A Life Unexpected

 Adam Guerra, staff writer

We play Russian roulette with our life everyday.

The chances of anything occurring can happen in a split second or hours ahead of the unexpected. We all have the knowledge of overcoming the selfish motives of suicide or a self mutilated body. The chances we take every day mold our emotions and ultimately change our life in one way or another, depending on personality, that is.

Burdened with problems that stack up like bills, we endure the reality that is soaked into our skin, its toxic fumes taking so much out of our will for trying. Day by day, we rise like robots, and by the end of the afternoon we go back to our homes in need of recharging.

As human beings, we have to rise up against a terrorist in ourselves, the perfect human malfunction. Depression causes the death of many people. Even if it goes away, people still feel the sting of isolation that it brings. They feel the confusion and see the intimidating scars that it leaves in the back of their minds. Night after night, they wonder if the world would be better if they where gone.

Nonetheless, it would be wiser to introduce your own feelings to yourself, one day at a time before you can't recognize your reflection in the mirror.

There are countless decisions in our life regarding the amount of pain and struggle we can take. We rationalize the problems we have once been through, other then adding on to a problem, only making it harder on ourselves.

Is everything that we live for worth living for? Of course!

Its just the lack of confidence and support that brings us down to a level to where we are stuck in a hole. But we are just to blind to see the ladder right in front of us.

This is life; every minute of being alive. Every day is an unexpected surprise that life has to offer to you, so make the best of what you have in your grasp. Believe in yourself, and take the chances that are needed to succeed.
