Life. is hard... And I for one know that.You're busy, you're friendless, you're partying one minute, the next you're alone, you're heartbroken, you're surrounded by friends, you lose friends, you struggle in school, school is easy, you miss your family, you miss the past. But then one day, I walked into my kitchen and saw this quote hanging on the wall. "When life get's too hard for you to stand; kneel." When you feel you're alone or like no one cares, He does. And he's always there to listen. He wants to be your best friend, he wants you to trust him, he wants to be a major part of your life, and he is ALWAYS there to fall back on. A certain trial I've had most recently: is having a best friend. A best friend who is your eyes and everyone elses' is perfect. She's gorgeous--she gets loads of attention--she can have any guy she wants in the snap of her fingers--she can sing better than anyone I know--everyone loves her--everyone wants to  be around her--she's perfect. And I'm the best friend. The opposite of everything she is. Sometimes I think she's only best friends with me because she feels bad for me. And it's hard walking around with her anywhere because she's the main highlight. And I just stand there awkwardly wishing in my mind I could be more like her. I go home often discouraged and sad that my best friend, really isn't my BEST friend. Then, I walked into my kitchen and saw the quote on the wall. And I did just as it said. Because He is my best friend and He understands like no one else can. And I realized something. He loves me, because I'm me. Not her. I'm a daughter of God and I was shaped and molded EXACTLY how I was supposed to. I shouldn't try and be someone else. Because I will never be them. I'm Amy and no one else. A friend I treasure and hold close to my heart once said to me, "You were born an original. Don't die a copy." And it's stuck with me. And so everyday I try and live up to my potential. I'm me and no one else. Life. is hard... And I for one know that.You're busy, you're friendless, you're partying one minute, the next you're alone, you're heartbroken, you're surrounded by friends, you lose friends, you struggle in school, school is easy,  you miss your family, you miss the past. But I can sum up life in three words.... "It goes on."
