Sometimes… Do you ever just sit there and think how ironic life is. How funny it is. How serious it is. How much people mean to you. Life comes at your fast, and you need to be ready for it. Not only do you need to be ready for it, but you need to grab life by the horns, and take the chances you never thought you would.

You will meet people who you will never forget, and people who you wish you could. You will go through situations that will really test who you are and your strengths. Sometimes you will fail, and you will make mistakes that you regret, but just remember every mistake is a step in the right direction. That is if you take it that way. You determine how your life will go. Either you can try to be the best person you can be for the sake of other people and Jesus, or you can be selfish and live for yourself. Being the best person I can be to ME personally, is being strong in the things I believe in, being there for people who really need someone. Being a good influence to smaller children, and even for my peers. Helping the world one person at a time. Even if that means sacrifice. I am willing to give up so much to be that person. But also it is hard to be the best person you can be, even though you want to be. People mess up, forget things, make wrong decisions, lose best friends, and wish they could return to that place and time when everything is okay. When in reality, you can not turn time around. You can only live day by day, and accept the things that have happened in your life, and make redeeming actions in reply. Take those experiences and turn them into something meaningful. Make a change in this world for the better. You will also meet people in your life who wear the label called a hypocrite. These people are the hardest to over come in your life, because not only are they manipulative, but they are devious, lying, and pretending to be someone that they are not. They might hoax you at first, and you believe everything they say and do is for the right purpose, or for real. Then again, they may not fool you, but they fool everyone else around them. These people are the worst to deal with because you need to try to understand where they are coming from and why they are doing what they’re doing. Sometimes for attention, sometimes to impress a person or a group of people. When you do come across a manipulative person, you just really need to be there for them. They obviously have their priorities and their own life mixed up, and sometimes they’re so far int a hole, that instead of trying to climb out, they dig themselves deeper. Try to understand these people. See where they are coming from and why. Care for that person, because they can’t care for themselves.

What you do everyday will impact the rest of your life. Even the small things. Who do you want to be in life. What do you want to see yourself do. And how do you go about achieving that. Everyone knows the answers but choose to deny it. Instead they turn to alcohol, partying, sex and drugs for a release on reality. When that truly only makes things worse. Please, take some time to think about your life, and where you want it to go. I know some of you are thinking, “Well I will get my life right when I am out of college or high school”, but really… Life is
so much more worth living when you take those prime years of your life and make them into the better. Who will people in your school remember you as? The person always there for someone else, or the person who always partied, hooked up, and will get no where in life? Take this opportunity to dig deep inside of you and find the person that you are and that you want to be. Who you want to be to other people. And how you want to live your life. And remember, any mistake that you have made, it’s not too late to ask for forgiveness and turn your life around for the greater.
