Ups and Downs

Ups and downs When I was born my mom always said it was the best day of her life. I never believed her, but in her eyes it looked like she was telling the truth. So I was the favorite kid (I believe). I got what I wanted all the time, but that's not what I wished for,even though she loved me ,we had our ups and downs and we continued to love each other. As I said, we had our ups and downs. I wanted no ups and downs ,I wanted peace ,I didn't want to fight because I know that people can go in a flash. You never know how much time somebody has left. New me We have been pinching pennies lately and I feel bad for all the people out there that don’t have pennies to pinch. I know how it feels, the feeling that your home you have been in all your life not being there for the rest. The feeling of a new school, new friends, different surroundings, it's that new everything. New me that’s trying to fit in. But when you're at home you don’t have to fit in. You can be you because your family will love you. I hope you like my story.
