Fiction: Group 3
two equals four. After school, I go and play with Saul just to clear my mind and relax. Usually football. A
football was my last and only Christmas gift.
Even when I was sad and I needed to be by myself, the river was the best place to go. Not just because it
cheered me up, but probably because of what it did. Some time ago, this beauty was producing amazing
pearls, we’re talking the creamiest white colour as an extremely round and smooth. However, now it’s
done. It’s finished its work and is retired. Pearls don’t appear out of nowhere now. But what really matters
about this river is, even though it may be filled with black sludge and green goop, once in its lifetime it did
something amazing. So that’s what convinced me. Not only to live life to its fullest; but to stand out from
the crowd - be productive, smart - to be what you can only bring yourself to be.
So out of all of this, what’s so important? Well, just remember. If you’re like me, right now. Sitting in a
room, depressed, getting yelled at by mum, dad or even your sister, failing school - don’t be me. Don’t wait
for that one day to come where your life succeeds victory. Make it happen. Don’t just sit there and read, or
talk. Get up. Do something. Something productive. Something amazing with your life. Doesn’t matter if it’s
crazy! Or stupid! Make mistakes! Learn from them! Do something
awesome
! Do something that’ll make
yourself proud with yourself. Achieve something.
No matter whether it be producing beautiful shining pearls, or a line of chips or drinks, at least after you’ve
done something that makes you feel good, you have the right to retire and live the rest of your life as it is.
Because life’s too short to be paranoid about being judged. They will accept you for who you are.
—————————————————————————————————————————
Because that’s what important. Acceptance. Acceptance is better than rejection. And it doesn’t come to
someone naturally, like most things do. It has to be superficial, artificial, even. Something in your life
has
to
convince you that life is better than you think it is. Regardless if that ‘something’ is another human being,
an animal, an issue, ANYTHING! Or even in my case… A river. And that, is my story.
Thanks, Diary.
