imo life is…..

In life we grow, experience, learn, heal, and become. It is our choice to be what kind of person we want to be and what we want to do to make the world a better place. Life is not something we have to figure out right away, but it grows with us for much of our lives. Throughout our lives, we lose friends and make new ones. We balance a social life, work, and self-care which is vital.  Being a human is an evolving experience, which allows us to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be one. I remember how fragile I was at the beginning, running around my neighborhood, carefree as could be, thinking nothing of what lies ahead. Growing up, however, brings about a sense of self-sufficiency. Life isn't easy. It's challenging, and it's easy to make mistakes too, but those mistakes can help us learn and grow, and sometimes they can even help us heal. We meet many people who are bizarre, indecisive, decisive, magical, sophisticated, weird, pretty, fake, smart, true, and that list goes on and on. There are people who enjoy baths more than showers, or people who prefer cats over dogs. Even people who have never tasted sushi. A major part of life is experiencing new cultures and environments, trying new things, and meeting new people. I believe that the most important thing to experience is love within a family, within your friends, and within your relationships. A feeling of sadness, happiness, excitement, or anger. You will experience liars, dishonest cheaters, and crazy situations you never imagined your younger self would experience. It is impossible to have a perfect life and while it's okay to take care of yourself and do what's best for you I also think you need to be mindful of other people's feelings. There's a difference between selfishness and selflessness in my mind. If you're feeling down, it's okay to take a day off or remove yourself from plans. However, I think blaming others for your own guilt when you're down is not okay. Being human isn't always fun, but it's cool to be here and to go through all these life experiences with each other, so we all need to remember that this is what life is like. As a community, we are all dealing with a lot of crap, but we are all trying our best to get through each day. The feelings you are experiencing are valid, and regardless of whether you believe this or not, everyone is rooting for you. Everyone is undergoing the same roller coaster of emotions, they just might be a little bit different. Every human being is unique we all feel differently we all think differently and we all experience differently but all of those feelings are the same as everyone else's at the end of the day so when you feel like you're not meant to be here or you don't know what to do with your life just remember we're all in this together and that doesn't last, so just embrace what you are experiencing and experience what being human is like.
