life is a tough lesson

For someboday else life maybe so easy for them to get on, but not for me. In my life i have to

learn lots of things that sometimes i really don't want to, but i have no choice cos i was born

to learn it and deal with it.But i feel greatful anyway cos i know lots of people have the

tougher life than i think i am. Thanks god that i've always can cheer myself up. Cos i have lots

of good friends, the spirit ones that make me always think positive about life i suffer.


Tue, 05/01/2012 - 01:44 Peruviansoul

Better this way :)

For somebody else, life may be so easy to get on, but not for me. I had to go through lots

of things in my life that, sometimes, I really didn't want to. But I had no choice because I

was born to deal and learn from them. But I feel grateful anyways because I know lots of

people have tougher lives than my life. Thanks God that I've always cheered myself up.

And thanks for having lots of good friends, the ones that always made me think in a

positive way during difficult times of my life.
