What It's All About by Onapz_grrr
Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many friends you have.
Not about if you have plans this weekend or if
you're alone.
It isn't about who you're dating, who you used to
date,
how many people you've dated,
or if you haven't been with anyone at all.
It isn't about who you have kissed, it's not about
sex.
It isn't about who your family is or how much
money they have.
Or what kind of car you drive.
Or where you went to school.
It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have
on,
or what kind of music you listen to.
It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or
brown.
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.
Not about what grades you get, how smart you are,
how smart everybody else thinks you are,
or how smart standardized tests say you are.
It's not about what clubs you're in or how good you
are at "your" sport.
It's not about representing your whole being on a
piece of paper
and seeing who will "accept the written you."
But, life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or unhappy
purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship, used as a sanctity or a
weapon.
It's about what you mean and say, maybe hurtful,
maybe heartening.
About starting rumors and contributing to petty
gossip.
It's about what judgments you pass and why.
And who your judgments are spread to.
It's about who you've ignored with full control and
intention.
It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate or love, letting it grow,
and spreading it.
But most of all, it's about using your life to touch or
poison other people's
hearts in such a way that could have never
occurred alone. Only you choose the way those
hearts are affected, and those choices are what
life's all about.
