Love your life, it's the only you have...

This is a message to everyone, but especially my younger friends.
Promise me that you will never grow up! Ok, I know that might be an impossible promise to make, and if it is then please just don't lose sight of what is important to you right now. Sometimes, in very sad situations, people grow up and become complete "tools." Innocence is shot and you are no longer an adorable kind hearted person. Simple things that used to make you happy slowly fade away. Your imagination dies and you become a slave to routine. Don't get me wrong, I am not talking about the good kind of routine.The organized well balanced fun loving people who have routines that work for them, that's wonderful. Just don't get sucked into the drama and the bull-shit that comes along with being an adult. As much drama as you feel now, it will only double from now on. Things will become harder, more stressful. You will be overcome with anxiety and depression when you can't make ends meet or you have an important deadline or you have to answer to someone who makes you feel like you are beneath them. Do not become jaded and shallow just because you feel like you have to, to fit in. Being human is a wonderful gift if you treat it that way. Surround yourself with people who love and care for you. Eliminate those who put you down and make you feel like you don't deserve happiness. Always be as kind as you can because there are a lot of people in this world that will show you the same kindness and it will open your eyes to a whole new way of living. Never forget to love. Love your friends, love your family, love your lovers. Find something that you are passionate about and hold on to that like it's the only thing you have left. Keep your imagination flowing, never let that die. Try and imagine things so colorful and beautiful and happy that it almost has to be child-like. Take this world one step at a time, if you go to fast, you will lose yourself along the way. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't do something, that you will never be good enough. Most of all, don't forget about one of the only things that no one can take away from you, your opinions and your free-thinking. People will try, they will argue and tell you that you are wrong and they are right, but if you hold to you beliefs and your opinions then that's exactly what they are, they are yours. The only way you can lose them is if you give them away. Fall in love as much as possible. It's painful but it's so beautiful and it will teach you things that you could never learn in school or from a book. Every once and awhile, put down the books, get out of your house and go have experiences (good ones) Ones that will become fond memories. Love, passion, peace, friends, family, free-thinking and good memories will free you and allow you to keep a part of your young spirit and innocence forever. I wish everyone the best life you can possibly have.
p.s. I haven't slept in a very long time and my artist brain is going a little crazy right
now, but I do mean every word of this, I just hope it makes sense. :)
I love you all
