When you feel this good, don't wonder when it's going to end. Keep pushing it to carry on. Until your mood becomes no longer a phase, but a part of who you are.

Hello and good afternoon. This morning wasn’t so pleasant to me, for the most part because I was really unmotivated and didn’t feel like going to school. I went on with my typical morning routine and as I was going to put music on, I saw a song on my Youtube feed that caught my attention. The song was called “Do you feel alive” by Raphael Lake and Ben Fisher. I listen to new songs every day and there’s some that don’t get my attention so I just put another one on, but this one was very different. I liked this song from the moment I heard it. I admired the lyrics, the beat, and just everything about it. The song says “I sit here looking at the stars playing games and chasing cars”. As my second semester of senior year started I really had to start thinking about college and what my future career was going to be, but I still don’t give a lot of thought to it. I realize that I’m growing up and in about a week I am going to be 18, I have to start getting serious about my future because when I’m older and I’m in a tough situation I might not have the support I have right now. In addition, the song says “Cause it’s the time to fight and not the time to fall”. This part of the song really stood out to me because I can really relate to it. I am currently doing my senior project and I am having trouble with it. Normally when I have trouble with school projects I generally don’t give it my all and I tell myself “I’ll just wing it”. Most of the time I’ll get a low grade and it’s not a big deal to me, but this project is different. This project will determine if I graduate high school or not. I have to try my best on this project and I can’t give up right now especially when I am so close to graduating. I have to give it my best and keep going. For all the people going through a struggle, any type of struggle, give it your all and don’t fall in defeat, instead strive on to get through the situation. You have to face the clouds to find the silver lining.
