Growing up - Teenager and Beyond

Hi,

I know that today won't be long and that however much I want to keep this day going I won't be able to because I can't stop the night. But I can make sure that I relish every second of every day and stop getting so hung up on all the bad things in my life. There are people out there with lives that are a million times worse than mine. I resepct the ones that are strong but also those who aren't because sometimes it is just too much. I greatly think of Anne Frank, who, even after hearing of the mass killing of her Religion and having to hide from people for years said something along the lines of, "Deep down I know they are good people." The optimism and happiness and love she showed in the times of difficulty astonished me and I think she is a very strong person.

Forever. Forever is a long time and I know that it's something I won't be here to see. I won't know how my life is going to end until the last second or maybe I never will. I don't know now whether we'll find a cure for cancer or if there will ever be world peace. There are so many things I don't know but this has never scared me at all. I am so unbothered about my own death but the only time I feel terrible is when I think of my family dying. I hope this doesn't happen for ages because I don't know how I'd cope.
