Making Memories
When something major happens in life we always look at the negativity thats happening, however I try to see the most beautiful things in life. On August 8th 2021 my best-friend had taken her last breath, and although it tore many peoples lives apart day by day. I was able to step out of my comfort zone and take a plane and adventure to a new city and state Billings Montana.
During the fall season in October theres was a funeral arranged that took place in Montana, I bought a plane ticket and booked a hotel and went on a adventure ill never be able to forget, during this fall season it was so beautiful, nothing like iv ever seen in Arizona, looked like it came straight from a movie scene. Theres were beautiful colors every where, ginormous oak trees with the longest branches hanging off, and the most detailed roots buried under the ground ands peaking out through the dark brown dirty. The weather was different it had the cool breeze to it, it was like a fresh breath it wasn’t thick and cloudy like clean air you were breathing in.
- Go, go out with your loved ones, and never take them for granted. Be excited about the things they love. Don’t allow your fear hold you back.
- Always find the positive in a negative situation.
I now love to travel to new places since taking this spontaneous trip for her, she has opened me open from my box, and even though she’s not here with us today I know she’s by my each and everyday pushing me and now I live for her. In whatever you do in life always fine the positive in things even its small.
