“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.”
