When I was younger, I believed that, by the time you're old, you would've had thousands of stories and experiences to tell to your grandchildren and children. But, sometimes, the world doesn't work that way.
Some people aren't fortune enough to go places and create memories. Some people just live in one place their whole lives and die there. Some people will never experience love. Some people won't have children. Some people can't have children. And that's sad. We pity them, because they're alive for nothing. But, we have to make the best out of it. We have to show the world that we don't care if we're alone, we're happy no matter what. My grandmother always said, "Plan for the worst and hope for the best." No matter where you end up in life, you have to be happy. I believe that life is like the ocean. The boats are people, and the ocean is your life. Sometimes you don't have boats (people) in your ocean (life). And sometimes your ocean is filled with boats. The larger the boat, the bigger impact they have on your ocean. And sometimes the tide is high, and sometimes the tide is low. The tide represents your mood. I probably sound completely crazy, but oh well! You do what you want to do with your life. Not what someone else wants you to do. You are in control, and sometimes you just have to cruise. You are unique and have dreams that you have to chase. Whether you reach your dream, or not. You have to be happy. Dreams will be crushed, and people will disappear. But, the happier you are, the stronger you will be.
Life is an ocean.
I don't know if I believe that the happier you are, the stronger you will be. You can be strong and be content. I have a personality disorder called Schizotypal Personality Disorder and because of it I don't feel strong emotions, the good or the bad. I think it's life experiences and how you deal with them that make you stronger.
ReplyDeleteThat's true. But I still do believe that you will me mentally stronger if you are happy. Sometimes it's hard for me to have life experiences because I'm always in shock. Doctors don't know what's wrong with me, and it makes me have a stronger connection with my emotions. I've talked to my friends about this, and some people have the same problems. Maybe it's the water up here…haha. But that's what I believe.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't have said this better myself, lovely xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, that makes me happy! :D
ReplyDeleteBrilliant metaphor. It certainly is whether it's calm waters or tsunamis, cruising or forceful navigation.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The ocean is a crazy place, though.
