I am seventeen years old, and I have been through my fair share of struggles. At times I¡¯ve felt I couldn¡¯t keep pulling through. Thing is I¡¯m still here. I believe in staying strong even when everything seems to be going wrong.

I wont sit here and write what I¡¯ve been through that would be pointless, because we all have misfortunes, and our own battles. Even though I have waned to give up, there has always need something telling me to get up, get over it and move on. The storm might be bad, but life isn¡¯t about waiting for the storm to pass, it¡¯s about learning to dance in the rain until the sun comes out. Life would be easier of we could just learn to be happy with what we have, learn to say good-bye when it¡¯s time, and not ever look back. True, sometimes we don¡¯t know what we have until we lose it, but its also true we don¡¯t know what were missing until we find it. There¡¯s a reason behind everything and instead of wishing things wouldn¡¯t happen, we need to go out there and look for that reason. Being hopeless and upset it a waste of time. We need to laugh and smile. Appreciate all the good things God gives us and forget the rest. Live life as it comes and goes. We may never be perfect, but we have to love ourselves as we are. We make mistakes, we hurt like we hurt others, but soon we learn to others, and eventually ourselves. We only live once so why hold grudges and cry, when we can love and laugh.

Just because today is a horrible day, does not mean that tomorrow will not be the best day of my life. I believe tomorrow is another day and we can start all over again.
