I Want to Go Back to California

I Want to Go Back to California

I live in the United States. My family and friends are really important to me. I used to live in California. When my parents split up, my mom met another guy and married him. My mom decided to move to Illinois and take me along with her. Well, I find people are different here. I don't really like anyone. I started to get in fights and all that stuff. I really miss every one in California.

Then I thought that I should just kill myself but then my sister came to my rescue and stopped me. She told me that we should just run away. It didn't happen, instead we just spent a night outside the house.

Right now, I'm still here in Illinois, still wishing that one day I will be able to return to California and stay there all my life.

Sometimes, things happen in a way that we do not want nor expect them to be. When this happens, we should never let the unexpected things take control of our emotions, rather we should keep our head above every situation. So instead of being despondent, be positive about it.

I believe that there are a lot of things waiting for you there to be discovered. Do not waste the opportunity that is given to you now. Remember, opportunity knocks only once. So, grab it and do something about it. You can try to meet and make new friends, start a new hobby or even explore the place, since it is new to you. You know, it is not really the place that changes our attitude rather; it is our attitude that changes the condition of a place.

For the things that you can change, use your strength and might and for the things that you cannot, just accept it and let God’s peace reign in your heart. Be assured that in everything, God is in control and we just have to put our trust in Him. Read Section 5.06 of the Book of Hope and see the power of trusting in God.
