Valuable Life Lessons

I've got to withstand it as Anxiety and depression take turns 
It's okay to cry as long as I don't give up
I may aswell lose my heartbeat if I don't live enough
These are just some valuable life lessons I've learned 

a bad day doesn't make it a bad life
There will be some great memories to come after the sad nights
I'll make mistakes that they will Judge me for 
Even though Sex is great, Love means more 

Scars show strength and aren't a sign of weakness
You can't lose if you get back up, giving up is the only way to be defeated 
People come and go, even when you wish they'd stay
If you like them, tell them how you feel, because there may not be another chance after today 

It's not about who takes shots at you, it's about who you drink your shots with
It's about who had your back and never forgot it 
It's about who wiped your tears and didn't cause them
It's about who listened to your favourite songs and didn't ask you to pause them 

Be honest with everyone so you don't need to argue about who's realer 
Life throws us a lot of pain, but Music is the greatest healer
If someone needs to talk, take the time to listen
We've all got exes, just don't listen to Drake when you miss them 

I've got to withstand it as Anxiety and depression take turns 
It's okay to cry as long as I don't give up
I may aswell lose my heartbeat if I don't live enough
These are just some valuable life lessons I've learned

Alex, good lesson to learn about not giving up. Success in life is not so much a matter of talent as of perseverance.

Thank you, I agree with you about that, its about staying the course and overcoming what is thrown at you, that will only come with inner strength and not talent
