Summer Break-Personal Narrative

I was never a kid who always got sad, in fact I’m actually a pretty happy go-lucky guy, I never found a reason to be extremely saddened. Most of my friends thought of me as the guy who always smiled, and I had a lot of friends because of that, but if I do end up being sad it does affect me a lot, but I always tend to get over it really quickly. But I there was a time where it took me so long to get over something I lost. And it really brought me down. And it was through a loss of a family member. And that made me realise that life isn’t as perfect as I thought it would be.

As sad, and as difficult life can be always be sure to remember the good things in life, the things that make us happy, the positive side of things. Because as hard as life can be there is always a reason to smile. And my lesson is that even though life is really difficult and it can make you feel emotions such as sadness, don't let it take over you, you have to be strong, and look at the brighter side of
