Acceptance In real life, we all as individuals go through trials good and bad that we are faced with. You gain and you lose. You either accomplish your fears and goals, or you never grow within. If you expect the worst, the worst will happen. You are your own stress, anger, sadness, and frustration. Of you let things bother you, they will. It’s up to you to make the best of every situation and accept what you can’t control; there’s always a reason behind it. Life is too short to dwell on negativities, so create optimism and live life to the fullest. It’s been awhile since I’ve really focused on the negativity that occurs on a daily basis, whether it comes from heartbreak, family, friend relationships, a bad grade in a class, or simply something that you genuinely care about. For me, my family is my everything whom I will do anything for. As I remember my childhood it was stable, having both of my parents involved with my two older brothers and I.

My dad continuously lied about this other women to my mother but still managed to see her every so often. My parents were on a roller coaster for months trying to work out their marriage, eventually it just became unhealthy for my brothers and I to feel the tension between them two.
