Life Is Unfair

Choices

   Choices. People are given this decision. Whether it is what they'll eat to what activity they'll do next. Schools give the choice of either being lazy or actually putting effort. Jobs desire people with who they view as good for them. Activities to occupy you and the people you hold dear. It's everyday that we make a choice. As we know of, a choice has reactions behind them.
   Many people become fascinated with the stories. The plots are so good the readers wish that they were in the story themselves. Well, what if I told you...that you indeed are in a story? Don't stories have actions and reactions that develop the story plot? Think of one of your most favourite stories for me. Now, ask yourself this question. What if this character didn't act the way they did? Over and over, I asked myself this question. I found that removing one decision they made would have the rest of the story plot not really be that story plot. The same is with us. You yourself is the main character of your own story. Stories that we read are written in ink. The stories we write are written in the memories of the people who witnessed them or heard of the stories. The characters change their story by making decisions for themselves. As a character the main character of your story, wouldn't you want that?
    For so long, I've been taught how cruel the world we live in is. How many bad things happen. One day, I went to my mom crying. I was crying because I had these sick thoughts come inside my head...and I didn't like them. I asked my mom "Mom, am I evil?" My mom  had answered "No. You're not evil. Everything has a bright and dark side." When hearing these words for the first time, I only looked on the top. These words are trying to describe that everything will have pros and cons because every decision is weighed by these two things. Decisions are just a price that you see on the shelf. Going to the store, you'll pull of the cheapest product off the shelf. It's because you'll save more money. In the case of decision making, you're getting more benefits.
    I'm not trying to teach you how to make decisions. What I'm trying to show is the meaning behind these decisions. No one should be controlled by strings. No one should be caged behind closed walls. Not one person deserves that. No matter who they are they don't deserve that.
    So many times, I've heard how people will become like the person they don't want to be like. For example, I've heard people say that the victims of the abused will become abusers. I'm sorry, but that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You may be asking why would I say that. The reason I say that is because they have a choice to become the person they want to become. You might be saying it is impossible. All I have to say it is not impossible. Actually, it is possible. However, the work is extremely hard. Habits are hard to break. Daily schedules become subconsciously followed. Personalities are hard to change. As a character in your own story, aren't you tired of just...being tired of everything? It is your own story that you write with your own hands. I ask you...to write it. Please, don't give up. Not now at least. I ask that you give it a shot. At this point, what do you have to loose? 
    No matter what...decisions are the pen to your paper. It might be difficult, but giving up once it gets hard doesn't help either. I don't want to sound like those people who call people a wuss. I just care about you guys too much to let any of you give up when there you are meant to have a purpose. Believe it or not, hard times are just trails to make people stronger. Hard times are enough to make someone stronger, but not enough to make the heart stone because they'll never forget the experience they had. I'm not saying hold a grudge against people who hurt you. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying that fighting through hard times might be tough, but fighting through them to the end is worth it. Through the battle, you'll get exhausted in so many ways, but you'll be greatly rewarded. With this in mind, you have a choice. Either stay where you are and feel helpless all the time or fight to make the biggest difference in your life that will improve you. I might sound harsh, but moving forward is the best for anyone. Don't forget the memories that made you. Those memories...I'm sure there are a lot that you hold dear. It's the only thing left of that special moment in that time. With all this in mind, I challenge you with this. I want you to go, and face something that you want to do, but have been to scared to. For example, stepping into a store alone. Helping a stranger. It doesn't count if you do it everyday. Expand your comfort zone. Expand your comfort zone to explore things you never knew before. Completing every detail ranging from the smallest pebble to the biggest cliff, people would get bored of doing everything on repeat like a broken record. An example of this is if you and your friends said the same jokes over and over again every second of the day for years, wouldn't that get boring?
