"Nothing in this world lasts forever." Yeah, for me it's so true because I've been experiencing it all the time. Sometimes, things could be yours, but there's no assurance for having it for a lifetime. People die. Love could fade away. Wealth could be consumed. Relationships could be ended. But only God knows when he will end our sacrifices and send us to heaven.

I was born with a Christian family. My parents taught me how to appreciate the blessings coming from our Almighty God. They always say that I shouldn't expect too much because it's better to have that little bit than have nothing. So I grew up with a strong faith.

My mom died when I was a child. I don't know what to do because I was the youngest child. I never thought that God was already taking my mom's life. "This coudn't be happening!" that was the only thing I said when we were in the hospital. But of course, there's nothing we could do but to cry and accept the fact that we are all gonna die, it's just a matter of time.

I have to continue my life. I have to finish my studies. I have to be brave enough to face the reality that my mom was already gone. But of course it's a graduall thing to do. I've been so stubborn, foolish, mean, and a very bad girl. I've had a boyfriend three years older than me. I've loved him so much. I always fight for him. I gave my everything to him but just like what I said, "Nothing in this world lasts forever." We've only been together for only two and a half years. I've tried to make it work but it's not worth it. Maybe because we were still young when we started to have a relationship that's why it didn't work.

When I started my college life, I've already started to do more unusual things. Like drinking every night, smoke, sometimes I slept at my friend's house, cutting and some other crazy stuffs. Then I've met someone who always takes care of me. I fell in love with him but honestly, I am still thinking of my ex boyfriend. Just like what I said, "Nothing in this world lasts forever." So we broke up. But I learned a lot of things from him. He made me stronger, he taught me the meaning of true love. He has the greatest love but it's not that easy to love again after a heartache.

I am stronger and wiser now, I became more responsible because of those experiences I've shared. I know somehow, there are few people that I've caused so much pain, but they helped me realized how to value important things. Because sometimes we are letting go of someone without even knowing that they mean everything to us.

Life would be better if we will know first the value of something, though, we should always know that nothing in this world lasts forever. :)
