Throughout my teenage years I began to have mixed feelings about myself. I felt that my life did not matter for various reasons. When you’re young you don’t really think much into why you are here, you just think about fun, the basics rules and necessities of your life, as you have someone to teach you and look after you, and support you all throughout. I finally realized that I let all my troubles, and in the moment hardships, memories, and feelings get the best of me. I realized that my life does matter, my life matters for the simple fact that I had been brought into this world. To me, my life matters because I am the only person who can live my life. I am only me, no one else can face everything an individual goes through if it isn’t their shoes. To me my life matters because from birth, I am basically a “miracle baby”, I’ve faced hardships since birth and will continue to for the rest of my life, whether myself personally or with others. I also was suppose to face hardships that i have overcame and proved others wrong. I also feel that my life matters because I have dreams that need to be accomplished, i want to be a early educator. I want to impact the future generation, the young and developing minds. I want to take care of my mom just like she takes care of me. Everyone’s live matters. My life matters. Everyone can have a different impact on others whether its friendship, relationship, family. I personally feel that my life matters because everyone has a purpose, even if you may not have a miraculous life, the way you are as a being can effect someone else. Everyone I have come to know, has tremendously been shocked as to my personality and how I am. I’m too generous, kind, forgiving, etc. As I know how I am I can’t have a change to heart. Society at times, does get to me and i try not to let that affect who i am. To know that people see nothing but good in me makes me feel like I do matter. Life to me is to be lived adventurous and loving until the day you are 6 ft in the ground. Once you are brought into this world, you matter, there’s a reason for it.
