Will Not

I will not sit so high and pretend that my life has been thrown in the dirt.
I will not allow single misfortunes to push me into a pool of self-pity in which to swim,
wallowing in my sorry story.
when life deals me a bad hand I will not let it ruin the game.
fold and try again next round - I don't know how to play cards anyway.
I'm dancing my way through on luck and instinct, nobody taught me the rules.

I will allow life to teach me but I will not use the knowledge I gain to put myself on some higher level.

I will not use my awareness of the world's pain and hardship to prevent them for myself, nor my awareness of its beauty and joy to seek them for myself. I will experience what fate has planned for me fully. I won't enjoy everything but I'll try. I will make the most of whatever destiny has in store for me.

Not everything happens for a reason, but you can give reason to everything that happens

everything depends on the circumstances

and in the end, the meaning of life is what you make of it.

those are my philosophies and I will live by them.

surfing the sea of life.
you're welcome to join me,
please do.

it probably won't be amazing all the time,
but if we don't let the bad stuff get to us
it might be, enough.

are you happy?
will you tell me honestly?
