Living+Linsey's++Life

__You are in control__ By Linsey Sexton The truth is at some point everything will come crashing down, but you are the only one who can put it back together. To put it back together you have to find the strength to move on from the past and be who you want. My Philosophy is simply to live, live the life you make for your self. Life is hard, harder for some than others, but its life nothing is perfect. I envy children who only see the best of the world, they know how to turn anything into something good. I realized about 7th grade that those girls who always got in fights, never really had anything to fight about. They choose to fight about it, so I learned to take the high road. You choose how you react to everything that happens to you....so live life dont worry about what you can't change, worry about what you can and make the best of it cause you only have one life to live.

Children see things very well sometimes I want to return to a time when life was simple, when all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do In the blink of an eye It can change your life And it never even slows down - It's the wheel of the world

We live but a fraction of our life. He that has ears to hear, let him hear. To be awake is to be alive. I have never met a man that was quite awake. I did not wish to live what was not life Why do we not let on the flood, raise the gates, and set all our wheels in motion?



So get in where you fit in go on and shine" We'd talk about our dreams, you'd talk 'bout everything, We'd go so loud, but we don't care, Cause all we care is that we're having so much fun. Free your mind and the rest will follow. A beauty, which is truth and a truth which is beauty.

Truth can stand by itself the first thing we would have to get used to is the darkness. A worker bee weighs less than a flower petal, but she can fly with a load heavier than her. But she only lives four or five weeks. Sometimes not feeling is the only way you can survive.

We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude

And because we cannot see the end, we also cannot see how it changes There is nothing perfect, There is only life.
