My object is a picture of my friends. I met them on a teen tour that I went on 2 summers ago. They were my best friends. They were always there for me and really cared about me. I didn’t know if I would ever speak to them again let alone see them, but I did. We all stayed in touch and still today are best friends. There were times that we weren’t so close, but even them I knew I could count on them if I needed too. I love them a bunch and they give me the strength to go on sometimes. I look to my family and friends for support when I am down, and they give me the appreciation that helps me to get through my troubles. The poems and songs that I chose are all very inspirational to me. They show me that my life can be worse and to keep moving. They help me to always be myself even when others might say different. They aid me in valuing my great friendships. Some express the taking time out of life and relax as well as getting in tune with nature and cherish things you normally wouldn’t. One of my favorite songs Affirmation, by Savage Garden, has all these beliefs that I mainly agree with. Things like not letting a fight hang on over night, that we place our happiness with others, that you should be the one to love you the most etc. These songs and poems help me to look forward in life and keep me being a positive person.
