Alright, alright, alright, I know what you’re thinking. This is a man blog; or rather a seventeen-year-old boy blog. Actually, I’m not entirely sure what this is. I’m not exactly sure what I am, in fact. I’m a seventeen-year-old high school senior. What does that mean? I definitely don’t feel like I’m a man; there’s no such thing as a seventeen-year-old man.
While I may not know exactly what I am, I feel that I know who I am. I am myself. There’s no one else like me. I live my life.
Living my life may go unnoticed by the majority of the people who see me on a daily basis. I assume that most people who know who I am have no idea who I am. I am seventeen years old, going on eighteen. I never plan on growing up, but rather plan on eventually growing old without becoming someone I’m not. I’m not an old man. I never plan on acting like an old man, or even like an adult man. I plan on always acting like myself.
I consider myself a stone’s throw away from being sane and about a stone’s throw and a half away from being insane. I don’t hate that I’m certifiably crazy.
In the morning, when there’s horrible, obnoxious noises stuck inside me, I let them out. I like having a good time. I enjoy virtually every genre of music in some form or another. I play the piano. I’m not very good at dancing, but I do it anyway. I like good food. I try to eat as healthy as I can without getting boring. I like exercise. I spend a large portion of every day practicing my favorite sport. It would be difficult for me to ever kill an animal. I like to write.
I come from a large family. I have great parents. I am second in the line-up of six children, and I love my family. I have great friends.
I’ve loved and I’ve lost. Sometimes life hurts like I never could have imagined it would.
So what does this all make me? All of this and more makes me who I am. If I seem entirely average and amateurish to you, then just you wait, because I have big plans. I’m determined to be anything but average and everything that is unorthodox. While I’m not sure what path I’m going to take to get to personal awesomeness, I assure you I am going to get there.
This is my man blog.
