1) I give up. I GIVE UP. I give up trying to be something I’m not, something I don’t want to be, I give up trying to change something that is not up to me to change. I give up being empty, being void of emotions, of not looking people in the eyes, of not living in every moment. I give up lies. I give up cover-ups. I give up uncomfortable moments. I give up not being myself. If I want to be quiet, I want to be quiet. If I want to tell the truth, I want to tell the truth. If I don’t have anything to say, I give up not saying anything.
I give up GIVING UP. I give up not noticing the small things; I give up being ignorant. I give up my weaknesses and my insecurities and my negative thoughts and my judgments.
I WILL NOT, however, give up loving. Everything. Everyone. I will not give up my hope: my faith, my ambition. I will not give up my smiles, my seconds to past, my future to chance. I do not give up friendships. I do not give up on others. I will not give up what I am, who I am, or what I believe in. I will give you my artwork. I will also give you presents. I won’t give up giving. I won’t give up living. I will never ever not in a million years give up what you think I am about to give up. Because whatever you give up has to eventually come back down. So, in conclusion, I am.
2) .... ... there are two different types of people in this world. (but not only two)
people who do what they are SUPPOSED TO, and people who do what they WANT.
What's the difference, you ask? the people that do what they want end up being happy. The people who do what they are supposed to might have more money, might be more successful, hell, might even have direction and principles and ethics and schedules and parties and morals
but the people who do what they WANT know themselves. find their purpose. give what they can to the world- and hope it's enough. they listen to their soul, and do what they're passionate about.
Being yourself is different from being an 'individual'. You don't have to try to be unique if you know who you are. It comes naturally if you just listen to yourself.
most of the time, intuition is a lot more prolific and fulfilling than logic.
and if your neither of these people, and your not anything else either, and you're lost, a good place to start is to find those things that make you smile. Not on the outside, but on the inside. And do that. For the rest of your life. because you are the maker of your life, of the way you live. so why not be happy, if it's all up to you anyway?
that is all.
