We tend to see life as a give and take situation. More like, we can take what we are most generously given or what we mostly want, or in reality, we can take everything;our life as it is. Most people believe in themselves and give their lives meaning and make the best out of it; finishing Highschool and college, getting an education, getting a job, marriage, children, being happy, and that list goes on and on and on for ages. But in some cases, and by some cases, I mean in reality, people are given the life they have, and they deal with it, even though they aren't so lucky. Don't get me wrong, everyone has something wrong in their life: financial struggles, depression, abuse, and that list also goes on and on just as long as the good one, maybe even longer. But many of us relive our struggles from the past. As human beings we don't understand the realization of the present and the actual impact it has on us. I wish I could have appreciated that. So now I should tell you, my name is Eliza, I see life as a give and take situation, and this is my story, nothing special, but your the only one I can ever tell.
