I want to be somebody. I don't want celebrity, but I want fame. I want people to know my name, and when they hear my name, I want it to make them think. I'm now at the point where every morning I wake up and the first and only thing I think about is writing. I was meant to be a writer.
When you're young, you always dream about the future about what car you'll drive, or how many people you'll be in charge of in your high-flying business but we never really sit and write it all down. I feel like I have to write everything down before the thought escapes my head and I forget. I'm scared of forgetting. So, this is, at its most basic level, an account of everything I want from life.
It's unoriginal but none the less honourable that I want to go to university and get a great degree. I'll study History, with Languages, and dabble a bit in Law or Journalism for my personal pleasure. I want to live in a city and absorb the buzz of its energy, and then in it's suburbs where I'll get myself a couple of dogs and walk them every day around the greenery, smiling at my friendly neighbours.
During the winter, I want to sit by a fire and get out my pen and write endlessly. I want imagination to flow from my pen and create itself on that paper. I'll write about fantasy, religion, loves lost and found, about brave men and undeserving villains. Then, when old age comes knocking at my door, I'll write a biography of the life I've had, for the world to share.
I feel comfort in knowing that I have found my passion. I have a new-found sense of direction in my life, and I know now that no matter how much I may waver off this path, in the end the goal is to write and for people to read. I have a great respect for writers Stephen King was the first man to frighten me through the turning of pages; I could have sworn that that night there were real vampires tapping on my window. Then there is Dante, and his Comedia a wonderful and unbelievably smart masterpiece.
They say the best writers are those who write what they know. Of course, I know very little. I'm only eighteen. I have experienced nothing truly tragic. I have happily ridden the wave and will probably continue to do so. But what I do know is this: you had all better watch this space.
