Persevering in the Search

Throughout life everyone finds things that they hold dear to them, whether it’s a hobby or a sport like hockey, or the love shared between two people like your mom and dad. It could even be the love for a band or music. No matter what, we all strive to make them a part of our life and dedicate our time in perfecting and finding ways to improve our love for them. Although it can be easy to love things at first, often over time we struggle with our feelings and emotions and don`t know how to communicate them in a positive way. We want to give up on the things we love when times are hard or things don't go our way because it is easier that way. We feel as though if  we just gave in to the anger and frustration we could somehow just move on and forget about it. In actuality this is the wrong approach because when we give up on the things we love we can never truly move forward with our lives because we have nothing to truly look and work towards. We have to look within ourselves to find the courage and hope to persevere and work hard even when we're at our breaking point, and our desire to throw things across the room. We have to sit back and take a breath and realize that if we give up, we will look back and regret what we have not done. We'll wish that we could have found the strength and hope within us to continue and try harder even when we were frustrated and wanted to give up. 

In my own life when I attempt to do the things that I am passionate about and love I give it my best, but there are always times when I’d feel like I wanna rip my hair out and run away.  For example, when I practice on the piano and I just can’t seem to get the notes right I tend to lash out. I have to stop for a minute, breath, and get it together. I always hope for the best and find the courage to continue playing even when every part of me wants to quit. I know if I don’t practice I’ll regret it in the future and feel bad about it. This is one of the many reasons we need to stop for a minute and take our time with what we love in life. Another example would be the relationships that I have built. I am amorous towards my girlfriend, but our relationship was not grown perfectly there were times when I was frustrated and didn’t know how to act and often felt compunction afterwards. There were circumstances that forced me to have to stop and  think how she felt which made me realize how I needed to deal with a certain situation. It took hope and courage that I had to search hard for within myself to break free of my own selfish ways and to evolve into almost a different person so that I could show my love and appreciation. When times were not going so well I had to find hope in the situation and hold onto the feelings that liberated me from the struggles that I faced. I had to pursue the courage inside myself to step up and change the way I looked and thought about the situation so that I could find happiness for us even when there wasn’t much. With all the hard work I put into the things that I love great things are always a result. The same goes with my friends. We all have our opinions and disagreements, but we always find the courage to accommodate and deal with each other in a mature way. 

In conclusion courage and hope are necessities when it comes to working hard for the things that you love. Without it we can’t fully indulge and realize what we have to do to love. The image shows that love, courage and hope all come hand in hand with each other. They work best when you use them together. 

I also chose the song "Till I collapse" by Eminem because he is saying that no matter what he is not going to give up because of what anybody says. He's going to do what he loves and that is busting rhymes.
