I really liked this. I was reading Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul and this one passage totally stuck out to me.. so i want to share.. really take this in... its by Katie Leicht..
Life isnt about keeping score. Its not about how many people call you and its not about who you've dated, are dating or haven't dated at all. It isnt about who youve kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. Its not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school. In fact, its not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isnt about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and its not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isnt about that.
But life is about who you love and who you hurt. Its about how you feel about yourself. Its about trust, happiness, and compassion. Its about sticking up for friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. Its about what you say and what you mean. Its about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all, its about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. These choices are what life's about.
