"The Best When"

If I could transport anyone I wanted, wherever I wanted, I would definitely pick wisely. I would deeply consider my life, it's current situations and who I know I could really spend that time with, to just pick up and get away. Picking something childish like a celebrity, is something I would never do. Yes, don't get me wrong.. it would be great to be trapped on a beautiful island with David Beckham, but it's just not realistic or satisfying for me. People I actually know, and have good relationships with would be a better choice for me. I would want to be surrounded with people I can actually talk to and that I know I'll be able to have a good time with. People that are actually there for me when I need them, because I definitely wouldn't want to be in a new place, where I know hardly anyone, with someone that I can't completely rely on or trust.


Firstly, I would love to go someone that's far away from Niagara Falls. I've been here too long and would love to get away, within the restriction that I could take whoever I wanted, which is the case here. I would probably have to pick Italy. I've never been there and I'm not even Italian, but the culture seems beautiful. It seems like a great place to experience and a great place to get away and start a new life, with all the people I need in it. I've heard great things about Italy from people I know that have visited and it sounds absaloutely breath-taking. It's a place I would definitely love to experience.


The people I would take, would be a small amount. Firstly, I would have to take my mother. Though we don't have the greatest relationship right now and seem to have a lot of falling outs, she's still always there and still loves me for me. My mother has always kept in contact with me, even when we can hardly be civil in person. Currently, we haven't seen each other in over two months, but we still text all the time. We love each other and will always have each other's backs, but there comes a point when everyone fights and it just takes time for us because we are so similar. I think getting away would give us a chance to get away from this town and the negative influences and get a clean slate, a chance to have a great relationship again.


My grandmother is another person I would have to take. She's so influential on my life and although she's getting old and frail, I think going away would be a great experience for her before it's too late to do anything like that. I owe her that to get her away to enjoy life one last time. Even though her breathing problems stop her from taking flight, I would find a way to get her there, that would make it easier on her. She would love to visit such a beautiful place and feel young again and I would love to give her that feeling. I respect her so much and it would be a great way for us to spend some quality time together, before we no longer can.


Currently, I have a live-in boyfriend, that has completely turned my life around for the better. It might be crazy for people to hear that I live with my boyfriend, but it's a great relationship. He pushes me to do good in school and wants me to do good with my life, which is something I really needed in my life. I would love to just get away with him and experience the world. We both know that the falls isn't for us and we can't wait until the option comes to leave this place. This would give us that opportunity. Some people say that I'm too young for love, but I really found it. It's not the childish love, where after a week you're head over heels. It was the type of relationship that took a lot of time and once we got there, it was great. For all of his support and help that he's given me to get through things, I would owe it to him to take him somewhere great.


My last pick would be my best-friend, Ashley. She'd be a great person to take away. She's been there for me since we were only in grade three and we've been together ever since. When I had no place to go, she took me in and helped me and I really respect her and her family for that. I couldn't ask for a better friend than her. We've been in fights, but who hasn't. They've done nothing but make us stronger in the end. Not only would it be extremely fun to take her with me, but it would be something that I almost wouldn't want to even experience without my childhood friend by my side.


Getting away to such a great country would be amazing. It would be an experience like no other and I would love for nothing more than to experience with the people I love most in my life. One day I hope that we can all actually get away and go somewhere, but for now, it's just a hope. I've only traveled as far as Myrtle Beach and going somewhere that's a new foreign country would be so exciting. It would be a life changing experience, and I would love to give those people the opportunity to experience it also.
