Life

Life is a very complicated thing. We all have our thoughts, and opinions. We all feel things, sometimes the same way about different things, sometimes differently about the same thing. Some of us are able to share our emotions freely and openly, others not so much. I dream more than I live and that will become problematic later on, I'm sure. When I feel something, it shows all over me and the whole world can tell. When something bad happens I almost can't process it as real. It's like there's a part of my brain that can't realistically process serious issues. I've recently discovered laughter is my stress response, followed closely by panic. Fortunately I've rarely had to experience anything really bad, but that's just the thing. We can never tell what life is going to throw at us and when and how. It's as though we've always got to be prepared for something, just in case. Now me, I'm young, still in high school. I've got a long life ahead of me, and I've got big plans with what to do with it. This year has been a real growth year for me, and I've learned to look at the world as glass-half-full instead of half-empty. It's much more relaxing not to be constantly worrying. It's such a simple concept, relax and smell the roses, and it seems to be one of the hardest ones for people to really grasp. Either way, here's today's philosophy: Live today, Worry tomorrow.
