When we are born, we come into the world crying. We haven't been alive for more than 30 seconds before we realize how messed up our world is. We then get older and learn more things. We learn that people abandon us and some lie. We figure out that the world isn't black and white, but simply a rainbow of different colors. We become adults and we live this life that is already picked out for us.

Some days we are happy, and others we are sad, but imagine this: we are happy every day. Wouldn't that be amazing? Obviously, it's nearly impossible. Sad things happen and we get angry, but look back over your life. What if instead of getting angry, we just let it go? What if we stopped ruining our happy moments and just enjoyed them? What if we stopped hitting the self-destruct button on ourselves?

So you meet a guy. He is great. Everything you could have wanted in your life. Then one day, he asks you to move in with him. One of two things could happen. One, you run for the hills and just forget this incredible guy, or two, you move in and just take it one day at a time. In one case, you go your whole life wondering what could have been, and in the other, you find out. It is okay to be nervous about moving in with this guy, but that doesn't mean you have to leave the relationship. Are you happy? Then stop letting yourself run from that feeling.

Far too often we don't let ourselves love or live because of fear of getting hurt. But what we are really doing is hurting ourselves in the end. We are living our lives in fear and that is all of our fault.

We keep telling ourselves that this is what we want and this is how we will be happy. By not falling in love or by not moving to the city of our dreams. But that isn't living. Just stop pressing that button and go live your life.

You want to move to New York City on a whim? Do it. You want to go work at Disney World for the rest of your life? Have an amazing time. You want to marry that boy you only met a few months ago? Go be happy. Just live.

There are so many things in life you will end up being sad over or regretting, but it isn't fair to you if you are the cause of that. We still have cancer in our world and we still have war. Bad things are going to happen but that doesn't mean we can't live most of our days in bliss.

So go. Put down that big red self-destruct button and go be happy. Stop letting your fear determine your path and stop ruining the good things you have. Let your self feel love and compassion. Just let your self live.
