In This Life Estrellita Pacheco, 18
“When life gives you lemons make lemonade” “ live love laugh” all these sayings mean the same thing, just worded differently. While we are living in this universe we should make as many memories as we can. Explore and do everything and anything. Let the people we love know that we love them. Every obstacle in life teaches us something. In this life I have learned that life is a gift, but I ask myself if life is a gift then why can it be taken away from us? This question lingers in my head all day everyday. I ask the people around me and they all say similar things, “Because that’s how it is, so enjoy what you have”. When people say this my brain wonders and it tells itself “I should listen to them, they have lived longer than I have”. I believe that our brains are like a camera. Where we can capture what we want. Funny moments, sad moments, even recordings (Videos). while we are alive we should love. Love even when you argue with your siblings because they stole a piece of clothing or because they ate the food that you were saving. Love when your mother is cooking and the aroma of the food fills up the whole house. Fall in love. Laugh when people make jokes. When someone whispers in your ear. Laugh when you are crying. Laugh when you trip or when someone else trips (even though it’s not right). Laugh when the atmosphere is awkward. Laugh at the dinner table. Lastly, live. Live through all the sorrows, anger and happiness. In the bad and the good. Live when you are In love. When your significant other makes you feel things you never felt before. Be brave. Tell that boy you like him, eat a container of ice cream. Live with no regrets because one day when we fall into a deep sleep, at least we took life by the hand and ran with it.
