open {your eyes}















"what you say and how you look does not define who you are, because some of the most beautiful people do the ugliest things. you owe something to the people who hate you, who disrespect you and who put you down. because they are the ones who have made you who you are today; for keeping your head up and not breaking down when they want you to."

and these same people either brag or throw themselves a pity party the majority of the time.
and it's sad. i think you need to take a hard look at something::

because i encounter people on a daily basis that are SO much worse off than the teenagers or college kids that only think their situation is absolutely terrible.

open your eyes.
go to a hospital or homeless shelter or oncology unit and realize how good you have it.
listen to a true story that will make you think twice.


because being too sheltered can be detrimental,
