I value some things more than others.

Cleanliness, for I know what it is to live in filth.
Organization, for I know what it is to be surrounded by chaos.
Kindness, for I know what it is to be treated with cruelty.
Cheerfulness without cause, for I know what it is to be depressed with cause.
Forgiveness, for I know what it is to let pride induce hate.
Matching clothes, for I know what it is to have none.
Nice outfits, for I know what it is to be judged by what I lack.
A smile every day, for I know what it is to be unable to procure one.
Independence, for I know what it is to have no one to rely on.
Good memories, for I know what it is to be haunted by bad ones.
Food, for I know what it is to go hungry.
School supplies, for I know what it is to have a single binder.
Intelligence, for I know what it is to be ignorant.
Freedom, for I know what it is to be trapped.
True friends, for I know what it is to have few who don’t care.
Good teachers, for I know what it is to have to learn for myself.
Music, for I know what it is to be choked by silence.
Mentors, for I know what it is to not have anyone to look up to.
Colors, for I know what it is to look out at a bleak world.
The future, for I know what it is to be without hope.
Writing, for I know what it is to be unable to express myself.


These things are meaningful to me, because my life is different than others’. I have learned through my hardships what to truly value.

I'm sorry, but it's kinda hard to read in black as a font colour. Could you please change it? It looks really good by the way :D so I'll give you something that I rarely share with others:

KIRBY DANCE YAY!!!! <("<) ^(' ')^ (>")>

:D

Sorry, Guy- the font was black because I copy/pasted straight from MS Word instead of re-typing it. Gray better?

Lol and...thanks?...for the dance :P
