When you are young and immature,
you don't always think and you don't
usually care who or what your actions will affect. All a teenager really
cares about is number one, me, myself, and I. We don't always realize
that there is something more, something greater then getting a first
kiss, or who's dating who, or who took who to prom. When I was in fifth
grade I thought about things like this. But over the past few years my
eyes have been forced open. I had to take a long big look around, and
what i discovered was something extraordinary. But something
extraordinary
always comes with a high cost, and for every trial that is thrown at
you, for every pain filled second you have to endure. If you don't
break
and give in and give up it makes you stronger. And each and every trial
you endure is the cost you have to pay for something extraordinary.
And
the extraordinary only comes after you have accepted who you are, and
that
your life is nothing but a mountain to climb, and if you stop climbing
for a second, if you rest for even one short second, you could fall
down, you could lose all the precious ground you've covered, and then
you'll have to start all over once again. So ask yourself is one
second,
two seconds, or a couple hours of pleasure, or of something you want
that might not be wise. Is it worth destroying your future? Every day i
watch, and i see, and hear of things that have destroyed people and yet
they don't realize it yet. But when they do its gonna be only after they
have hit rock bottom. I have been there, and i have done that. Its not a
happy place to be. I rather like the view from the mountain top better.
