LET ME BE ME

CHAPTER 1:THE NEW ME

There is not that much to be said about me. I am an ordinary boy, living a…well, less than ordinary life. And as the years go by it keeps getting less and less normal.

Life seems to like throwing me into dangerous situations, enjoys making me suffer and in its arrogance and ambition it keeps trying to me break down. Nevertheless I won't allow it to win, I never did, and I never well.

I can't say I have changed, or pretend that I was normal in the first place. I was, am and will always be myself. Unique. After all, nobody in this world has my face, my body or thinks the way I do. Nobody in this world has the same passions that I have or acts as I do. Simply put; nobody in this world is me.

There is no such thing as being normal. That would mean that all the people in the world would be the same height, would have the same body, the same conduct and a person a few inches taller or shorter would be out of the ordinary. This being said, we're all different because normal doesn't exist in our world.

So yes I am perfectly normal.

My life is less then ordinary not because magic is a part of it or because the events in it, but because in a world in which routine defines a life, my life doesn't fit. I am not perfect and I don't want to be.

As to what I am…well to put it simply I am a beautiful disaster. I like what I am I feel good being me, simply because no matter how hard I try I will never be somebody else. So I've learnt to make the best of it. It took me a lot of time to discover that. Frankly it took too long but I did it in my own time whether forced by circumstances or not.

So now I won't hide anymore, I won't say that I will never make mistakes or that I won't suffer but after this little discovery, life seems just that little bit clearer.

So now, for the first time in years I've had a great summer; new friends lots of changes and no routine. I am not the same person I once was and I know that my friends won't like it.

I suppose I shouldn't even consider them friends but we went through too much together, they were my first friends, though they aren't anymore. There's nothing I can do, it's a fact that exists independent of me but still affects me somewhat.

I am not human, I am not light, I am not evil and I am not something they can understand.

A/N: hello there! I hoped you liked this chapter…It is kind of boring but I believe it was necessary. Please read and review … it really means a lot to me!:-). I need to know if you think I should continue with this story. :-) Anyway thanks for reading.
