Embrace the Unconventional
It’s a new era, try to live a contrary life.
Be the person that comes in through exits and leaves through entrances.
It’s okay to be a little different sometimes.
When ‘no’ is all you hear, be the ‘yes’ person.
If Nike is the trend, rock your Reebok,
Life is too short to always follow the leader.
Have a little fun, love the world.
Love more, especially those who don’t deserve it.
Laugh and be joyful though you have considered the facts.
Live a little, chant incantation to try bring life to death,
But beware the ability for backfire if any word is wrongly pronounced.
Love the moments you're in, even if it’s not the best.
Make the best you can of it.
Don’t hold grudges, it does you no good.
Forgive and forget, learn to let go.
What hurts you today, makes you stronger tomorrow.
You have to forget the past for it only brings sorrow.
Keep a smile and your head high,
Worrying won’t change the outcome.
Make a place to sit down,
Sit down. Be Quiet.
Speak your mind, let out the thing you’ve been thinking of.
Play your favorite music. Let the breeze in by opening the window.
Breathe in the fresh air, let the heavy burden go.
The pain you are feeling does not compare to the joy that comes.
