I won the lottery with a jackpot worth $1,000,000,000. Putting the wide ranges of emotions rushing ecstatically throughout my system aside, I would first ensure my grandmama moves out of this dump of a living place and send her off somewhere she can garden happily. What I do next could ultimately determine the road I choose to journey in my life. I could:
1. Buy a beach house, drop out of school, get married, and perhaps live the rest of my life without stressing.
2. Keep some of it and the rest will go to hard-working families that demonstrate their destitution ( i know, horrible).
I assume that most would select choice number 1, simply because thats the easy way out. Some may find it satisfying to live a life when everything is given to you. You may have won a fast pass to the good life but on the other side, you may have lost something money can't buy: The genuine-ness (not a word) within people, and maybe even yourself. The people around you, the so-called new 'friends' of yours, what's their ultimate motive in being around you? Perhaps some you can believe that they are truly there for the your sake, yet on the other hand, can you really trust the rest? Therefore you live the rest of your life in doubt of everyone.
Life is full of surprises, experiences, happiness, challenges, etc. These are all things we all must go through to get the most in life. We fall only to see ourselves climb back up and feel that utter sensation of triumph. We lose the ones we love to consequently cherish the ones we still have. We learn from our mistakes so that we can fall harder in love, all over again.
What fun would it be if everything was written out for you? How much do you get out of life if you swing at every pitch thrown at you? How boring would life be if everything was perfect?
and plus, what's the point of all this fame and fortune if you don't have anybody worthy to share it with? Psh.
