I'm making my way down memory lane.
I cry a bit.
I smile a bit.
I laugh a lot.

I watch the good and bad memories as I walk down memory.

I grab a photo off of my wall and stare at it.

It's a photo of my friend Claire and I. Well I wouldn't say friend. She barely notices me nowadays. A tear slips out my left eye, and I wipe it away using my left hand.

I stick it back onto my wall, not because I want to go back to how things were, but simply because it was such a good day that day and I know we will never have any that great again.

I grab another photo, this one of my friend Hannah and I, and I smile, because at least she stuck around.

I make my way through memory lane yet again, not because it's the last time I will be able to do so. Simply because I would just like to remember why I turned out the way I did.

I smile, I cry and I laugh as I make my way through memory lane. My smile gets bigger, as I noticed I have made more good memories than bad ones.

I smile, because one day I am going to tell an amazing story.

I smile, because without those tough and good times, I wouldn't be standing here smiling today.

I smile and not cry anymore as I look through the bad times. I smile because I'm better now. I have built myself to be better. I have made it.

I look through memory lane once more, this time I don't shed a tear. Instead I smile through it all.
