A friend of mine wrote this for english class. I felt that it was quite inspiring and I hope that u will like it.
"Going through a time of harsh tribulations, I once wrote a paragraph to myself on my thoughts and feelings reflecting on everything that¡¯s happened over the course of early 2005. This paragraph reflected a lot of grief and stress that I had brought upon myself during that time of the year. In this paragraph I stated that I was going through one of the worst times of my life and up till now I can still agree with that. When I wrote It, I remember that at one point or another I felt as If I was helpless, useless, and completely unable to control my life. Drugs, alcohol, smoking, violence, family conflict, and education were all my problems at the time. Drugs, alcohol, and smoking were getting in the way of my commitments. Violence, family conflict, and my education made me want to drink, and do more drugs. At the end of it all I was left with no choice but to leave Calgary and find solitude elsewhere. It has now been about 10 months since I wrote that and as my body ages, my mentality does as well, along with the way I think, and the ideals and principles that I live by. At this time, I am glad that everything happened the way it did or else I would not have been blessed with the knowledge and experiences I gained from it all. I still write little paragraphs to myself every now and again so that when the time comes for me to read them again, I can always feel great to myself as to how much I¡¯ve grown up."
