i think i figured it out. nobody can have it all. to be blunt, it's true. you know how they say, oh, well, that perfect person is probably miserable?
think about it.
you can't look like Prince Eric, have the best friends ever, be wicked talented, enjoy a technical gap year, and feel really connected to all those best friends all the time.
you can't have an amazing boyfriend, be good at math, be cute, have a lead, and get into college.
you can't get into college, be good at math, have an amazing girlfriend, be amazing, and have the most basic part of your self be right.
you can't get into college, be an amazing writer, get 107s, have shiny hair, and express your devotion.
you can have sunshine and rain, pleasure and pain, poetry and photographs. you can cry or laugh.
optimism, like love, is a battlefield, or a shield, and you know that i don't fade (though i love grey). maybe i've been all wrong for years too long and only just now am coming to the conclusion of imperfection?
no, that isn't right. be thankful for what you do have? no, because sometimes it's almost impossible.
i don't know?
how's that for a life philosophy, shrug off possibility, dare to dance with chance, and when he steps on your feet, laugh it off. you know you can't win!
pick and choose, because i'm thinking, sometimes, you gotta lose.
just be ready? i don't know.

a) this is really really awesome and inspirational.
b) technical gap year? (unless there is someone else who looks like prince eric...).
god i wish i could.
or if i could exchange everything else for one thing.
this is comforting.
but you shouldn't because then i'd have everything and you'd have nothing and thus i'd be sad anyways. ):
