How to: Know you're living a good life

Hellooo...first I want to apologize for not posting last week but I've not been able to as I was kind of really ill haha 

BUT 

I'm okay again so here's today's post!

Now to understand this post I think I have to explain how this topic even came to my mind.
I'm 17 years old and I've never been a person who drank alcohol,smoke or went to parties.
I just don't like that.

I do have friends who do all that stuff tho.
And there was a time where they kept telling me that I don't live my life right and that I'm wasting my youth.

Why am I suppose to go to parties and drink because I'm young?
Is this their definition of a good life?

Well it's obviously not mine.
In my eyes, and I can say that's only how I think, it's important to look and maybe live for the future.
I study a lot and I draw because I want to get to my dream university.
Get my dream job.

You know, I don't have to party and drink and go out if I know that my future will make me happy.

Plus.

I think you know that you're living a good life as a good person if you know you've helped other people or made their life happier and easier.

You can't have the definition of a good life in saying that you're enjoying every second with partying but not helping any others.

That's just not right in my eyes.

I mean you don't have to be mother Theresa now don't get me wrong.
But helping your parents now and then or old people if they do.

Walk around with a smile and just be nice to each other.
You have no idea how much a little smile can affect someone's day.


I don't know if my definition of a good life is right but this is how I see it.


I hope I didn't offend anyone with this haha
Have a nice day (:
