"This is Life..."

When I was born...
No one told me
The world is beautiful
There will be trees and mountains.

When I grew up...
No one told me
The road is long
There will be potholes and bumps.

When I fell in love...
No one told me
The feeling is warm
There will be happiness and heartbreak.

When I got older...
No one told me
The mind is wiser
There will be joy and hardships

But one one thing
I can tell you...
Maturity comes from all these experiences
Everything happens for a reason.

Remember,
Don't be afraid
Be strong when facing obstacles
Be wiser when making decisions
Because sometimes we only get one chance
A chance which will decide the course to be set

So,
Live your dreams
Live your life to the fullest
and
Love like there's no tomorrow.

After all...

This is YOU.

It's YOUR life.

an ~ growing up is tough. mine was rough but it teaches me a lot. it has brought me where i am today. i may not have the privilege like some does, but i'm forever grateful for whatever i have now. most of all, i've become stronger and wiser.
