Laugh, even when you feel too tired. 
Smile, even when you're trying not to cry.
Sing, even when people are staring at you.
Trust, even when your heart begs you not to. 
Twirl, even when your mind makes no sense of what you see. 
Kiss, even when others are watching. 
Sleep, even when you're afraid of what the dreams might bring. 
Run, even when it feels like you can't run any more.
And, always, remember, even when the memories pinch your heart, because the pain of all your experience is what makes you the person you are now. What makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible times in life and hold your head up high the next day. So don't live life in fear. Because you are stronger now, after all that has happened, than you ever were back before it started....
