Living life the best you can.

 

Hello beautiful boys and girls! So this blog post isn't meant to be sad at all, I'm actually writing this to encourage people to be happy! But if this does make you just a little sad I'm sorry and I hope you can look on the bright side of this post! So just three days ago a boy that I went to school with all throughout my life was in a motorcycle accident and died. He was only 19 but he had two beautiful children. Granted I was never best friends with this boy, I did have my fair share of conversations with him, that now knowing he's gone I will never.          forget. The first time I saw him was in sixth grade he was in my math help support group. He didn't hang out with a crowd I would normally hang out with, but when I tell you he was smart , I mean he was smarrtttt. Not in the book sense but in the way that he always knew the exact thing to say when you needed it said. We never directly spoke he just made jokes that I would laugh at and he would smile and do his work. The first time he spoke to me was in eighth grade when he over heard me talking about liking a boy who didn't like me back I was being the typical dramatic teenager and he turned to me in his seat and said " well then he's not worth it, find a boy who actually likes you, you're pretty but don't be stupid." And that was all he said. I was frustrated with him and went home that day and moaned to my mom about how he insulted me as I got older I now know he was just trying to talk sense into me. Eventually I didn't need the math help anymore and I didn't see him at all because of our different social groups. In high school we spoke a few times and he was still that wise, sweet boy who talked me out of going out with that that boy in eighth grade. Although we were never that close and I haven't talked to him for a few years I will miss Matt, he was too young and too kind to go so soon. I encourage all of you to tell your family and your friends that you love them and give that person who you normally wouldn't speak to a chance. One person can change your life. Even the small impact Matt left on mine has really caused me to think of how grateful I am for everything I have and for the fact that I'm still here. So please live your life as much as you can do, you can make amazing things happen just by saying one sentence to someone you normally wouldn't even speak to. So anyway have an amazing day and don't forget to smile.
