2. Something you feel strongly about.

Life.

I feel strongly about every aspect of life, from conception to all the way til death. It’s one of the greatest gifts we have because it’s around us, and it’s so strong, inspiring, and beautiful. But it’s also so delicate that life should be protected, you know? From abortion, to suicide, to random killings, to even abusing and wasting it away. So it becomes disheartening to see people take advantage of life. 

People are always in a rush to grow up so fast and end up forgetting to pause to see if that’s what they really want out of life. Life can become so much of a competition that we forget it doesn’t have to be. Take your time. Learn to wait. Don’t abuse it. Don’t tempt yourself into so many things in this world that can damage you. It’s so sad to see people give up so easily on life. They throw it away and give into their inner demons when things aren’t so easy.

Life isn’t meant to be easy. If it’s easy, you learn & gain nothing. It’s those hard parts of life that truly allow everyone the chance to appreciate the beauty that is granted to us each day. It’s those parts of life that gives everyone strength and hope that if we can make it through that one hardship, we can definitely see through the rest. I respect those so much who were at rock bottom but found themselves again. 

Of course, I’m not saying I’m strong everyday. I do feel lowly and weak to the point where I couldn’t care less about my own life, where I want to shut myself out from everyone, where I don’t treasure the good things I’ve been blessed with. But I rise from that and try to defeat those things that bring me down because, when it comes down to it, I love my life and everything that comes with it. So why should I give it up?

So defend it, love it, learn from it, fight for it, grow from it, and live it.
