Let me share something to you
I don't know where I fit in, Actually I never know where I fit in.
When I was young I grew up playing and loving sports, I was a very active kid, and I knew nothing else but that. My whole school life was dominated by athletics’, and I was pretty good. You see my whole family is athletic, my dad play football for Texas Tec, my oldest sister one won state in softball, my older brother has bear size muscles, and my younger sister was heavy into softball. Well I loved playing soccer, and it was awesome. I played in high school a couple of years TILL I REALIZE there something called the arts. Art? I really had no thought of this; I didn't know what this was till the 11 grade.
Something happen to me in 11 grade. I have known Idea what it was. Maybe it was to much hacky sack'n' in the school's halls. Or the film class which was making me pee in my pant because of the exigent in the class. Or maybe the new friends I made that talk with very strange sounds. OR MABEY JUST MABEY it was because I was cut from the soccer team, because some pot smok'n', half my size, twice as slow, half as strong, and less dribble ability took my defensive spot. I DON"T KNOW WHAT HAPPEN, but the arts was the road I was traveling down.
MY mom in artistic in character she loves music, and draws. Well I think I got allot of my artistic character from her. I started playing the guitar in the 10 grade, and singing while I play. Now I play everyday, and my voice has develop allot. Also film class was the highlight of my life, I started coming up with crazy story such as the lemonade stand. In the 12 grade I took photo class which inspired me, and theater class let me act in one of there plays. Last all draw whatever I wanted in 12 grade art.
I went from a complete Sports man, to artistic Dave in a matter of 1 year.
That's dangerous.
I'm half athletic from my dad, and half artistic from my mom.
This is the problem; I can't fit in anywhere, because I can only half way connect with people. Last I feel like nothing excels in my life.
I don't mean to sound sad, but really hears what it comes down to. I can play soccer, baseball, basketball, football, run, or anything athletic, whatever it is I can do it. Most likely I can do it good, but I don't excel in area of athletics’. Also I can draw a little, sing, and play music, act, or anything artistic. I can be alright too, But I don't excel
This is the end I don't fit in anywhere not athletic not artistic, so what am I?
I'm alright but I don't excel.
Does anyone eles feel this way please comment?
