Experiences

Everyday is an experience, some more memorable than others. I personally believe we remember the negative more than the positive because it affects us more. Experiences are meant to be learned from and to share with others so that in the future they don't make the same mistakes as yourself. I never had someone tell me I wasn't good enough or someone telling me I couldn't do something. I never had any major acts of violence against me so you can say I haven't had many of the same experiences of my peers or people in the past. But like many others I've experienced lost, sickness, unhealthy indulgences among other negative things we as humans grow from.

I can honestly say I grew up shielded from things some of my peers went through such as gang violence, poverty, and abandonment. I know as individuals they may be stronger than myself. In a strange and twisted world I am happy they went through what they did because it made them into what they are today which is good folks getting by in life.
