Jendi; Seventeen
I've lived in the same place for seventeen years.
I have a lot to smile about
and I smile a lot. So you should smile for me.
I don’t like writing about myself because I don’t know exactly how to put everything important into words.
I’m not going to say “get to know me, I’m awesome†or any form of that because quite frankly, you probably wouldn’t care to know me if you don’t already.
I’m awkward and shy and sometimes I let myself get the best of me.
Sometimes I stick up for myself, but there’s a time and place to step back.
I talk too fast, and I talk a lot.
But sometimes I have nothing to say.
We all have pasts, presents, and futures.
I’ve learned from one of them, I’m learning from another, and I will learn from the other.
God has a plan for me, which excites me because I don’t know what it is, but to say my life is mine would be a lie.
I like music. I help out with AnEmergencyScene. We book shows and buy talents.
I like whatever music makes me think. Whatever music will make me feel something other than the beat or the tune.
I’ve got a lot to say.
Charities and causes are my weaknesses.
The love behind those things is amazing.
I’ve made a lot of mistakes, and I make more every day.
So I’m not going to judge you when my hands aren’t clean themselves.
No one is better or worse off than anyone else.
We all have different problems, different battles.
I don’t have the perfect things or the perfect life, but I’m sure as hell lucky enough to have a better life than others. I’m thankful for my family, shelter, food, job and education.
So before you start complaining and feeling sorry for yourself because of what you don’t have, take a step back and look at what you do have, because any moment it could all be taken away from you.
I‘m not perfect, I don‘t try to be, and I don‘t think I‘d want to be. Once you have everything you have nothing else to reach for, nothing else to dream about.
I’m not invincible. My future excites me, even though there will inevitably be bad parts.
My relationship with God is what‘s keeping me alive.
Things are only as bad as you make them seem.
You can make the right decision or get busy making your decision right.
I want everyone else to be as happy as I am in the end.
