Transcendental Writing

When I was asked to write this paper and to truly have to think about everything, I realized how lost in life I really am. I can only give you what I, believe, are the real answers. I’m at a trying time in my life. I’m going through ups and downs so this maybe change with in days or weeks or months. But one thing I can promise you is that I am working hard each day to find the real reasons of what my mission in life is.
As I look back on my life, I have realized that I am drawn to people that are struggling to find the joy in life. Many of my best friends throughout my life have been confused about what happiness was. It mostly started in 7th grade. I met a girl and we became best friends instantly. The more and more we became close the more I began to realize that she needed someone to help her to keep her going. She was looking for that hope in life. I had come into her life just in the nick of time. She was an amazing person and just needed someone to help her see that. Another friend of mine is my neighbor. Now when we were little we would play, but not too much because we clashed so much. We would get into fights a lot. But for some reason we became joined at the hip. I learned more and more about her. Finding that she was struggling with herself esteem. People were cruel to her. It got me so upset because they were so worried about her outside appearance that they were missing this amazing girl. She became bitter and distant from everyone at her school. We would do everything and anything together because of it. She struggled with depression but I never gave up on her. To this day she is a very happy young lady and is still one for my best friends.
I believe that God has sent me here to this earth because I have the strength to help people. I’m not one to give up on people easily. Many people would think I’m crazy for being friends, good friends with some of the people that I’m close with. Two of them have Bi-polar disease. That is not anything too easy to deal with. These people can, at times, be demanding. But they can’t help it and you just learn to work with it. They are all amazing individuals. They have a great senses of humor and are really good friends because they can sometimes see things that we can’t. They can open your eyes to life in a whole new way. Most of my friends have, at sometime in their life, struggled with a mental issue. But they over came it, which I’m hoping with my help.
When I look at life and think of what it is that I need to be to become fulfilled in life, I was immediately drawn to friends. Friends are a major part of my life. They’re part of my family, even though they aren’t scientifically related. They are what keep me going in life. Another thing is family. They are a big support. Without them I would feel so lonely, especially around the holidays. They give me great guidance and love me for me, no matter what. The third thing is love. Without love, from anyone, let it be family, lovers, or friends, me would feel so empty inside. It fills you with something nothing else can ever do. Love is so hard to explain because it means so many different things to different people. And the last thing is happiness. Without happiness I would become somewhat bitter and cold-hearted. I would never get to see life for what it is.
Without happiness you will never get to experience many things, like love. Happiness is such bliss that people should take hold of and run with it. Never take it for granted. I believe these four things all intertwine with each other and without one, you are empty in life.
