I will write more next time I am online. Untill then I hope this small microscopic portion will surfice for a while.


Wondering how things will end up for all eternity will serve you no good. You must experience the ending for yourself. If you just sit by the sidelines and  go nowhere how would your life have meaning. It's very hard to sit there and the great thing happen to everyone else. Sometimes you regret your mistakes and other time you don't. But something good always come after something bad. Or at least that's what people told me when i was a little girl. I heard it so many times that I decided it must be true. There are other saying that get stuck in my head. But that isn't the story. The story is not about some girl you think might as well just die. No I'm a gifted girl almost spoiled. I meet lots of interesting people. But some of these people are not worthy of my friendship. Or help for that matter. I cannot help but think that some people take their life for granted. Like someone who has everything and follows routine every day is  not someone who truely happy. They have the illusion that they are happy but they are missing something. Everyone is missing something and they don't truely die untill they have that something.

I could prove this to you by telling you or prove it by showing you. You see when my friend Sarahnetta Ragine had everything she could ever want she still wanted more. She thought that....... you know what I will show you.

"Sarahnetta, aren't you happy?" I asked.

She had everything a girl like her could ever want. Everything that I would want one day. I would get something that made me really happy one day but not this day. Anyway she never seemed to be happy. Not nearly happy enough. She had lots of beautiful material things. She had a good boyfriend who said he loved. But she still looked for something more.

"No, not yet. I don't have something. I just can't figure out what I'm missing but I know I am missing something," she sighed.

"Sarah, you are not missing anything!" I hissed at her," You have a great boyfriend, he loves you, you love him."

I stopped, something about her change in expression made me think maybe she didn't love him. I raised my eyebrows meaning to ask her what her expression said. But she ignored it.

"Sarah! Don't you love him?" I asked.

"He's a sweet guy and all but.....," she trailed off.

Translation for guys, when a girl says that it means "He's not what I want".

"Yes he is, and he cares for you; more than anything in his life," I said.

"Yes, but he isn't all that great....he's not perfect. I just need to find the perfect guy for me," she whispered to me.

"Sarahnetta!" I shouted," Why is no one good enough for you?"

"Keep your voice down!" she growled cupping her hand over my mouth.
