Personal Narrative: The World

The world is a messed up place and we are all stuck here until our lives are through, or until we choose to leave. It's strange that I go along with everything everyone tells me, such as that I should ware certain cloths or listen to certain songs. I often wonder why I do the things I do, but then I just realize that's who I am. People are confused about why they are here and they don't understand what life is supposed to be about.

One thing I know for sure is that I wont be one of those guys that live in the same town he grew up in where everyone has known him since he was a little kid. You know the kind of guy that I'm talking about. The one that went to a college close to home and came back to be a teacher, coach, or manager of a furniture store. Don't get me wrong, these are all great people that make great parents, but that's not a life that I want for myself. I want to make a name for myself in this world, and in order to do that I've got to do something big to get recognized and get out of this small town.
