Childhood seems so long ago, sounds so long ago. But the memories feel like it was just yesterday playing with the neighborhood kids at my grandparents. Kickball, basketball, dirt wars, riding bikes down to the park, you name it and we did it. The only worry in the world was putting band aids on the scrapes we got from it all. Swing sets and footballs, beating the boys when they said girls can’t do it. Spending the night with grandma just to do it all over again the next day. Cheese eggs for breakfast and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch, then mommas good cooking for dinner. Day after day I saw the same people but played different games. Man oh man if I could feel that excitement again.

You’re always given a choice. And your decision will affect you and everything your life will become. What is it that you’re passionate about? Do you even know what you want out of life? Do people tell you that it’s impossible, or you aren’t smart enough? Well I think that should be what motivates you, prove to everyone who tries to put you down that they are wrong. Women became soldiers, men became nurses, and African Americans became president. Break the mold, do what you want. If you aren’t quite sure what exactly it is that you want to accomplish yet, go on a search for it.
I personally want to help people. I have a desire to want to give to those who are willing to try, those who are deserving. It’s never too late to figure out what you’re meant for. Just remember it is always your choice, it won’t always be easy but sometimes the hard work makes you appreciate what comes out of it.

Roller coasters.. They go up, down, fast, and sometimes they loop in circles.
Life.. It has its ups, it has its downs, it goes by very fast, and you sometimes feel like you’re just going in circles.
You choose whether you ride the exciting road, or if you sit on the bench.
Do you ride it out? Enjoy it while it lasts? Or are you the one to wait and see, just watch everyone around you going on the adventure?
There is always a seat next to you; you get to choose who is right there with you, just remember they are going to be there until the end. But you can’t forget the other seats surrounding you as well. They will still be there at the end; they just enjoy you from a distance.
So will you be the daredevil, will you take the risk, or will you be the one that sits back and watches the fun all around you?

Life… it’s wonderful, it’s spontaneous, careful yet carefree. Full of love and anger. Tears for upsets or tears for joy. Some lives are wild and exciting; some lives revolve around something larger than this world alone. But it’s always your life, and it’s always your choice. Some things are harder than others; it’s never easy but always difficult. Family and friends try to help, sometimes that works but other times you just feel like no one can understand but you always need people, you cant do it alone theres so many people in this world because they all need to work together. There is always that one person that can always relate to you, that is so easy to talk to, about anything and everything, never a dull moment with the two of you. There are times you will be so happy that you can’t even begin to describe it and just don’t want to lose that one wonderful feeling you have always waited to have. It’s amazing how the smallest things seem to always have the largest impact and end up being the largest part of your life. You never want to let it go…
Life… it’s wonderful, it’s what you make it. Live it to be happy, fulfill every dream possible, see everything beautiful and love everything about it…
