everyone’s heard the whole “life is like a roller coaster” phrase. but honestly guys, it’s not.
life’s like a swing.
we have our ups, and we have our downs. we have those times when everything is perfect, we feel as if we’re the luckiest, happiest people on earth, and things couldn’t be any better. and then we have those times where we’re down in the pits, we need to escape, and things feel as if they’re at an all time low.
but it’s not just black and white like that.
take our down times for a minute—we’re at the very bottom of the swing. yet no matter how bad that is, we know that in time, we will be back at the top. however, if we stop at the bottom, and sit still, we won’t get anywhere. you’re not gonna get in the air on a swing without help. you either need to get a little push from someone else, or kick your legs a little bit to get back to where you want to be. sometimes it might take a while, but you’ll still get higher, in time. this is a lot like life. you can’t just stay down and expect everything to get better. you have to accept the help that you can get, and give it a little bit of effort.
also, take the high parts of our life. when you’re on a swing, you’re going fast, and high. you’re up at the top, and everything’s wonderful. yet for a split second, you get so high that the chains slack the least little bit, and fear runs through you. just like life. no matter how happy, content, or satisfied we are, there’s always that fear, that worry, that doubt, inside of us saying “what if”. what if we fell. what if we crashed down. what if everything just went wrong. but we have to be able to accept it.
so it’s your choice. either stay down, at the bottom, and don’t make an attempt to feel any better. or you can give it a go, get a push and give it all you’ve got, and get swinging again. get higher and higher until you’re on top of the world. you can swing just in the middle, and have things mediocre. never have to feel the slack of the chains because you never let yourself get high enough to feel that, but know you have things going. or you can swing up, as far as you want, until you’re above anything you could’ve dreamed of. you’ll feel the slack, and be scared once in a while, but you’ll know it’s all worth it.
but it’s your choice. you’re in charge of your swingset, so make it what you can.
Quote reblogged from The Story of Two Letters with 145 notes
The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That’s the only lasting thing you can create.

No matter how careful you are, there’s going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn’t experience it all. There’s that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should’ve been paying attention.

I want to do things that inspire people, and I want to leave a positive impact, and leave a mark. I want to give people a reason to want to live, and to be happy, and to smile, and to laugh. I want to give people hope, and I want them to believe they are invincible, and convince them to be infinite. I want to them to live their dreams. I want to give them faith. I want to show them that things can change. I want to save the world.
And that’s what I’m going to do with my life.

“Compassion is the greatest form of love that humans have to offer. According to Websters dictionary, compassion means a feeling of sympathy for another person’s misfortune. My definition of compassion is forgiving, loving, helping, leading, and showing mercy for others. I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go.”

The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.

To Whom It May Concern;
♥You are fucking beautiful, ok?
Everyone is guilty of fears and insecurities. Some people’s are worse than others. But what you need to realize is, that if you have love and care for anything, something that brings you happiness and joy, then you have some of the most beautiful things in this entire world that a lot of people would kill to have. And it lives inside you, in your hopes, dreams, memories, buried deep inside your heart. You have to be grateful for it, and let it bloom. Things can transform so amazingly if you let them, and help them do so. If you look at the bright side of things, and don’t take any positive aspect of your life for granted, then your life will be better than it seems. If everything seems to be going wrong for you, then you can’t let it break you, or keep you down. Just know that you actually have things in life, and they may be small things, but they are worth it. Even if you don’t realize it, or think about it enough, or even acknowledge that you have it at all. You have people that care about you, and that love you dearly, and would do anything in their capability to make sure that you are happy. And you have to think about all around the world how many people have broken lives, that live in poverty, or out on the streets, with nothing and no one at all. They would kill to be in your position. All around us people live in homeless shelters, under bridges, in alleys, in abandoned buildings, living each day in fear of their lives and sanity. People are locked in prisons for years or life because they didn’t have someone that cared about them enough to make sure that they never had to do anything to resort to doing things that would cause them to be in the situation that they are in. Numerous people take their lives each and every day because they don’t feel like anything in their life is worth living through anymore, because they are taking the small things that they have for granted. Don’t ever take anything for granted, and don’t live your life in regret, because everything happens for a reason. Pain will make you stronger.
If you have the ability to make somebody smile, or make them happy, or make them laugh, or any other good thing. Cherish it. You have a gift. And people that don’t have that ability need someone like you in their life. Even if you don’t realize it, someone looks up to you. Maybe even more than one person. Because they admire the qualities and traits that you carry as a human being. And its precious. You should respect and appreciate that you have someone that things highly of you, and admires you for who you are, and not just what you are on the outside. Because, face it, a lot of people are shallow, and they judge by looks, because they don’t know that the real beauty is what lies beneath. Beauty isn’t only skin deep. If you have just one hope, ambition, or dream, or even an idea of how to make a difference in someones lives. Then you are a beautiful person. If you smile at just some random person and if they see you do it, you may have just made their day. And thats beautiful. If you say “Hi” to some random stranger that you have never seen before, and may never see again, and they smile at you and say it back, then you may have just made their day. And thats beautiful. If you buy something at the store and you leave just one little penny in whatever donation thing that they may have, even though its just a penny and its not worth that much to you, it still helped go towards something that someone obviously didn’t have, and you made some kind of difference, a little one, but a difference nonetheless, and thats beautiful too.
Beauty isn’t only skin deep, ok. Don’t take what’s on the inside for granted just because you don’t like whats on the outside.
