It's important that you live your life for yourself.
It is important that you
Make decisions for you.
Breathe the oxygen for you.
Can laugh for yourself and with yourself.
Organize your time the way you'd like it to be.
Be alone with you.
Do things that matter to you.
You're free.
It's wrong to live your life for someone else. Making your luck dependent on someone.
You know that.
It's wrong because that's not the purpose of your life. Shouldn't be.
But you're doing it anyway.
We serve a half-full glass to our counterpart. Half full of our luck.
And we let them decide. Keep refilling the glass. Or drink it out.
We'll give them a choice. Give them a free hand.
Why?
If you have a great flower, it is ultimately up to you to water it or not.
We do not buy a beautiful plant for our home and leave its happiness to others.
So why are we doing this with our luck?
Learn to say no.
It's your flower. You nurtured them, watered them, looked after them. No one has the right to pick them.
No one but you knows how much water it needs without drying up and without drowning.
No one but you knows how much sun it takes to grow without burning.
No one but you.
So take care of her as it needs it.
Live by yourself, from a glass of water. You only have this one.
You can take a sip if you need one. And when you've had enough, you refill it.
It's not important that your glass is always full. It doesn't even matter if it's half full.
Your glass can also be half-empty.
The important thing is that it contains something. You pay attention to that. You should.
But other people don't pay attention to it.
They drink when they're thirsty.
Toss it over by mistake.
Drop it.
Break it.
People are selfish. They take what they are given. Without mindfulness. Only for their benefit.
That's what they'll do with your luck. If you put it in their hands.
So keep it to yourself.
And learn to be careful.
Learn to take responsibility for your own happiness.
Water the flower. Fill your glass. You're not getting another chance.

Plucky Thoughtfullness
PoetryIn the world we live in, thoughts get lost. Not because they want to disappear, but because we're too afraid to think them. Some are naughty, some forbidden, some simply unwanted. We don't want to think them. We can't. We don't have the time to. We'...
