Life.

Life isn't about keeping score. 

It's not about how many people call you 

and it's not about who you've dated, 

are dating, 

or haven't dated at all. 

It isn't about who you've kissed, what sport you play, 

or which girl or guy likes you.

It's not about your shoes 

or your hair 

or the color of your skin 

or where you live 

or go to school. 

In fact, it's not about grades, money, clothes, 

or colleges that accept you.

Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, 

and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are.

Life just isn't about that. 

But life…

It is about who you love and who you hurt. 

It's about how you feel about yourself. 

It's about trust, happiness, and compassion. 

It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. 

Life is about 

avoiding jealousy, 

overcoming ignorance, 

and building confidence. 

It's about what you say and what you mean. 

It's about seeing people for who they are and not what they have.

Most of all, it's about choosing to use your life 

to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. 

…these choices are what life's about.
