I have two brothers, Kieran and Rory,
who are 13 and 10 respectively. My Dad’s name is Mathew, (with one ‘t’), and my
Mother’s name is Angela. We have a Miniature Schnauzer named Caesar. My
brothers always drive me crazy, but I love them anyway, my parents always drive
me to school, buy they love me
anyway, and our dog loves all of us, no matter where we drive him. I love them
all.
I am a thinker. I mostly think about how guys butts are sooo beautiful and buttery. I analyze. I evaluate.
I create. My mind is always whirring away, and it feels like a loading bar on a
computer screen. There is so much data to process, that sometimes it takes
weeks, even months, before I suddenly have an epiphany, the idea suddenly
becoming fully formed and complete, and I feel ecstatic and light headed for
the rest of the day.
I like to build things. I like to
make my ideas come to life, to create something real from my processed data and
full loading bar. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. It makes me feel
substantial.
I like
to read and write and draw. I enjoy putting my ideas down on paper, as it makes
me feel organized and helps me see things I didn’t before. I like reading
because it makes me feel knowledgeable and learned. I feel purposeful.
I am in
a school program called SOAR right now. Sometimes I love it more than anything.
Sometimes I wish I was home. But most times I just feel impartial, and it’s
like I can’t even remember before I got here, but yet it still doesn’t feel
like home.
So that’s
who I am. I can be described so many ways that it’s impossible to list even most of them, but this was my attempt at
it. This page is pretty much me.
I love your words, your thoughts and you. You are amazing.
ReplyDeleteDear Griffin,
ReplyDeleteIt appears that there is much capacity for all of the wonderment of life within your soul. The capacity to love is probably the most important. With love and appreciation of others, you permit yourself to soar (not your school) through the wonderment of science, the arts, and with your expressed creativity, the world await to hear from you.
In order to be heard, you must be disciplined in your thoughts. You appear to be on a good track teaching yourself how to learn. That is the primary job of schools, though few recognize that. Your learning adventure will last about another seventy years, so be prepared. Be prepared to ask, to inquire, to test through your own hypotheses, and be the best critic of your own work.
As a suggestion, explore the time of the Reformation. Not only was this a time of religious upheaval, where the common peasant learned that he did not need another person to intercede for him with his concept of God ( as different as we all see it), but that time set the foundation for the greatest revolution in the search for truth.
See if you find the thoughts held by such great thinkers as Pascal, Descartes, Locke, and all of the giants of their day similar to the thoughts that you have. You may be pleasantly surprised, as they hold the same awe, and frustration, that you share with us.
Best of luck.
