Mindspin
I'm so sidetracked in life.
Sidetracked by so many things that don't matter.
I still wish I were an artist and a photographer.
I do everything BUT.
What have I come to be? A custom picture framer and a student.
I have become a waste of time.
Sure, I love my job, but I'll be goddamned if that's what I ever wanted out of life.
I feel too old to be trapped in someone so young.
I was young once. And it felt good.
When we were young, we wanted nothing more than to grow up.
Now that I am growing up, I want nothing more than to be young again.
Actually, I'd rather be 21.
I had always had my life planned out.
Wanna hear how it goes?
Get my foot in the door by entering the workforce at 16.
Graduate highschool at 17.
Get engaged to my highschool sweetheart and move in together at 18.
Live life from 19-20 in a decent paying full-time job, living paycheck to paycheck.
Get married at 21 and leave the state for a better paying job and start making a life for myself and my family.
Five years into the marriage, Have a kid at 26 and spend majority of my time raising a child with my wife.
Wanna hear how it really went?
Graduated highschool at 17.
Started college immediately afterwards.
Didn't get a car or a job until age 18. (yes, I walked to school and was broke, too!)
Quickly made my way up the ladder at Michaels Arts and Crafts and landed a decent paying fulltime job while going to school, studying a subject of NO interest whatsoever.
At 19, I realize that I've gone through far too many bullshit relationships that I swore would be "the one" and will probably not be married until much closer to my midlife crisis.
Age 21 will most likely bring about nothing other than more fucking bills and a possible drinking problem.
and that is life.
