I’ve come to realize that things in life will never be easy. Growing up you face challenges emotionally, physically, and mentally. These challenges can make you stronger and eventually teach you a valuable lesson about the reality of life. I believe the most important aspect in life are the relationships you build and maintain. Life isn’t exciting and adventurous when you live it on your own. Every relationship has it’s ups and downs. Facing challenges and confronting problems help mold a relationship. I never knew I’d be able to know what love felt like at this age. I continue to learn everyday what it means to sacrifice and nurture a good relationship. It takes time and a lot of effort, but love and companionship teaches you the reality of life.
