We'Re All Awkward

When I woke up this morning, I didn't expect anything from anyone but what I received was far greater than any gift I could be given. I received life, the drive to live and survive knowing that my happiness isn't all that matters and making somebody else smile is just as valuable as a secret smile or a silent giggle to myself. Life's not all about being your best or looking your best, sometimes it's about your weakness, about letting go of the idea that you have to fit into some cookie cutter mold that you make for yourself. Sometimes, life is about being yourself, waking up in the morning with your hair sticking up, your eyes crusted shut and loving who you are despite what the decrepit mirror may try to tell you. Something which is equally as valuable as all of these things is the ability to love someone else despite all of their dank defects as well.
