A Life So Great.

And I can tell you now that when I moved to Haverhill I didn't think my life could be this great.. And I didn't think great people like this could come into it. I thought I would never be able to move on from the friends and the memories I had in both Georgia and New Hampshire. I would cry myself to sleep or sometimes I wouldn't even sleep at all. I'd stay up all night, restless, and looking for somebody to talk to to take my mind off things. No matter who I went to though.. Nothing helped. Nobody could ease the pain I was feeling. I just wanted to start school again and find a new home. I wanted new friends again. Not that I personally wanted to start over in a new state, but I had no other choice. There are times when you have to think to yourself and realize that you have to take what you can get. Nothing comes easily and when you have an opportunity for something you need to take it. Whether it's making new friends all over again, starting in a better school, a job, a new life, or a new look at the world around you. No matter what obstacles you run into or what hits you on the road down your path of life, you have to keep going. You need to pick yourself up, dust off your knees, keep your head high, and just keep going.

Don't listen to what other people say as they try to bring you down. Because eventually you will find people in life that will love you for who you are and what you want to do with your life.You'll find family and friends you didn't know you could have later on in the future. And they will encourage you. No matter how much you want to block them out because you might not like taking advice that isn't your own, you know deep inside that it's the right advice and you should live by it. Eventually I took this advice.. I picked myself up.. I stopped my crying and my whining about how it wasn't fair that I was being torn apart again.. And I went to school and I put on my smile and made new friends. Which brought me here today. I've actually got a family.. Something I couldn't reach in Georgia.

And I feel that they love me. Grandparents.. Uncles.. Aunts.. Cousins. And I've got the family I've had for my past almost 15 years of my life in a place to live. No more being homeless. No more not having money to pay our rent. They have jobs and we are a stable family and I love that. Because truthfully.. We weren't before. And the new friends that accompany me now have really made a difference in my life.

By smiling and being myself around people in school, which I normally don't do, I acquired a friend. One that now I call my boyfriend. Almost two months now.. No arguing or anything.. Because we talk things out. He's my best friend and my boyfriend.. And I couldn't ask for more.

Not only that, but his family is so welcoming and so funny and they make me feel comfortable to be around them. I had never felt so welcomed into a family that I had just met. And I've made a few memories with them.. And I really can't wait to make more. Not only with them but the family I hadn't gotten the chance to make memories with until now. I'm starting to love this new life I've made.. And I'm not starting over again. I don't want to ever move again. I don't want to have to make new friends.. Get into a new school curriculum. That's just not for me. I'm happy where I am. I'm settled..I'm at peace. <3
