This is for you

Instead of thinking about the bad things in life, think about the good. Here is a list of stuff that helps me get through life even when I'm down. They are simple things, but even the simplest of joys can bring a man the greatest of pleasures.

1. When you see a dog and call them "puppers" even when they are an old doggo.

2. When it starts to rain, but you dont have an umbrella, so your hair plasters to your head and you feel the rain dripping down your neck and sending shivers down your spine.

3. Reading an older book that was checked out of the library, and seeing an old stain on it. (i know, gross right) but then thinking about how this book was so good to someone, that they couldn't even put it down to eat their pudding.

4. When you blow out a candle and see that tiny whisp of smoke.

5. When somebody by you drops all their stuff, and you have that momentary thought of "should i help him or not?" and you decide to help them anyways.

6. When your crush (or anyone you like, could be a freind, family member, etc.) compliments you on your outfit or the way you look, and you just cannot stop smiling. (this happened to me with my crush, so embarressing)

7. When you can wear a blanket or Not wear a blanket because it is just the perfect temperature to wear anything you want and still feel perfectly fine.

8. When you have that one pen that just glides across the paper with the smoothest ink, and your all just mhmmmmmmmmm.

9. When you finally find a clear place where you can look up and see more stars than ever before, and it just takes your breath away.

10. When you see a wild animal as your walking around, and you just stop and stare at it as it stops and stares at you.

11. Stepping outside in the morning and seeing your breath puff in the air and pretending that you are a dragon that breaths steam instead of fire.

12. Looking outside when the leaves are changing and seeing all of the different colors and thinking, "Huh, maybe I CAN paint with all the colors of the wind"

13. Being able to read stuff like this.

I know that life is tough sometimes, and I am not going to tell you it isnt. Life can be terrible, full of heartache and fear. But what starts the heartache in the first place? Having the ability to love. You don't need to love all of life itself, just the little things can get you by. Remember, "You are what you love, not who loves you" -Fall Out Boy. This quote helped me out in my time of need, I hope that it can help you as well. Don't look down, because even though I have never met you, I still believe in you. Never give up. : )
