Life is short, it is only four-letters long. When you think of life, you do not remember all of it. After losing my grandmother and grandfather at a young age, I became aware to the harsh realities that life brings along. When life gives you an opportunity, you should take advantage of it. You only remember the opportunities that you took advantage of, not the ones that you shied away and decline from. I lived life, hoping to be able to get through the day unnoticed. I realized, that despite my great efforts, that would never work. In this world, people will always find something virtuous, or something wrong with you. I had to make people aware of the extravagant qualities I held, or else I would soon forget them myself. One of the golden rules is to live life to its fullest, because you never know when it is going to be taken away from you. When life is taken away, you do not want to have any regrets, and last wishes, life should be a journey, a bumpy journey to be exact. These bumps in life make it unique, which makes it yours, although it is so short, if it is your life, it is your story. When it is your story, you get to be the author, and chose your destiny, along the cliffs of life.
