Whats life all about...

something I found while bloghopping


Life isn't about keeping score...
It's not about how many friends you have.
Or how many people call you, or how accepted or unaccepted you are.
Not about if you have plans this weekend, or if you're alone.
It isn't about who you're dating, or who you used to date,
how many people you've dated, or if you haven't been with anyone at all.
It isn't about who your family is, or how much money they have.
Or what kind of car they drive.....

It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are.
Not about what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on,
or the kind of music you listen to....
It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, brown, or green.
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.

Its not about how good you are at "your" sport.
Not about what grades you get,
how smart you are, or how smart everyone else thinks you are.
Not the least about how smart “standardized tests” say you are.
It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper,
and seeing who will accept the “written you".

Life just ain’t about any of these.....

But life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship, used as sanctity, or as a weapon.
It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.
It's about what judgments you pass and why.
And who your judgments are spread to.

It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention.
It's about jealousy, fear, pain, ignorance, and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate and love,
letting it grow and spreading it.

But most of all,
it's about using your life to touch or poison other people's hearts
in such a way that could never have occurred alone....
Only you choose the way these hearts are affected,
and those choices are what life is all about....
