I have thoughts. I have opinions. I like and dislike a lot of different things. I'm human. I cry, I laugh and I get mad. In a way, I'm just like everybody else, but in a way, I'm not. I have my own unique goals and ambitions. I'm on a grind to get to where I want to be while staying true to myself. I'm constantly changing as I grow but I will always live by a set of guidelines: Stay humble, stay real and find happiness in what you love. Surround yourself with people who care about you. Communicate, be loyal and allow people to trust you. Give unconditional love to those who deserve it. Live in the moment and have fun but be responsible. Do unto others as you wish done unto you. Be honest with yourself. This is a crazy life and we only get one shot, so make it last in the best way.

One of my pet peeves, surprisingly, is when somebody asks me, “How was your day?” over and over again. I’m all for being nice and caring about other people, but seriously. I’m a teenager. I go to school five days a week. I sit in class, eat lunch, sit in class some more and either play basketball or go to work. I don’t know what it is about that question but it just irritates me. The only answer I can ever give is “good!” People try to start conversations with the question but it usually ends up not leading the conversation anywhere. Nothing special happens during my day, if so I would tell you. I feel like it’s awful to get upset when people ask how your day was, but I just feel so repetitive giving the same answer time and time again because nothing ever changes. I live a busy, boring life. Unfortunately there’s never much to talk about.
