The Albedo Effect

00

I can't change who you are. I can't make you see my perspective. I can only live one life; and since everyone else's is taken, I'll choose mine.

A singer records a song, first by testing the waters and then finishing the lyrics after their story is complete. A writer does the same. They write as much of the story as they can and go back to edit out the things they deem useless in the end. I want to think that I, Elizabeth Reeds, did the same, or at least is in the process of elimination. I was stuck in a place between bad and good. I felt like I was constantly being pulled from all sides. It was a tug of war battle where both my arms got torn off.

What I mean by this statement of contrary artistic beings, was that, my life, as simple as it may have seemed, was not. As soon as I started twelfth grade, and tried harder to get involved within my school, for my resume and college application of course, I was thrown off my horse and into a whirlwind of emotionally indecipherable scenarios all surrounding Pinn. Pinn's real name was Peter but I could not think of a single person who called him that.

In fact, being around him made me realize that I didn't deserve to be treated in a way that hindered my ability to shine. He made me feel like I was the brightest star in the galaxy. Of course, it didn't start this way. I didn't even know him back in September when I stepped foot in our high school. He was just another pretty face that played football. 

{okay I can't say that I've poured my heart into something more than this story. enjoy, speak your opinions, spread some love, (it ya want) I would like this to be the most real thing I have ever written.}
