The Month of March

March was always supposed to be my favorite month. It usually is. But this time it's different. I don't really understand why, but everything seems to be going downhill. My whole family pretty much has a birthday in March and March is when all of the basketball excitement comes around, but I'm finding it hard to get excited. My mom gave me some news on my birthday which just ruined everything. I couldn't even act happy because I was so upset. I'm not complaining or asking Why me? because I know that stuff happens to everyone. Everyone goes through things in their lives and you just have to deal with it. I think it's just a little weird how it all comes at once. I don't think there is ever an obstacle put in front of you that you don't have the ability to overcome. It seems hard at the time, but eventually it will go away. At least, you can only hope that it will. I guess things are getting better. They seem to be getting better for everyone else so that's a plus. I'm just afraid that it is a temporary fix. You never know when bad things might come back. That's what I am scared will happen. I just want all the bad things in the world to go away forever, but that can't happen. I think the bad stuff we go through just makes us stronger. I know that some of my experiences have made me realize how lucky I actually am. I complain all the time, but I have no reason to. My life could be way worse than it is. Compared to other people, I have a fantastic life. My best friend has really showed me that I take things for granted in my life. She talks to me all the time about what she goes through and I have realized that I have parents who truly care about me and are just worried all the time. I have a great life at home that some kids don't have. I guess it is time to look at the positive side and stop complaining. I will be stronger by the end of it all.
