1. The world is so beautiful

I think sometimes we forget that time isn’t limitless. We forget that the days are going by and we are missing things because we think there will always be another day to see them. We often don’t take the time to really take in just how beautiful our world is and what it has to offer. Even on its rainy and gloomy days, it is beautiful. Even when there is devastation or tragedy, something beautiful will come from it. We spend so much time focusing on what we want to do and looking at pictures of all the places we would love to go to. Let’s start exploring the places we want to go and doing the things we want to do because it is so much more striking when you see it in person.

2. Someone has to be the light

In a time where darkness seems to be the only thing we see nowadays, we need the lights. We live in a world where going to school or going to a concert have become scary places instead of joyous places. And while that does make us afraid and on edge, we have to push through and realize that if we don’t continue to live our lives, the darkness will take over. We have to come together and take control of our lives and the people around us. It is on us to live every day in hope and gratitude rather than fear. Let’s be the lights in the dark days and let’s continue to make the good days outshine the bad.

3. Because there’s no other way to truly live

I think the presence of social media has deterred many people from living the life they dream about because the photos and videos make it seem so unrealistic. We go through life comparing ourselves to the pictures and the personas so many of these people put on. It makes us not want to live our lives because we think it can never compare to those that “have more” than we do. One thing no one can have more of than you is the will to do and the will do see all that you want. Everyone is entitled to live the life they choose and if we don’t start actually living it, the days will continue to go by and things will continue to happen because until we take control of our lives, someone or something else will. Let’s go out there and make the world ours. After all, it doesn’t belong to one, single person anyway.

Let’s take the power we have today and make it change the tomorrows. No one can live our lives for us and no one can make us do the things we want to do. It’s on us, and isn’t that the most special thing?
