What's the purpose of trying so hard. You fail and fail, over and over again but always...get back up, for the things you don't truly like. What's the point in that?

The date was back at 27/11/2012. It was my last year of school. My teacher, Mr Blake went up to me. "Roslyn, what are you planning to do after you graduate?", he asked. My mind went blank. "Exactly, what will I do." I thought to myself. I had no plans, no destinations nor goals to achieve. "I'll think about it, sir.", I replied. As I walked past him, I started wandering around the school and looking back at the memories, it was fun. I went into my class. Sat on the very little desk and started looking afar into the distance.

I heard the door opening and it was my classmate, Lina. She was surprised to see me in the classroom. "What are you looking at?", she asked, with a confused look on her face. "Nothing much, honestly I'm just thinking about something.", I replied. Lina, being a person who liked to shove herself into other people's business said, "You thinking about your boyfriend or something?" she giggled. I was getting annoyed at her and decided to walk out of the classroom and ignored her.

She was surprisingly not very responsive after how I treated her just now. Even though I felt bad, I didn't really care. At 4:00pm, the school ended. Everyone including my classmates went home after waving goodbye to each other, as this was our last day at this school. It was sad but sometimes in life, we just have to move on.

Suddenly, as I was walking home, a car sped up towards me when I was crossing the road. The last thing I knew, it was pitch black.

I heard voices and cries calling for my name.

I woke up, I found myself lying on a bed. There were many people in front of me, they were surprised and some were happy. I was confused.

"Where am I?" "What's going on?" I thought to myself.

As it turned out, I got involved in an accident and was submitted to the hospital. I was at a loss for words when I found out I had been asleep for 3 days. The doctor walked in, he checked up on me, asked some questions and making sure that I was okay. I was- until the bad news came in, I was prepared to hear it. But who would've thought...that it was gonna be this bad. There was a critical injury that I received after getting the hit from that vehicle. As I was sent flying by the car, the impact made my body weak. After hearing that, I knew I couldn't have the same life as I did before.

"Why must this happen to me? What have I done wrong. Is this my destiny, my fate or the path that god was suppose to give me? This must be a mistake." as I grunt and sighed.

"Cheer up, honey. No matter what problem comes, I will always be there for you." my mom said to me as she brushed through my black yet smooth hair. Her voice was like a lullaby, sang by a fairy in a fantasy world. The soothing melody that flows, filling up the horizon. It enlightened my hearts, so I was able to calm down.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

"Thanks mom." I said as I hugged her. That's right, I should be much more optimistic at times like this. Cheer and motivate myself up, just to know things will go better....right?

That's what I thought...

---------- A WEEK LATER ----------

I was discharged. The whole week I spent there was boring, just laying in bed, reading books and stuff. Some of my friends visited me, I was happy that they did. We had fun talking together in the ICU room. But now, I am finally back home. It was great getting to walk around freely but my body was so weak, that I always feels tired. It was bothersome but it was my fate. As I do not need to go to school any longer, I hanged out with my friends in the nearby city. Others went to find a part time job to work at while waiting for their university application to be approved. I was impressed by the dedication put by them just to get a decent life.

"Hey Yuu, what's the point in trying so hard?" I asked.

"To make sure that you can get what you want." Yuu replied.

"What if they failed in the end? Doesn't that make them looks like a loser? After trying so hard just to get the things they want but unfortunately, they couldn't. Also, wouldn't they just give up?" I replied profusely.

"Heh- you really thought of that huh? Well if that's so, then no. It doesn't make them look like a loser because getting what you want, isn't that easy. But what you said was not wrong and wasn't right either. After failing, you were given two options. Try again or give up. Mostly would have given up and pick an easier path but others could pick the option to try again no matter how many times it will took or how hard it will be as long as they can get what they want." she replied.

"But is it really what they want?"

"What?"

"Our friends are working hard just to get a decent life but is it really what they want? All those hard work, just for a mere sad life living normally?"

Yuu stared at me, she reflected on what I said, "I have never thought about that- wait yeah you're right. Some want to be a singer, actor, artist and a lot more awesome career, but yet they couldn't. Those are just dreams that will never come true. Reality can be harsh sometimes-"

"Haha, you went into thinking mode there but yeah. What I said wasn't wrong. It is a true fact and will always be." I interrupted.

She smiled. "Well it's 8pm now, let's go back home shall we?"

"Yeah."

As the conversation ends. It was time for us to head back home for the night. Her presence faded away into the crowd as we begin to move on. It felt as if I would never met her again.

As I've arrived at home, I was greeted by my mom. "Welcome back, Roslyn." she said. Just listening to her soft voice that enlighten my heart and makes me feels safe and comfortable. "I'm back, Mom." I replied. I went to take a shower and head to the kitchen to have dinner. As we sat down at the dining table to eat.

"So, how was the day?" she asked.

"It was fun but overall tiring." I replied.

She had the smile of a goddess. A smile that can brighten up the whole world. We could had stay like this forever.
