Most of my days are pretty normal and boring. I'm a high school student - yeah I'm not telling the internet where - in my senior year. I'm finally getting out of one of the places I sometimes consider hell. And in the spirit of being completely honest, I battle with depression that comes and goes, though recently it has been coming more and more often. To help move past it I listen to music - mostly to Fall Out Boy (FOB) and other rock bands/songs - read, and talk to my friends. Not everyone knows what it's like and even my closest friends don't know what I'm going through. But on to better things right...?
Since I was in middle school reading, books, and writing have been such a major part of my life. For a while I thought I was going to be a novelist, but I had to face the reality that I just couldn't sit down and focus like I would need to in order to write novels. So my focus changed direction to journalism and later on photography. At this point I have set the goal to go to college to become a photojournalist. However I didn't know much more beyond that, which leads me on to my next point. For my birthday this year (eighteen guys!) I got tickets to see FOB in concert this July and it got me thinking. Music, writing, traveling and even photography are each major parts of my life and what makes me who I am as a person, why not find a way to combine them? And so bringing this long story to a close, I want to be the person that travels with bands taking their pictures and writing for them or write for a magazine like - just to throw it out there - Rolling Stone and interview bands and things.
Just like any teen, I'm not completely sure what I want to do, I have an idea but not a whole lot more than that. Each person has a journey they have to travel, some don't go far while others do. I'm not sure which category I'm in either, I'll just have to travel the one live gives me.
If you happen across my blog and have an questions, feel free to ask or even if you just want to talk. I just might be able to understand better than you think.
