Yellow Brick Road To Life

Life doesnt come with intructions,
so it hard to understand what we are surposed to do,
but as we grow up we learn new things,

That the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down probably will,
You'll have a few heart broken and you'll break others peoples hearts,
You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them,
and you'll just sit there and cry whilst watching the days flying by,

So take as many pictures to capture every special moment, laugh so much that hurts inside, smile no matter what the out come it and love like you've never been hurt,

Life comes with no promises, no pauses, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest,

Tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off,
dance in the pouring rain,
hold someone's hand,
fall asleep watching the sun come up,
stay up late, and smile until your face hurts,

Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love you only have one shot at life,
so just live in the moment,
because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back,

In the end, life doesnt matter about how many breaths you take,
its how many moments took your breath away, that matters the most.
