Any man who hasn't found something worth dying for hasn't started living~ Grandpa

I climbed towards the stairs leading to the upper floor of the old building, grimacing at the dust-covered furniture, broken boards and disheveled books. Then something caught my eye -a book- yes that book I have so long searched for and tried to forget. The book of long-forgotten memories which still beckoned to me. As I reached for it, the long held tears threatened to spill, to give away my pent-up emotions, but I held on.
Wiping off the dust on its surface, I saw the one thing that kept me moving those times -a smiley face sticker- though the book's colors have faded, the sticker still gleamed alongside the words: MY LIFE. At this point, I gave way to the tears as I cried it all out.
Then I heard the floorboards creak causing me to turn at the sound. That's when I saw them..the factors that kept me strong though I almost lost them through certain inaction... They were and still are my friends...
