The things in life that are truly important.

Ever since my baby brother has been home from hospital (he had pnemonia and influenza B) I have started to realise the things that are really important in life.
No, its not about having the coolest new clothes, having a sidekick and a bright pink hair straightner..
It's being there for the people that you love, and that love you in return.
It's respecting people.. even if they do the wrong thing or do something that you don't like.
It's being able to put your trust into someone else's hands. It's the best feeling knowing that someone you love will do anything to not betray your trust.
It's understanding others,why they are and who they are.
It's accepting everyone, no matter what they look like, what they are into, who they are into for that matter and whatever they have done in the past.
It's listening to people and their views on things.
It's laughing and being able to have fun and smile, no matter what is going on in your life at that point in time.
It's not wanting to grow up too fast, even though some are forced to.
It's about living for the moment and not holding back because of what people might think of you.
It's about being yourself and having self respect. You have to be able to love yourself before you can love anyone else.
It's about just being you in general. Whether you might have flawless skin.. or freckles, whether you have curves or you are flat. It doesnt matter.
and I guess whats what I'm trying to say.
that it doesnt matter how people perceieve you, it doesnt matter if people don't agree with you, Its about caring and loving the things in life that are important.
 make-up, money, cars, phones, computers, spray tans, clothes, accesories, shoes and salon appointments are all just materialistic things that we could live without if we had to.
But what we couldn't live without is someone that cares for us, someone that loves us, someone that will be there for you through thick and thin.
Most people don't know what it feels like not to have that.
and I'm not going to pretend I don't either.
Because I am extremely lucky in that aspect.
But you do have to take the time to think of those people who don't have that.

xo.
