Literally, How To Survive.

Chapter 4 : Miracle Agitator

I remember in seventh grade there was a kid who was quite obnoxious. In all seriousness, he ended up becoming my friend, but that's not the point. The point is, this kid was irritating as hell, but he managed to get a girlfriend and make tons of friends. See, I understood none of this, because I personally believe I'm a decent looking human being with a splendid personality. I had no boyfriend, and four friends who weren't even close to me.

Then I realized - I was isolated, awkward, quiet, slightly hostile, and everyone assumed I had some form of mental retardation or something. He was outgoing, fun, kind, and had great hair. I just didn't like him because he was a version of myself I really wanted to be. I knew I could be better, but I didn't do anything to reach that level within myself.
I finally decided to change my ways, be kinder, more open minded and lighthearted. I learned to love with all my heart and care for everyone and everything around me, whether I didn't like them or they didn't like me. I opened the blinds blocking the light to overthrow the darkness of what once was my cold, hard and distant self. I grew to love people for all they are worth, and live in the moment.

I know, Piper - this is just rambling.
It's not just rambling, it's important information.

This boy showed me how to open myself up and make myself more accessible to those around me who had reached out to me though I continuously rejected them. I grabbed every outstretched hand, and I haven't let go of a single one. If you would just open your eyes and understand that life is too short to be stuck in one moment, one accident, one mistake. I guarentee you, in ten years, that girl who called you ugly and broke your toe - you won't remember her name or what happened.
Life goes on.

Don't overthink the past, live in the present, and await the future.
