I'm not a perfect person
In fact , I'm a perfectly imperfect person
Being perfect is not something I seek . . .
Because it's not possible ,
But do you know what is ?
Becoming a better person
That's something we can all do
Becoming a better person than i was yesterday . . .
Is a beautiful promise I can make to myself
I promise to be KIND ,
To be CARING ,
To be HELPFUL ,
To be RESPECTFUL and to have SELF RESPECT ,
To be GENEROUS and GIVING ,
To be SINCERE and SELFLESS ,
To be FORGIVING and ACCEPTING ,
To be HUMBLE and HONEST ,
To be COURAGEOUS and LOYAL ,
To have more faith in myself and others ,
To be more CONFIDENT and BRAVE ,
But the most important of all . . .
I promise to find light in every darkness ,
And when it feels hopeless , I will tell myself to try one more time . . .
And have faith ,
My mother would always tell me ,
If you're close to ink , you'll be in darkness ,
If you're close to light , you'll shine bright ,
I promise myself to no longer live in darkness ,
But surround myself with light ,
Only then I can truly shine bright ,
Like stars . . .
Whenever you look up at the night sky to see stars . . .
It takes million of years for their light to reach us . . .
So what we end up seeing are memories from the past ,
But it doesn't matter , because all we care about is what's right in front of us . . .
A beautiful shining star ,
Not the past ,
But the present ,
A gift ,
The past is behind . . .
Only look back to learn from it ,
And when you're ready ,
Let's all move forward towards the light ,
Lighting up the night like stars so that we can help others find their way in darkness .
Adii
