Live Anyway

"Happiness is irrelevant."

They need you to fit into the mold that best suits their ideals.

Accept the judgement—smile anyway.

Keep putting one foot in front of the other.

"Innocence is a viewpoint."

They need you to feel unearned shame so that they can feel more powerful.

Accept the blame—apologize anyway.

Allow your truth to strengthen your stride.

"Dreams are unimportant."

Others will never encourage your aspirations if their own goals are unobtainable.

Accept the criticism—submit anyway.

Perseverance will quicken your pace.

Hope is evasive.

Dark times will make you question the value of continuing to exist.

Accept your circumstances—live anyway.

Be proud of how unstoppable you are.
