Lost: Death and Silent Smile
Lost
The time of minutes do you ever count them? I do and every minute away leads me to my goal which is death. Some are afraid of dying but I just can’t wait for my after life and honestly I don’t know what to expect from it. The only thing I can see are the possibilities that I want to do but I can’t because I always think of the consequences. I sure wish just once I can break a rule. Smoke, drink, party, sneak out in the middle of the night, have a boyfriend, make a mistake. Both ways we seem to always be punished and I guess that is what scares me. The word possibilities, hopes, dream have been lost for me; they are out my dictionary. I am a silent smile. I know there is more in life I can do like finding my career, finishing high school, going to college. That is what many parents want us to do but have they ever told us to hey I want you to fail so you can succeed, live your life, do something great today, change someone’s life, hey let’s not go to school and let’s do a memorable day. No right because those are reckless ideas. I might as well be a reckless person because I want to see life as fucked up one but I can’t because the thing is it has good, it has bad and it’s not really fucked up its just life. Life itself can be warm and cold place it’s just the way you live it. If some reason you don’t live as a failure than I promise you will not be a winner, successful or great. You will be lost in darkness, curiosity, and time.

    When we are going through hardships in life, we feel like we are in a small wreck boat fighting the currents of a nasty sea storm. We start noticing we are miles and miles away from help; we realize we are alone. We cannot see beyond the situation we are currently experiencing. We are blind by the sea storm and it seems like there is no sign of hope anywhere. But just as we fall into despair, a luminous light squeezes from the dark grayish clouds. And even though we almost had let go of the only precious thing that gave us strength, this light is giving us an opportunity to preserve hope once more. In Lisel Mueller’s poem “Hope”, Mueller claims hope is difficult to see and maintain, but it lives everywhere even in herself.…

    So I began to imagine what the world should be like instead of the nightmare it actually was. It was meant to be a place where strangers were met with a smile, not a snarky comment on the way their hair was combed. A place where boys and girls could be interested in the things that made them smile not what was deemed appropriate for their gender, or where the solution to all of life’s problems could be some with some quick thinking and a montage or two. The reality of course being that this just was not the case and that in order to get over things, I had to understand that things were not as innocent as I had hoped they would be and that the hardest problems would end in tears. Kindness was seen as a trick to get me to lower my guard, and all victories were just a pause in the endless failures that were about to take…

    Life is like one big race that we are set out to win, with many hurdles in our way that try to stop us and test our determination, but with every failure and defeat our determination grows stronger as we ourselves grow as a person. You will learn that life is full of ups and downs, but no matter how hard life gets you down you got to get back on your feet, smile stubbornly and fight back and then maybe we will understand like the Wolfe family what it means to conquer your fears against all lifes odds to make something of yourself, to prove your worth, to make it known that you yourself are a winner.…

    Spending life wrapped in a coddle of emotions and experiences I cannot sort through I’ve set out on a journey to explain myself to you. Walking through life while collecting moments I fail to piece together I’ve created a litany of lessons and frustrations I’m attempting to share. None of this should be extraordinary news; I never climbed a mountain ( or completed other like physical feats) to find enlightenment, I’ve failed to create a technology which will save lives, I’m nothing special just a neighborhood twenty year old writing stories for you; nuggets of disdain, snark, discovery, and solitude. Twenty years on a planet is exhausting, I’m still not confident that adults can survive beyond this…

    It takes an open mindset, heart, & soul to deal with the curve balls that life throws . Today, I don’t mind letting my pain spearhead my passion. Now I don’t mind singing from my pain, or dancing from where it hurts. In the midst of it all, I found pieces of myself that I acquired from hardship. “Who am I?”, I honestly don't know, but over the past few years, who I've become, a strong young lady who still desires to know more of herself one step at a time. Who I am & who I acquire to be is yet to…

    When we’re young, we think that nothing can hurt us, we’re invincible, and there’s a good chance we can live forever. We want to do many things that are risky and questionable without even thinking about the possibility of death. We don't realize what could've happened until we are older and have more of a realization of death and its entirety. At seventeen, I have had my fair share of near death experiences and look back and think to myself how life could be over in an instant. Death isn't really about if and how it’s going to happen, but when it’s going to happen.…

    We all die, the goal of life isn’t to live forever, its to create something that will. I heard once that well behaved women rarely make history, so be a bad ass and don’t regret a thing. I try hard to make people happy, but in reality everyone needs to go out there and find happiness for themselves. I always keep my head up, and you better believed I have never looked back, for everything that occurs happens for a reason. The only thing harder then walking away though, is when you never turn back, ever. Try your best at first impressions, cuz you only have one kiss, one chance, one dance to be the difference between happily ever after and “yeah she’s just some girl I knew.” When something hurts you, stay mad as long as you can because once it gets u upset. it takes nothing but time to get over it. So you should always be careful on who you waste your time with, they may not be here tomorrow. Although, you should never forget what they did to you, but never let them know that you remember. I feel if you want something, you have to go out there and take what’s yours, because nothing is impossible. Don’t you ever pray when it rains, if you don’t give thanks when it shines, because you don’t deserve it. Always count your blessings, for they’re long gone. My adventure has begun since the day I was born, and you better believe im guna shine as greatly as the sun, I’ve always been a dreamer. To much in life do I see girls chasing after something, that isn’t after them. I truly believe the only guy you deserve, is the one who thinks he doesn’t. Everybody can change, for better or for worse, but the only way you’ll ever change your ways is if u give up your old ways. Love is a strong word, and to many people out there throw it around like its nothing. Love is a fire, but whether its goin to warm your heart or burn your house down, you can never tell but take the risk anyway. Love is pain, tears, confusion, and will break you down, but also it will give you life. Never think…

    The song “Don’t stop believing”, by Journey, explains how rough life can be and become at times. Everybody has their days, but it’s all about what you make out of those days that counts. You just have to keep believing and stay strong through the ups and down. Life, we all have it, but it’s hard to decide what you’re going to do in it. Keep hoping for the best, stay motivated and open your eyes to everything out there. Don’t let anything hold you back especially from your dream.…

    We had all gone home that day with sorrow in our eyes and a missing piece of our hearts. It was only a few weeks before that missing piece restored, but it wasn’t the same. Dusty was cremated and never left our house since. Ever since my dog left us with an aching heart, I’d never seen life the same. Life has many different, endless possibilities. In an instant, any plans of the future could change, but that shouldn’t get in the way of the dreams that are wished to achieve. Although tragic events may cause a pause in any plans, anything can turn it around and get back on track. As long as a brave face is put on and a bright outlook is on mind, anything is possible, even in the worst of…
