Ups and downs of life

Each person goes through ups and downs. Let me tell you a story....

Once upon a time there was this girl who had just joined a family who already had 7 kids, they adopted a little boy who was a year and a half younger than her. They were the biggest family in their church, continuing to expand, they added 4 more kids, which were birth naturally and healthy by the mother. So much trauma had already been built in the young girl's life that it became a rocky start with the family. You would think the story gets better... Well for awhile everything was going great..the young girl started to adjust to being in such a large family. But by the time she was 10 she discovered sharp objects in the way that was harmful. By the time she reached the age of 13 she became a different person, lost joy and life in things she loved most. Most importantly her family.. She started resenting them wishing for she was never a part of the wonderful family she was given. By the time she turned 14 life just kept getting worse and worse but she chose to do something about it. She devoted herself and time to be around people who were discovering life and new things. She discovered that it was the only thing that made her feel happy inside and not just on her face. She started mentoring with a friend who became one of her closest friends. Life was slowly getting back on the right track. Her past life seemed to be a thing in the past...

Life has a way of putting so many things that make it harder for you to want to go on but it doesn't have to let it be the only thing you see. Look for the good things and go for them.
