" Laugh, even when you feel too sick
or too worn out or tired.
Smile, even when you're trying not
to cry and the tears are blurring
your vision.
Sing, even when people stare at you
and tell you your voice is crappy.
Trust, even when your heart begs
you not to.
Twirl, even when your mind makes
no sense of what you see.
Frolick, even when you are made
fun of. Kiss, even when others are
watching. Sleep, even when you're
afraid of what the dreams might
bring.
Run, even when it feels like you
can't run any more.
And, always, remember, even when
the memories pinch your heart.
Because the pain of all your
experience is what makes you the
person you are now. And without
your experience---you are an empty
page, a blank notebook, a missing
lyric. What makes you brave is your
willingness to live through your
terrible life and hold your head up
high the next day. So don't live life
in fear. Because you are stronger
now, after all the crap has
happened, than you ever were back
before it started..."
