Title is a little ambiguous. This is about life and the way I feel it should be lived. Feedback very appreciated.

There is nothing wrong with closing your eyes when reality comes your
way, 

or saying that there is nothing there when it smacks you in the face. 

There is nothing wrong with laughing so hard that you can't feel the
pain, 

or listening to a song a thousand times just because it makes you think.


You are still alright if you wasted your life, if you were chasing
dreams. 

Just as long as you listened to the whispered voice inside of you, 

instead of the one that screamed at you to become something you had no
desire to be. 

You only have one life to live, so live it as you like. 

The only life that is truely wasted is one 

that lives forgetful of its dreams, 

and bows forever to the will of others.
