Everything Will Be Fine

I love the world I live in; I love the green trees, the blue sky, the bright sunshine and everyone who passes by with smiles on their faces. This is what I believe now: no matter how hard the situation is, everything will be fine. There is always hope guiding you to the bright future.

Once I was an upset girl all day long. Everything I thought was negative. I felt my parents loved my brother more than me. I thought my friend did not help me on purpose. I thought my low scores was evidence that my teacher didn’t like me. I read bad news in the newspapers and I just fixed my eyes on sad stories. Even the weather seemed desperate at that time because it rained a lot. The sky was also crying about the dark world, I thought.

I was under the control of a depressing mood for a long time until the day I visited my aunt in the hospital. I met a girl there who changed my life. She was sitting in a wheelchair when I first saw her. The first words that came into my mind were “so sad”. However, to my surprise, the girl was so optimistic that it seemed she wasn’t disabled at all. She told me that she cherished everything in the world. She believed that she would stand up one day, so she tried her best to enjoy everyday. I was really shocked by her words, because she was disabled. Regardless, she lives so happy. I am a healthy girl. Why did I spend my whole day being depressed? Then, I began to think after I went back home. I realized those bad situations were just my own thinking. I just paid attention to all the bad things but ignored the nice things. Obviously, my parents love me so much. My friend didn’t help me because many times I could solve the problems by myself. I got low scores because I really did a bad job on the test. And if I looked back at the newspaper, I would have found many warm stories there.

I then realized that the world is still nice. The only thing I had lost is my heart and my hope. So, just bring your warm heart with you and bring hope with you. Everything will be fine.
