead, stand up for what's right. Find strength in the things that once made you weak. Inspire others with your ability to overcome obstacles, no matter how big or small. And most importantly, let your past just be a story. A story that can inspire, stengthen, and enlighten others. A story that you have control over. A story that you have the power to write the perfect ending to.

I know what it feels like ok? To just want to give up. Don't. Leave your past in the past. I'm right beside you, and we can do it. I promise.

keep dreaming<33
