Cherishing your life

     For some, having a lot in your life is what you might want. Other's might not want the same thing. Our life's are filled with material items, or memories. Whatever the case may be, the one thing you should do is cherish all that you have. You never know what is going to happen. Here's my story:
     When I was about 11, we were in North Carolina. Finally moved, thinking that we were going to live there forever, or so we thought. Being there, I met some pretty cool friends, began to live the life I wanted.  Had my best friend there, laughing and being 11 was my thing. Young, and getting out of my shell were the two things I began to work on. It wasn't til we packed up and moved to Iowa, that I realized my life wasn't like the fairy tale. I began to have some issues, mentally and physically. Bringing myself down, it wasn't the best of times. But, I learned to move on, with the little sting of realizing the life I left behind. Through all the trouble, grief, success, I learned to get over my past. Cherishing every moment I had with them, I was at  peace. But it didn't come easy, it was rough. Every night, I would remember crawling into bed, and crying because I didn't understand why my life had to change. " Why me?" would constantly race through my mind.
     Through all the rough times, I was able to learn new things, be able to become who I am today. Yes, it wasn't my best time, but it was also worth it. People come and go, things disappear, or wear down with use or age. What matters most... is the fact that they or it was in your life and maybe had an impact on you. So cherish all your moments, experiences, and material things. It's your life after all.
