Social media: The end to life as we know it

Acting your age is bullshit

When someone says to you “grow up” or “act your age”, what you should feel is that this person has a firm grasp on how to speak in useless sentiments. There is no correlation between age and how one should act, because age isn’t something to act like. Age is merely a way to quantify how many years you have spent on Earth, not how many experiences you have had on it. Ages are not milestones or benchmarks. Milestones are milestones, and benchmarks are benchmarks. You are the way you are because of your experiences, not how long you have been around.

Life is as good as you believe it to be.

Life hits hard

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody.
