Today, on October 5th 2005, we are unique. Look at yourself. Who are you?

Are you a quiet punk kid, trying to express him or herself, trying to pass in school, and trying just to do their best.

Are you a quiet young woman, who goes to school, then comes home and cooks and cleans and takes care of her little brothers and sisters so that your mother or father can keep their second job?

Are you a religious child or teen, who has dirty secrets hiding deep within them?

Who are you?

Today, I am a writer. A young person, just trying to make it another day. I’m a hard worker, keeping up while I can, and a child striving to keep to youth and freedom as best as I can.

The world has been going too fast lately. Why? Why can’t we all just slow down a little bit? Take the time to go on a walk, or look at the moon, or even sit back and listen to the good old music that calms you down and makes you smile.

I love the ways of the old west, the old country, Texas, Tennessee, all of the states most kids make fun of. I love how relaxed things were, how the people take time to sit back and sing, to write their music, to smile and to keep to who they are no matter what. You see pop stars dressing in so many different fashions, but the country stars, keep to the plaid, wranglers and cowboy hats.

But who are you?

It’s October 5th 2005. How are you unique?
