When something knocks you down, get right back up. It's not the end.


As I walk barefoot along that coblestone road, memories came over me like an ocean wave. When i went to Florida, my birthdays, meeting friends that I still have today, first day of middle school and soon to be high school. It wasn't just memories that came over me. It was my life now, in the past and future. What is life anyway? Is it a time to have fun or make mistakes? I really don't know anymore...Have you ever had that feeling that you just don't belong? Everything you doesn't matter anymore? No one cares or no one wants you around? Well, that's how I feel lately. As I keep walking along that coblestone road, I noticed the things around me. How every tree is different by size and height. but unique in it's own way, the way the birds would chirp almost like creating a melody, the way the yellow, red, and orange autumn leaves rustle along the ground. Even the sky is its own. As you get older, you start to realize more that you are unique in your own way. Not just you, everything else, like the sky. One day it's sunny, the other rainy. The sky can kind of relate to us too. Just think about it. I guess we'll never know the real, true meaning of life.

It would be easy to say that the pants changed everything that summer. But looking back now I feel like our lives changed because they had to, and that the real magic of the pants was in bearing witness to all of this and in somehow holding us to get.

Good job Becca-Boo luv ya
