Journey

Journey #1

"The journey through life is transitioning through things."


The quote above means a lot to me; I believe that it means that the life's journey is going through tough or challenging situations and being able to overcome and conquer them. This has been a recent theme in my life with my grandfather's passing in October. I was truly heartbroken during this time and did not know which way to turn. I did not feel like doing much of anything and I hated to talk about it to anyone because I wanted to be strong for my family and especially my grandmother (they had been married for 65 years). I missed a lot of school during this time because of him being in the hospital and me having to take care of my younger siblings while my parents were with him. When his funeral passed, I did not want to care for school and I wanted to just be over with it. But, I knew that my grandfather wanted each of his children and grandchildren to have the best education out there and to always work hard. With this in the back of my head, I knew I had to push forward and work hard for him and myself. This theme can relate to anything; however, in recent times, it has really broken the surface.
