Picture found on https://m.imgur.com/gallery/NHEhbq6      It is not mine in any way. Simply a picture for my rant.

The picture states that it's a perfect snowball. Right? Yes. It does. But nothing is perfect. Not even this snowball. I was in class when my teacher told us to chose a picture that we felt represented our lives in a significant way. I chose this picture. Wanna know why? If not, turn the page.
She asked me "Why a snowball?"

My response was, "Well. This picture represents a perfect snowball. But it's not perfect at all. This is why it represents my life. The smooth outside shell of the snowball represents the happy, easygoing times. But, lying on the inside are cracks in the not so perfect snowball. Those crack represent the hard times. When depression sunk in. When I lost someone most important to me. That's why I chose the snowball."

She looked at me as if I had just said something really deep and inspirational. I looked back at my photo and walked to her desk to grab some tape. I taped it to the whiteboard. She hasn't moved it. It's been 2 years since I put it there.
