My take on LIFE

Ive been on this crazy earth for about seventeen years. Seventeen years is how long it took me to actually take this thing called life seriously. Growing up has been hard, lately im finishing my last few years of highschool, taking the ACT and SAT, looking at college applications and places to stay, figuring out what major i would like to study for the rest of my life, looking at scholarship opportunities, and lets not forget learning how to drive. Both my parents are always working so im really learning how to raise myself. Ive got to say i do have more freedom and its pretty nice to be able to just go to starbucks and relax with a friend or two. Recently i learned its better to love and to have lost than to never have loved at all. Theres reason why people go in and out of your life. Trusting in GOD rather than holding it all in has been one of the best decisions of my life. I know everything will work out, even though it might feel like the world is crashing down all around me. I'm excited for the next few months with thanksgiving and the holidays coming up. The family comes together, all the leaves on the trees are changing colors, and an aroma of burning firewood is filling the air. Life can be anything you make of it, so why not make it worth living?
