Growing up in a Small Town

When you live in a small town you'll notice that there isn't a whole lot of opportunity. Some kids will just take it cause they have to or settle for it would be a better choice of words. They'll tell their parents how bored they are and complain every second of the day. Then there are those kids who won't settle for anything less than what their chasing. Dreams that shape their personalities into "can do" attitudes and two hands filled with wants that they're reaching out for. And it doesn't matter which type of kid you are, because either way if you end up leaving you'll be missing that place you called home and wishing you could relive every heart throbbing moment that made you the person you are. People say you should live life without regrets, but when it all comes down to the last day at school, the day of your retirement, or the day you draw your last breath in this world, everybody looks back and wants a second chance for some reason or another. So i try to do right with this one shot i got and i've made a lot of mistakes on my path. i'm taking those mistakes and i'm trying not to make them twice. That's all we can do. It is the human condition and nobody is perfect. i know i'm already wishing for that second chance and i'm only 17 years old. Just one of my opinions i've gained. Maybe it'll change Along the Way...
