Questions

·    I’m sure most of us remember that as soon as we could talk, our parents and other adults were asking us stupid little questions like; “What color is this?” “What shape is this?” “What kind of animal is that?” “How many fingers am I holding up?” Never getting tired of asking. Always smiling and cooing when we get the answer right.

·    Then once we've learned our colors and shapes, we realize that now is a good time to start asking them all the really complicated questions about life; about everyone and everything. Just to get them back.

·    Then comes that super annoying time when the adults in our lives decide that we don’t know anything at all, and that they’re older so therefore they “just know better”.

·    Next is when all of the sudden they begin to ask us, “Why are you so lazy?” “When are you going to get a job?” “When are you getting your license?” “Where are you going to go to college?” “What are you going to do with your life?”

And lucky for us, that’s just about the time when our brain goes crazy and we’re trying to make all these intense inner decisions, and we ask ourselves, “What do I believe?” “How do I feel about this?” “Why am I here?” “What is my purpose?” “Who are my true friends?” “Why do I feel so alone?” “What do they think of me?” “Why is life so unfair?”

And by the way, when exactly did I sign up for this thing called “life”?

Because I would really like a refund!

Well if I've learned anything, it’s this:

§  That finding yourself only happens once you stop looking.

§  The answer to the universe is that you’re not supposed to know.

§  Don’t try and plan out your life; because life is forever changing.

§  Remember to let go of people who let go of you;

If someone is meant to be in your life, then they will make an effort to be.

§  Lose yourself in something you love; for there is a great deal of freedom in being lost.

§  Always trust yourself.

§  Always love yourself.

And last but not least:

§  Never, ever give up on your dreams; for they may often be your deepest fears, but they will always, always be your greatest companion.
