The meaning of life, why are we here? This question can get answered in so many different ways I won't even begin to name them. To me the so called "meaning of life" is about living life to the fullest, seizing every crazy opportunity that life presents to you. You only get one life so why spend it doing anything but living a life you are proud of, a life you won't regret.
I'm sitting outside writing this enjoying a beautiful cotton candy sunset wondering what I plan to do with my life and why my dinner looks like a five year olds plate. (You only live once so why not eat cucumber sticks and dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets.) Life is not suppose to be fancy and full of endless adventures, it's about having friends you can laugh with and cry with. Surrounding yourself with the dreamers, the risk takers, the thinkers, the people who will push you to become the best version of you. Life can be hard, it can suck at times. I'm learning that the hard way unfortunately, but whats an easy life? My thoughts on an easy life, is a life wasted. Without trials would we ever grow, without heartbreak would we know true love, what about happiness without sadness? Hard times help you know when you are in the good ones. You can't see the stars without the darkness and so many people are scared of the dark, simply because of the unknown it brings. But the way I look at it, without the darkness there is no beauty, no love, no realizing how blessed you truly are. In a sense, no reality check, sometimes you have to lose something to find something better.
So I challenge you to this- Next time things aren't going the way you had hoped, or you're just feeling down on yourself, remember that sometimes you have to break before you can glow. Just like a glow stick.
Never give up because you are here for a reason, one that will blow your mind. You are meant for great things, we all are. The world sometimes gets hold of us and fills our minds with horrible thoughts of ourselves that aren't even a tiny bit true. But for some reason we let them live with us haunting us day and night. I don't know about you guys, but something happens at night and I can't stop these thoughts, they thrive in the darkness. Maybe that's why we are scared of the dark because with it, it brings bad thoughts, your worst fears, nightmares you can't forget. Darkness rules the night, but so do the stars with their beauty and light. Next time you feel surrounded by the darkness, so sad you can't do anything, remember that the stars only come out in the darkness. You may not be able to see them because they are covered up, but they are still there shining bright. We are all beautiful humans trying our best to figure out who we are and our individuality in a world where we are told to be unique and laughed at for being different. Never let this world get you so down you give up, you can't let the darkness win.
So maybe that's the meaning of life, finding your footing enough to stand up for who you are as a person. Not shying away from a challenge, having the courage to be bold, get laughed at, but still be soft and sweet on the inside. Maybe, just maybe the true meaning of life is living in a cruel, hard world and staying soft, giving love, showing people that there is still good in this world. No matter what the "true" meaning of life is I would like to think is has something to do with learning how to love and love without strings.
I hope after reading this it gives you the courage to do something crazy, something you weren't brave enough to do before. Always remember that I believe in you, the world is at your fingertips as soon as you find the courage to grasp it. You have alway had it in you to do the impossible, so keep your chin up and do great things.
love you a lottle,
Annaliese~
