Life

Life.
A long line of disappointments that ends in death,
or at least that is what it is said to be.

But what is it really?

Life is what you want it to be,
the only catch is...
everything you do,
everything you say,
has an impact on what your life turns out to be.

Whether you like it or not,
there is a consequence for every action that you take.
Some are good,
yet, some are bad.
That depends on you.

“Life gives you lemons, so make lemonade.”
The most commonly used quotation...
when you want to tell someone that they need to make the best of what they have.
However, what some people don't understand
is that there are people who don’t know how to make lemonade.
Those people may not believe that they have enough ‘lemons’ to make lemonade,
so they just don’t even try.
They do not think they have the right ‘stuff’ to make it and,
they see life as, well,
as a long line of disappointments that ends in death.

There is more to life than the sadness and despair,
there is love, happiness, and so much more.
All we have to do is look for it.
