My house was broken into and my most precious items were stolen from my mother and I. This happened last Wednesday. I cried that night, because I thought about how hard my mother and I worked for those materials. My girlfriend and my Mom made me realize something though. It’s not the end of the world. I still have my health, my girlfriend, and my Mom. That weekend My girlfriend slept over and we had a great time cooking and watching old shows on an old television I have. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not the materials and technology that keep us happy, it’s me and her. We make each other happy. There’s not a single day when I look forward to hearing her voice or seeing her. My feelings for her are strong. We have plans to move in together. If we do, I feel that we can get along just fine. I just want to make sure that it’s right. I want to make sure I’m responsible and can support this wonderful new journey I’m willing to embrace with her. I want to know that my job is secure and that I would never have to ask her for money. I am grateful that she is confident in me. I feel that I have to take initiative and make my mom’s house secure before anything. I want to help out as much as I can. My mom has worked her whole life to better my sister and I. My only way to repay her is to help fix her house. I failed to realize that I have to be protective towards my family, that my neighborhood isn’t how it used to be. Since my television and Xbox have been gone I’ve been more active. I think I wont buy anything yet. I think I’m happy.
Why is it so easy to speak blasphemy? Gossip is a sin. We live in a society where opinion is fact, decpetion is a tool, and ignorance is bliss! Reputation means everything. This city can make you or it can break you. For once in my life opinion doesn’t bother me anymore! I’m more focused on the people I care about the most. If I focus in other’s miserable opinions, then I’m just as miserable to retaliate. I finally see the big picture. I can smile and know I have it good! I’m going to set the stage for a better class. As a good hero once said, “There are bigger things going on right now between you and me!” My negativities are expressed positively! Ex. Cleaning, exercise, practice! Here’s my theory on life. There is no greater feeling in the world than feeling alive. I know when to speed up, slow down, make my move, analyze, attack, defend, be patient, explode, intimidate, be quiet, infiltrate, expose. Ultimately, I know the laws. I abide by them. If you respect the laws then you will reduce many problems. I’m going to be something more. My eyes are finally open!
