Life is like a choose your own adventure book. Except you don't get many choices if you live by other people's rules. As Robert Frost said;
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
There's a huge difference between living and existing. If all you do is exist, when would you live?

It's hard sometimes. To live a life with happiness. But it surely reminds you that life itself is never supposed to be happy. It's supposed to be interesting. Full of surprises and shocks. Now answer me, what keeps you waking up every day? It's the will to see another day with hope of getting through it alive. There's no meaning to life, it's us who put meaning in it. What is important is to live each day with the nonchalant optimism that the next will be better, it doesn't matter if it isn't any better. What matters is that you made into another day!
"Do you have any other advice?" asked the boy.
"Don't measure how valuable you are by the way you are treated," said the horse.
