This I Believe

As I pear into a shoebox a pair of small gray eyes look up at me. My heart flutters and I believe I have some creature to love forever. I glance outside in the pouring rain and I see a barren lawn with no life inside the hutch where I once had kept my comfort. I believe that having a family pet is the greatest sacrifice for children to devote themselves to. Not only is the quality of life that creature brings, but the hope and joy it brings as well. Having my bunny was my comfort for many years after my grandma had passed. Buggzy my pet bunny brought me out of the fear of death and into the light of life. Nothing in this world ever could of taken away as much pain away from me as she did. So when it came time to put her down, she had also taken a huge part of me with her. I believe that comfort can come from the simplest of creatures, the kindest of a kiss or a hug. My bunny gave me all that just by her being there for me to love.
I believe the greatest gift is the gift of loving. Not just romance love, but the kind I feel when my mom tells me that I’m doing great when I get home from school. The kind of love that I feel each time I see my best friend’s face light up when we share our stories. That kind of love is all I have felt so far in my lifetime. I don’t believe in fairy tale love stories, mine will be my own. I believe everyone has love to give, so to restrain your love is making your true love lonely and uncertain where you are. Being yourself wholesomely will be enough I believe.
I don’t believe I started living until I knew what death truly was. The gravity it pulled on my soul and the agony tore at me all night. I became fearful, and sooner or later I got used to the idea. My life is just temporary, oh well. This just was a wake up call for me a couple of years ago. This is when I began living for myself, not for what others thought I would be. I believe in myself and so far I have taken the harder paths in life to get my mind off of stopping. I feel pain, and I know that it is just my weakness leaving my body.
I believe that an active body means a healthy heart and a smart brain. Staying physically fit has always shaped what I choose to do. I rarely watch T.V. and I am mainly outdoors running. I get out of the house and do things with real people. All of these new video games have kids my age consumed. Instead of working my thumbs on the controllers I work out my abs when laughing with my friends. I believe that technology in teenagers’ hands is a bad idea, pen and paper work just fine.
I believe that wrinkles mean we have life shape us, and not have ourselves shaping our own lives. I believe that time is running out so while we still have some time change our bad ways. I believe forgiveness is the easiest way to free ourselves from regret. I believe in leaving a good impression.
