Now, by no means do I mean this to sound depressing. I'm just offering it forth as something to think about. Here are some basic rules of life, as borrowed from a good friend of mine and modified by yours truly.
In my experience, I've found these rules to be pretty easy to follow. Everyone slips up now and then and falls into feeling sorry for themselves or forgetting how lucky they are to have the life they have. I know I do. It's hard to be a daughter/son, sister/brother, friend, roommate, student, responsible citizen, hard-worker, lover and human being all at the same time, and still find time for yourself. And everyone gets hurt sometimes, but you have to be able to love and trust. With love and trust in your life - love of your family, your friends, whoever - you know you'll never be alone.
♥Everyone has something special to offer. And because of that, everyone has something to learn from someone else. Look around - at your friends, at your family, at the people you run into on the street - and think about what each of those people could teach you. I'll be the first to admit, it's hard to look at each situation and each person critically, without an prejudegments about them, and to open your mind and think, "What can this person show me about myself?" Sometimes you'll see in others what you dislike about yourself and you'll be able to change, and sometimes you'll see qualities in others of which you wish you had more.
It's for these reasons that you can't ever think you're better than anyone else. Each person is unique to their experiences. What is monumental to one person may be ridiculous to another, but it goes both ways. You always have something to learn.
Just as a disclaimer, I'm no philosophical genius, I'm just a 19-year old girl who's been thinking a lot about life lately and wants to put her thoughts into words, and this website, my first website, gives me the opportunity to do so.
