&quot;In three words I can sum up everything I&#039;ve learned about life: It goes on.&quot;<br /> <br /> -Robert Frost

You are the books you read
The movies you watch
the music you listen to
The people you meet
The conversations you engage yourself in

You are the sound of the ocean
The breath of fresh air
The brightest light and the darkest corner

You are the collective of every experience you have had in your life

You are every single day

So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence

Let the words run through your veins and let the colors fill your mind

I was just laying in bed one night thinking and these lines started popping in my mind, so I had to write them down, a little revision and BOOM, You Are.

&quot;I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There&#039;s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it. &quot;
