Nobody ever told me limited life is; live like you're dying, love like it's your first, laugh like it's your last.

Nobody ever told me how music is an output for pain, for hurt. Music doesn't hurt, music heals. Music doesn't harm, music calms.

Nobody ever told me that it's okay to say goodbye. Someitmes goodbye is the best hello to a new corner in your life.

Nobody ever told me to keep my distance. The horrible habit of clinging to unhealthy addictions have gotten me in the trouble I needed to deal with.

Nobody ever told me that how people talk is how I shall become; the people I surround myself with describes what I wish to be, or what I already am.

Nobody ever told me that life is both long and short. I must live life to the fullest, and make sure that I never regret not taking a risk and becoming just "average".

Nobody ever told me that smiling out of fear is not a solution; it creates another problem. Smiling out of happiness, I learned, is the only true way you should smile. 

Nobody ever told me that love will show its bright face in the darkest of times, and that I must cherish what I have, for I won't miss what I have until it is forever gone.

Nobody ever told me that the stars are the best punching bag, that the hateful words flowing out of my mouth should only be aimed at them, and not at one person. They listen, yet they do not care. 

Nobody told me that coffee would be my early mrning savior, allowing the energy to quickly flow into my body that I would need most dearly as I woke up.

Nobody ever told me that our bodies would soon fade, but our minds would be the true realization of how far we've come in our long lives.

Nobody told me anything, but I prefer I found those harsh facts myself, as I wouldn't be who I was today without doing so.
