Personal Narrative: My Fleeting Lifespan

Decent Essays
2014 and 2015 were my fleeting lifespan's worst years. No major, life-or-death events happened. I just have felt so very alone even amongst friends and family. I can't bring myself to talk to anyone about what I'm feeling, this whole bundle of negative emotions constantly accumulating inside me. Talking to people about what I feel just makes me feel selfish, knowing how others are suffering more so. I hate wallowing in my own self-pity but it seems to be my only salvation. I feel so selfish, so bitter, so antisocial, pessimistic overall. I try, try, try not to be what I am right now, but I keep falling into the same mentality. I can't trust people, I'm scared of being emotionally attached to someone. The feeling of betrayal and abandonment

    My key life lessons are that nothing beats hard work and if you treat others with respect, they will generally treat you with respect. Hard work and effort are the main aspects that lead to “lucky” things happening. Good things don’t just fall into people’s laps, the ones that have the most “luck” generally are those that put in the most effort and work. Also, I have learned that when you truly respect those around, they will respect you back and life is much easier when you aren’t doing things behind each other’s backs.…

    My biggest life challenge is speaking up and believing in myself. Growing up, I always played basketball because that’s what my family wanted all us kids to do.

    My Legacy and What It Means to be Great As my time here at Hazleton Area High School comes to an end, I am slowly beginning to realize that life will truly begin once I receive my diploma at graduation. After that day, I, as well as the rest of my class, will most likely end up going our separate ways, whether that be going to college and furthering our education or even going straight into a job. However, what most people do not realize is that our memories, actions, and achievements not only stay with us, but also stay here in this school.…

    Survival, by definition, means “the state or fact of continuing to live”, but personally, life is not all about surviving. What is life without experience? Day to day, people face harsh living conditions- children in Africa are dropping from starvation, Syrians seek refuge from a horrible war, and homeless people in cities need to provide for themselves and families. On a more serious note, there are even worse tales of survival and making it out alive from the past, especially in times of prejudice and warfare. One of the worst cases in history of prejudice, in our case against Jews, and warfare is World War II.…

    With the first month of the New Year slowly fading, the time is passing with a swiftness that is both anticipated and undesired. The past year’s triumphs and blessings were received with gratitude, but oftentimes shaded with drab shadows that hang over my existence. At times, I wallowed in its sweet anguish like a pig left to wallow in its own feces, and sunk further into self-examination. Too often, I passed the weeks under a dark cloud, wondering if or when the golden light of the sun might make its way back onto the landscape. I do not pretend to be rid of the darkness; I am not able.…

    My whole life I’ve been a little different. From the clothes I wear and the way I present myself, to the way I look at the world, I’ve always been somewhat peculiar. Not peculiar in a bad way, but in an interesting, provocative kind of way. I am the weird greenish-yellow crayon in the box that no one ever uses. I was born in Anchorage, Alaska.…
