Our achievements and our failures can scare us in the long run but we just have to find a way to reassure ourselves that we have done what we have done and that we will do what we will do.
We are all powerful, we all have the power to control our lives and sometimes some parts of other peoples, I know that my family has power over mine.
Nelson Mandela said "our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate but that we are more powerful beyond measure and it's our lightness not darkness that frightens us."
When I read this I took it as the lightness is our future and darkness is our past which made me think of "There is always light at the end of the tunnel."
My future frightens me, I unsure where I am going to be but I do know where I have been. We don't know what is in the light at the end of our tunnel but we do know what is in the darkness at the beginning of the tunnel. I am most probably not nearly half way through this tunnel, I expect much more to happen in my life and that I have many more different things yet to experience.
When you get to the end of the tunnel you are happy and you have experienced everything you would like to and you have overcome everything you have been afraid of.

Where did the youth go?
When we are young we wish to grow up and now that we are grown up we wish to be young again.
When I watched Peter Pan when I was younger I never fully understood why Peter Pan didn't want to grow up, it was all I ever wanted to do, to be on my own and not get told what to do when to do it. Now I want to be younger, to play games with my brother and not fight like we do now, when every other weekend was reserved for my dad and now we don't even speak, my mom and I on the other hand are a lot closer than ever now.
Yes I am happy with where I am now but when I was younger I didn't have to worry about getting good marks but rather about colouring within the lines, I didn't have to worry about broken hearts but rather about a scrapped knee, I didn't have to worry about fake friends but rather sharing my crayons with someone who wouldn't loose them, I didn't have to worry about overthinking in the middle of the night but remembering to feed my dog when I wake up and even if I don't, mommy will.
"Being a teenager is overrated, according to our parents we are to young for love, too old for 'fun', too mature to act dumb and too immature for 'grown up' conversations and you wonder why we are so rebellious?"

I'm Trying
I'm trying...
Personally I have always liked this phrase. It is not as exact as "I can" or "I can't", "I'm Trying" is a possibility. This means that you may or may not see accomplishment in the end but at least you are trying. "I can" means you are able to do something, "I can't" means you are unable to do something but "I'm trying" means exactly that, you are trying so that eventually you are able to say "I can" or "I can't" but knowing you did try.
Me? I'm trying to be me, yes it should come easy (The fact that I am me) but in the new world with comparisons and competitions about beauty or IQ and most things like that, being the true me is difficult, I don't even know who my true self is, I have multiple personalities like:

- When I'm with my friends
- When I'm with my family
- When I'm with him
- When I'm alone
- The least you could do is try
- Try new things
- Try to be the true you
