if you were to ask me who's life is awesome I would say, "mine."
I've done so much and I've been to so many different places this year its retarded.
I have camped, slept in my truck, slept in cars with people I hardly knew. I stayed in three near strangers lake houses, stayed in four COMPLETE strangers houses in four big cities. I cuddled with people I knew and didn't know, went on several road trips with people I hardly knew, and people I knew well. I have been to an average of 3 concerts at least an hour away a month, and one music festival every two months. I was backstage for red jumpsuit, flyleaf, and snoop, shook hands with the lead singer of Copeland. I saw three legendary 90's bands, I flew like a bird, I made at least 32 new close personal friends, some of which have never lived in Mississippi, I swam all summer in pools I wasn't allowed in. I experienced all new levels of mind blowing emotional highs and lows. I have a music myspace, I have recently become known as a "regular" to a girl in a cafe five hours away, I've hosted two British strangers at my house for a week, one german for two weeks, and five dudes in a band from Oregon for a night, I have a new brother in law who is rad, I'm now comfortable with nudity(others nudity as well as my own), I paddled a kayak naked with a naked girl in the back seat for two hours and didn't pass out, I turned one french fry into 14 trout and fed a whole campsite for two days in Arkansas.... I spent at least more than two days and nights in; Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Florida, excluding Mississippi. this was a big year for me. an important year.
most of all this year has turned me into a whole new dude, which is something I never wanted to be because I was pretty happy. I was proud, to be who I was. I felt like a fortress. now I'm wilder. now I'm braver. I let people through the gate. I'm more confident. more able. I stick up for myself. I unleash my inner asshole more often. and I say what I want without worrying about how people will take it.
I'm still me, essentially. I'm just.... better. stronger. braver. more able.
I've changed, butI'm still completely happy with who I am.
