How many seventeen year olds (that’s right; I’m officially seventeen!) have a life philosophy? Mine is “Be Happy!” Some may call it naive, that I haven’t been around long enough to know that you can’t always be happy. I disagree; it’s the farthest thing from naive. Whatever happens is for the best (no, really). So be thankful for whatever circumstance is stressing you out because without it you wouldn’t be getting the best result, you’d be settling for something less than.

Happiness is a choice! You decide whether your life is enjoyable and fun or tiring and depressing. Focus on the positive of every situation! This is just something I’ve been refocusing on; thanks for listening to my pep talk.

Haha, I love how I just realized that this is probably why my favourite song is “Happy” by Pharrell Williams.
