Improved Essays
The way your life follows is just how you make it. Live everyday like it is your last. “Who are you to judge the life I live? I am not perfect and I don’t have to be! Before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.” Bob Marley, a singer, songwriter, and musician, is famously known for his amazing quotes, especially this one. His quote is stating be the person that you want to be. Do not ever live with regrets. Live your life with only yourself in mind. The most important things in life are not always the material things.

I am who I am today because of all the love and support I was given as a young child. When my mother died at age 40, I was ten. Having lost my mother at such a young age really affected me and my family. Being only ten and my sister being seven, my whole entire family all tried to join together and help out the big burden that we struck. So many people in my family gave gifts because they all thought they would help. Being only ten I was enthusiastic to receive presents and gifts. But now that I look back on that day and everything that I had received, I wonder why all of those people thought that gifts and flowers would help. I had just lost my mother, what makes them think that having presents would cheer me up. But of course me being only ten, that is not what I thought of. Family can be an amazing thing, and luckily for me, I have a great one. I see other kids at work or school, who I know are not as fortunate as me. I look at them in their eyes, and I can just see all of the hurt and loneliness inside them. Everyone needs to have a family, whether you are blood related or not. Not every family is perfect, but what makes it seem perfect is all of the love that surrounds …show more content…
He works out of town for most of the week except for maybe Sunday, so really, Sunday is all I am able to see him. If we did not have good communication skills, I honestly think that this relationship would not be working out.
Besides communication that we have together the level of trust is also there. Trust for a relationship is so important, because without it you would not be with that person. Trust is the confidence placed in a person by making the person properly held by the benefits of others. You need to trust your partner every time they tell you something. Even if it sounds sketchy, you should put faith in them. If you do not trust what that person is telling you, go and confide in them and tell them how you are feeling. Tyler and I have a very open relationship, and are able to put trust in one another. We are able to both put our hearts out and trust that the other person will not break them. Being like that, I am not always the best at opening up to him or putting my heart at risk for being broke. Though I have a lot of trust in him, sometimes I doubt that what he is doing or telling me is the

Women responded by ignoring or being completely quite falling in to stereotypical patterns of women.…
