Past to the future

Just think

Just thinking about growing up is scary. When your a kid all you want to do is grow up, but in reality as you get older, your wishing you can go back to being a kid. It’s sad thinking about one day you will be out of high school and the friends you once hung out with you are barely ever going to see again. It’s sad to leave the school you been in for the past 4 years. The last time you step on the field for marching band. The last time you pick up a flag, a rifle, or a saber. It’s sad to see all the hours you put into being good just disappear. All the effort you put in to see improvement. All the friends you made for doing all the sports and activities. And not seeing them everyday after school for practice. Not being able to win another game or go to another practice together. Or most of all leaving the family you were once apart of and being able to talk to for anything and not worrying about being judged and hated for who you are. You were accepted. Yea growing can be tough and a lot of changes go on in your life. But you can get through it. No matter what it is, someone else’s day could be worse. Yes you may lose friends throughout the years. But you’ll gain more. More people that make you laugh and believe that they want you in their life. They will make an effort to be there for you no matter what. All of this is just scary. We willl be out of high school and be going to college. Soon you’ll have a real job and getting a house. Getting married and living together. Having to pay taxes and all of that can be so stressful. And one day having kids. Then you think about when you were a kid wishing you could grow up and now wishing you can go back in time when you were a kid and not having to worry about paying taxes going to work. Life goes by so fast. There is no time to hang out with fake people who bring you down and make you feel depressed. Because believe it or not, your life will just slip out from under you and you will be regretting not doing what you wanted with your life when you were younger. So don’t waste your time on shit that’s not worth it. Keep true friends that make an effort to be in your life and believe that everything will be okay and you’ll be glad you did. Because you might not be here the next day and you’ll be wishing you didn’t waste your time being an idiot and caring what people thought of you. Just be you and try to do your best no matter what. Doesn’t matter if people can toss a saber or shoot a basketball better than you because one day by working hard and not giving up you can achieve your goal and showing that you can do anything you put your mind too. You never know what your capabilities are unless you try. Don’t give up on life because someone that died yesterday could have had a plan for the morning or someone hat died in the morning could have had a plan for the night. Don’t push things off and say you’ll do it another time. Or you have plenty of time to do it because you never know where your life will go. You don’t know if today is your last day you see your family or friends. Don’t let life slip out from under you because you’ll regret it in the end and realize how much you spent worrying about the stupidest shit that went on. Believe in your self and live in the moment. Life will create its own path. So be glad you wake up every morning. “Every one has mountains to climb but Always stay humble and kind. Don’t take for granted the love that this life gives you.” Appreciate every day that you get on this world. Yea it can be a little messed up but god wanted you here and made you for you not to be anyone else. Your the only one that can play your role. Don’t change it because people don’t like it. Be you because you like it and be confident in who you are.
