There are some things in life that you will never forget; your first kiss, your graduation, when your parents got divorced, the first time someone asked you out, when you lost your virginity and so on and so forth. There many more moments however which fade from your mind quicker than you can say poo poo head and sometimes those are moments we would also like to remember. I can't for the life of me remember what that movie was I saw a few weeks ago taht I thought was so good at the time but now I can't even remember who starred in it. Your mind is a funny thing that some people, unfortunately take forgranted.

Your brain is the most precious possesion you will ever have. It allows you to do what you want, think what you want, say what you want, anything as long as you don't abuse it and provided you actually live out your potential. Potential, such an ugly word, it is everything that you could be if only you wanted it, if only you tried harder. It's extremely important to fully comprehend exactly how much you could be if only you were willing to work harder to get it because a surprisingly large amount of people waste their lives and what they could have been by not realizing what is best for them, and what they have the ability to accomplish.

I have self-esteem issues but I also know that I have my life ahead of my and I can be anything I want to be...to every extent. If I choose to be a rocket sceintist, if I love it, if I want it I can be it. If I choose to be a drug pusher on a street corner for the rest of my life I can do that too. I don't think that enough people, especially people where I live realize just how fortunate we all are and how much opportunity we have. I've seen many people choose to be the drug dealer rather than drag their asses to class and become the rocket scientist that they oculd have been. It is extremely sad when you see someone and you know just how smart this person is, how great of a person they are and just watch them throw their life away because they don't care. It's heartbreaking when you try and make this person see when they are so determined to be nothing, to throw all of their opportunities away because it seems they purposely make bad decisions and never learn from them.

I know how priveledged I am. I know that I have the opportunity to go to university and get a degree in whatever I should choose and I will not throw that away for anything because I understand that people on the other side of the world will never have the chances I have, they will never be able to sit in that classroom and learn. I know that I have to be aware that some people will never have what I have so I have to make the most of it while watching those who throw it away just shaking my head.
