Ignorance is BLiss, But Knowledge is Power

"Dance like no one is watching, love like you'll never be hurt, sing like no one is listening, and live like it's heaven on earth."- William Purkey

This right here is probably my favorite quote. I find that it really represents ME. I love this quote with all my heart and I can’t even explain WHY.

So I decided to use this quote today because I am suffering from an injury to the hip which has incapacitated my ability to dance. Don’t worry, it’s nothing too serious (I hope) I haven’t seen a doctor—yet—but I will soon. In the mean time, I’ve decided it would be best to put my dancing on hold, no matter how hard it is.

I think what this quote is trying to say is don’t sweat the small stuff, don’t let what other people think affect you and to just LIVE. Obviously in high school there will be the drama and the jerks and the people that can’t stand you and the people that find it thoroughly amusing to harass and annoy you. But you know what? Who cares? Who CARES what they think? You shouldn’t let their opinions affect you because they don’t matter. Not to you.

On the first day of school my journalism teacher told us that a meteor was heading for the United States and it was HUGE. We had about two more weeks to live. When we all started to panic, he told us, it was not true. He then told us this quote: “Ignorance Is Bliss, But Knowledge Is Power.” Then he asked us to write down whether we would have wanted to know (Knowledge is Power) or if we would have rather stayed oblivious the news (Ignorance Is Bliss) and to say why. I think it’s good to just live in the moment, not worrying about what’s coming next.

Dance like no one is watching: dance like you don’t care what other people think.

Love like you’ll never be hurt: go into relationships not caring about what has happened in the past.

Sing like nobody is listening: sing like you don’t care what others think. Say what you want because your opinion MATTERS.

Live like it’s heaven on earth: live like there are no problems in our world.

Once again, yours truly has managed to make NO SENSE AT ALL.

Peace&Love
