The Necessities of Life

I decide how I am going to live.  I decide who I am going to be.  I decide what color my hair will be next.  I decide what to wear.  I decide how I am going to look. I decide who I am going to love in this world.  I decide my own actions.  I decide where I am going to go.  I make my own decisions based on who I am.  I decide. 

If everything in life is not going as planned, do not give up on yourself, for there is something out there that is waiting for you and calling out your name. You might not realize it for a long time, but to every bad situation comes a good one. No matter how bad the situation is, DO NOT give up. No matter how difficult events can get, no matter what position you are in, you never give up. Giving up is the Devil's way of defeating you. He laughs at you and watches you struggle.

What Is Life? To most people, life is supposed to be this beautiful thing that makes us joyful in looking to our future. Life is supposed to be this magical journey we go on, learning new things and exploring new places we have never been before; however, the reality part of life is a little scary. We look at all of the wonderful values life has to offer, and most of the time we forget about all of the negative vibes that can occur. Life is not at all perfect. Yes, good things can happen, but dangerous things happen as well. The scary part is when you start to focus on the negative and scary things, and you start to forget how to be happy. How are you supposed to get through life when everything seems down. People experience life differently, and that is normal.
