"No matter how bad your life may seem, when you least expect it you find something or someone that can make a smile shout out a thousand and one meanings and see all life positive again." I am 16 years old and as I sit here I say to myself: "What if today was the last time I get to live on this planet?"
Before you know it, life goes by in a blink of an eye. It seems that just yesterday I was learning to ride a bike, and starting kindergarten. Already I thought I was so grown up just because I was starting school. It's funny to think that when you look back you get to see all the foolish silly little mistakes you made and just laugh at them. Then came middle school and I thought I had all my life planned ahead of me, but as unexpectedly as it is, your plans change quite often too.
Being 16 years old today I can quite say that I have been through a lot in life. That there are moments when everything just comes tumbling down and I don't even want next day to come. When you're a teenager it's easy to say "oh I wish I was dead! I hate my life!" When you say that in front of an 85 year old person, it seems ridiculous to them, because they know how to value life at their old age,even if they didn't when they were younger. Even with all the negative that jams up in your life, just take a deep breath, relax and look at the positive side of it, and believe me you'll be surprised at the things you can dig up.
I myself took a look at the good things in my life and put a smile on my own face. Its not about the things, its about the people in your life that make it great. If today was my last day, I would thank each and every person that made me smile, because somehow they made a difference in my life. I would tell my Nephew Mateo and Niece Zalea everything I have learned throughout my life; Ottmar well, I would thank him for all the moments we spend together and let him know the significantly difference he has brought to my life; And I would just spend some time with myself and be happy with the person I became these 16 years.
In conclusion to this. I accepted myself and learned that life is hard. Only when your a kid it may seem ever so easy, and the most you worry about is if your going to get that toy. Even though it's a lot of work life is the most beautiful and valuable thing this world has for us because though your life isn't so great just know that somebody else has it worse.
