Although my life has only been a short sequence of fifteen years, I've come to heartily believe that life is only as good as what you make it. The effort I put in to be a good person has truly affected the outlook I have on life due to personal karma. These life lessons have recently come to my best attention and interests. True colors have surfaced immensely during the past two years that I have taken on the combats of high school friendships, relationships, and learning self-worth. Despite the
planted a seed in my head and made me think of why no one was saying anything positively meaningful. I looked back at my life and how I presented myself. I went so deep it hurt, and what I saw was a heartless, rude, and selfish b*tch, to be completely honest. I thought about certain situations and how I handled them, and then I thought, why am I this person I never wanted to be? I came to realize that I hadn’t dealt with everything I had gone through and everything I had seen in my life. I held it all
else, however, my unique life experiences have provided me with a profound level of understanding and acceptance. While I believe that our life experiences do not determine, or define who we are as individuals, I do believe that these experiences and the teachings they hold, sculpt who we become and the ways in which we approach life and interact with others). It is such experiences that allow us to create a deeper connection and profound understanding to the various pieces of life and the lives of
During my life I have had ups and downs, and I have been able to overcome them but I think one that stays in my head and have scars to look back on is when I had my first surgery, not a major one but one that I was too young for. At first I did not know what was going on with me, all I knew was that I was having very sharp stomach pains every single night that I couldn't even sleep, everything I ate I threw up, even water, and I started to notice that I was losing weight. For a while I just let it
On the other hand the first statement I choose that exemplifies my life experience is “I feel attracted and drawn or called to a spiritual journey” (Atchley, 2009, p. 64). There may be a stage in an individual’s life where they can be unfulfilled with the direction of their personal trajectory. I genuinely believe that the contemporary main-stream society we reside in places too much emphasis upon the pursuit/accumulation of material possessions, endeavoring to maintain a youthful appearance, the
practically already sleep walking; I looked like a zombie from an nineties movie.When I got to my room, I had a bad feeling and I decided to check on my brother who was already asleep in his bed. That's when I found him. That day, my brother almost died and it was the most meaningful experience of my life because I learned how to control my emotions in a moment of crisis and I saw a different side of my mother. The sun had gone to down already and I should have been in bed, but it was spring break
My life has been a crazy roller coaster with many events that have affected my life all in different ways. There have been times where my life has been at its highest peak in the world then it falls down, right into a deep valley. From the time my lovable younger sister came into my life to when my grandpa had a near death experience, I have learned many valuable lessons through the rough times as well as the more happy times. When I was a young girl, my mom had always told me the same thing over
Throughout life many if not all people will have experiences that change them in a meaningful way or teach them a valuable lesson that they can keep with them forever.In the year 2015 there were two primary events that had a distinct impact on me as an individual,and changed the way I processed not only life and death, but the way I processed everything.These events took place on valentine's day and October 12th which at first seemed to be normal days until I got a phone call.These phone calls were
Each day we all experience things that are extraordinary and sometimes unforgettable. Yet it's how we let those experiences impact us individually that makes us each unique. An experience in my life that changed how I acted, thought, and felt was the first time I volunteered at my church during their summer “scamp” sessions. The “scamp” sessions aimed to make the lessons correlate to things the kids would do during summer camps. Serving at one of these session allowed the year round volunteers to
Last weekend my beautiful friend Yamuna was married in a storm of confetti and colour and I have never experienced anything like it. The air was close and we spent the weekend in a haze of heat and sunshine, sleeping on a rooftop under the stars and celebrating their love. (I can't explain just how special it is to know that our first Indian marriage was the love marriage of such a dear friend). We travelled out to her village- a nine hour drive from Hyderabad- by semi-sleeper bus. The adventures
