Your mind is like a parachute, It doesn't work if it's not open.

We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses. You decide.

The worst battles we have to fight are between what we know and what we feel.

Sometimes the most important lessons, are the ones we end up learning the hard way.

Alone

Author's Note: This was are creative piece I wrote in the Writing Lab. It is about a boy who just moved north from down south and is standing in a field while it was snowing. But he feels alone, and it is not because he just feels sad about leaving he just truly is on his own. Let me know what you think:)


As the world spun around him, and the cold air blew, he was lost in a sea of white.

What in the world is this? He thought. 

Being as he had just moved north from the south, he had never seen snow in this sort of situation. There was no way out... he felt lost with no where to go. Like he was alone in the world, with no one around. In the dark there was nothing, no one, not anything at all. Just him in a wonderful world of white

As he stood in that field thinking, he thought about a lot of different things... about his life, about his family, about his new friends he made a couple of weeks ago, and about his old friends he had just left.

I feel alone he thought... like there is no one here to help me. No one understands anything at all, about me or about anything. Why do my parents treat me like i'm three years old with no where to go in life? Why do my friends new and old not treat me with the respect I deserve? Why is my life so complicated? These just must be one of those many different things we all must face... alone.

As he was standing in his winter wonderland. Almost like he was in a snow globe, a beautiful snow globe that contained everything about him. He was alone and not just because no one was there with him. But truly because no one understood him. This new place he was calling home was just as scary as he thought it was going to be.

Even though I feel alone... and I am alone... sometimes you may just have to do things on your own, right? 

Even though he never did find out that answer, he knew it was true, and he knew that he was going to have to learn to make it on his own. This is because he knew one day, he would be on his own, with out anyone there to guide him in the right direction.

Even though I am alone now. I won't be alone forever. He thought.

And this was held out to be true. He would not be alone forever.

But for now. At this point in time... he was alone. In his own little winter wonderland.
