Challenged. Hesitating. Afraid. But trying.

If you want a real glimpse of who I am, I suggest that you read my entries. However, I suppose I might as well fill up this space for anyone who has read this far, so here's my "little mini-biography":
I like to consider myself an ordinary fourteen year old boy, but the truth is, I don't even know what "ordinary" means -- or if it even exists. I do think that I am "ordinary" in one way: all of my experiences, interests, and aspirations are someone else's as well.
I often struggle to wake up in the morning, though clearly, I can manage it most days. I don't yet know what compels me to get out of bed; I don't know if it's something I already have, or something I am still seeking. However, I do know that if it weren't for the arts, milkshake-dipped french fries, and my best friend, Kay, I probably wouldn't stand a chance.
My favorite things in life (presuming we call the three listed above essentials!) are Molly Ringwald nights, snow, and meeting my friends for late nights in 24-hour diners. I am also partial to coffee and cigarettes, but those are habits I am trying to break.
There is nothing I genuinely "hate" in this world, though I have little respect for people who can't stay true to themselves and/or are unwilling to accept, without compromising their own values, that there are other truths besides their own (difficult as that may be). That being said, I can be a hypocrite at times, but I try my best. That's all that really matters, I think.
So there. That's a "little mini" taste of me.
