Who am I? Its such a miserable question! I don’t know who I am, I don’t know what I like, and I don’t know what I want. I also don’t know how I’m supposed to figure any of these things out so I wish they’d stop asking.
I look at my life and don’t see how I’ve accomplished anything that really means anything to others or to myself even. Five years from now I’m not going to remember how I won a creative design award for a booth I set up at a trade fair I went to in the twelfth grade.
I know that one day I will figure out exactly what it is that I am looking for, and I know that I will be able to make whatever it is a part of my life. There are lots of people out there like me who live their lives without ever getting an answer. It’s very depressing to think about. But why do I think I’m any different? What makes me special? Well nothing really, I just have hope and ambition and I feel like those are the things that will lead me to wherever I have to go.
