Life as I see It

 

   As a teenager, I have probably faced some of the hardest things in my life at a young age. I am sixteen and I have already been faced with death, passion, hope and despair. My adolescence might be a barrier people need to come across to appreciate the depth of my writing, but from where I stand at this point in my life, there are children my age that need to hear what I have to say. When you think of the word happiness and death we get these images that find its way into our heads. Happiness we think that everything is ok and death is dark and despairing. Well I have experienced both. My friend recently passed away due to a choice she made at a despairing part of her life. In my mind I knew that she was falling farther and farther away from her center, her core. Her passing brought many emotions. Happiness, despair, mourning. Finding a way to overcome this tragedy was difficult, and I’m still struggling but what I have learned is that there is always tomorrow. There is always a chance to make a better day happen. If we live in yesterdays past, we cannot hope for tomorrows future. Life is meant to give us memories. Personal scars that are left on the heart. It is why we are human. It is why we are made to breathe in the Image of God. Life is a gift, it’s a choice. It’s a delicate factor that we only have one time to do it right. Not everything will be perfect. Not everything will be ok. But it will get better. The road may wind twist and get narrow but it's those who proceed make it to the straight. Those who persist to see tomorrow will thrive off of what they can make of themselves. They live for today hope for tomorrow. They want to experience life, as it should be. I haven’t lived life nor would I say I have. I am still young but I do know that my life is what I make of it. It is an opportunity to make a difference if not for the world for myself because I deserve it. I deserve to make the best possible for me. Being mentally healthy and proud of yourself is all I ask. If you could do anything would it be to change the world for the better or change yourself for the better. Most people would say the world, but if we do not change ourselves the world will stay corrupt and only when we are satisfied in what we are can we be truly happy. Those who see the eyes of God are blessed, and those who see the eyes of God in themselves and others are truly blessed for they are the ones who are filled with wisdom and know tomorrow is soon and its ok to carry on.
