Choices.

so lately i havent been blogging much because i've been reading a book of mine called "Chicken Soup: Tough Times for Teens". i'm gonna share my favourite story so far. it's called "Choices".

i'm not gonna type it out, but i'm just going to summarise it in a simpler way.

what happened was this; the protagonist, her name was Makaila, had this boyfriend and best friend, and they decided to go to this party. they have always liked going to parties and stuff, but they had never drink or did drugs, stuff like that.

this particular party though, Makaila and her boyfriend decided to drink a little. when they started, they couldn't stop. her best friend came along and joined in as well.

her boyfriend was supposed to drive Makaila home, and as drunk as he was, they made it to her doorstep, although her parents panicked like hell.

that night, she had a dream whereby her best friend also drove drunk, and had gotten into an accident. she, along with the truck driver that was also involved, died at the scene.

some time later Makaila received news that her dream came true. her best friend had died on the night of the party because she was driving so carelessly on the highway. it didn't help that the truck driver also didn't have his seatbelt on.

the man died, leaving behind a young son and a pregnant wife.

so the moral of the story, i suppose, is this: that whatever choices you make, it will not affect only yourself but the people around you. just imagine if Makaila hadn't made that choice to drink that night. could the whole accident have been prevented?

I may not have changed the world with my story, but I do hope that by sharing it I make people realize the responsibility they have to themselves and to everyone else out there. Don't ever think that your choices are yours alone. Every choice, whether good or bad, is like a pebble dropped into still water--each ripple represents someone your choice affects. That's quite an impact, isn't it? 

and yes, i do agree with that.

perhaps it's something to do with the phrase "what goes around comes around". that if you pass on a kindness, it will spread too, but if you decide to be mean or whatnot, the negativity gets passed on instead.

see, i told you already that choices are very important. i said this before, but i shall say it again in case you've forgotten; life is only from B to D; birth to death. the only thing in between is C; choices.

alrighty, i believe that's it for now. am currently just chilling in bed with a new tin of chocolate Hello Pandas and my book. o and i downloaded these apps called Restaurant Story and Bakery Story, and they... are... downright... addicting. *shakes head*

well then, smell ya later! *plays z Gary Oak approaching/exiting theme*
