My Family, My Friends
A lot of people in life think that the things they can’t live without are like makeup or clothes. For me, I couldn’t live without the loving and caring support system that I have around me. My family and friends have always been so supportive for me in everything that I do and I’m so thankful for that, life wouldn’t be the same without them. Whenever I feel like giving up my friends are always there to make sure that I feel empowered, strong and brave. They encourage me to face my worst fears even if I think I will crumble and break. Sometimes my fears make me feel like an old brick house, broken and worn down. My friends make me feel like I am this wonderful flower standing taller than the rest, towering above all with power and beauty. Facing my fears and chasing my dreams like an eagle catching its prey. I couldn’t live without my parents and their love that they show me. My parents have always been there for me, through my astonishing achievements in sports, band and school. They are also there for me in heartbreak and disaster. They lift me up when I don’t even know that I am in need of saving. One of my best friends who happens enough to be my boyfriend helps me with more things then I could imagine. Sometimes he will randomly come up and hug me and without knowing I needed one I instantly feel better than I did before. He finds new ways to make me feel strong and beautiful. He lets me do my thing that way I can be spectacular and find ways to be myself that are out of the ordinary but that fit me to a tee. I am and will always be thankful for my family and friends that are around me. If I didn’t have the people that I do in my life I don’t honestly know where I would be in life. I feel like I would be just this lonely shade blowing in the breeze and no one would ever really notice me or care to hear what I have to say. So the thing that I could never live without more than fancy clothes or makeup is the people that make me who I am as a person and who continue to see me grow everyday into my own person as I am coming closer into being an adult.

I want to have a support group around me that will help me be stronger and not tear me down or make fun of me for being myself. I am someone who likes having empowering friends by my side and who loves to encourage others.
