Outside a Book

Growing up in the real world, in American, outside the pages of a book is usually seriously boring. Like really, everyone has a cool backstory.

Harry Potter (do I really need to describe this?) - becomes wizard at the age of 11 and his life changes from there on out.
Farway McCarthy (from the super boss book, Invictus) - Pretty normal, except for that fact that he lives more a hundred of years in the future, was born outside of time, was born the son of a time traveler and a gladiator, and he's an time traveler by the age of roughly 17, even though he failed the exam to become a time traveler.
Nobody (Bod) Owens (Graveyard Book) - Born as a human, and raised by ghosts when his family is brutally murdered.

Pretty much everyone in books, or movies, or TV shows have exciting lives. Like seriously, my life couldn't be super exciting? Or like even depressing? (Not that I want it to be though….) Like Leonard Snart from DC’s Legend of Tomorrow where his father is terrible and he makes Snart do a whole bunch of things just so he won't hurt Snart’s little sister.

Real life sucks. It can either be super depressing and difficult, or super boring and normal. No one actually gets to be raised with adventure and magic. Trust me. I know, my mom tried to raise me with a lot of adventure and magic. It worked for a while, like a long while. But now the truth has caught up to me. Compared to everyone in a book, life is boring. At some point or any other, your life will suck. Everyone's will, everyone's has. Some people will try really hard and make a name for themselves, other will be born into it, some will just straight up fail at life. And the rest of us, we're what makes the world what it is. We're your plain Jane’s who you don't give a second glance. That try hard, but stay in the same place. We're the ones that watch TV shows, movies, read books, RolePlay, and live in the clouds because we'll never actually do anything worth writing a novel about. We try hard and dream bigger. I am one of those people. Those ones that are awesome if you know them, but no one else really cares about.

Trust me kid. Dream big and shoot for the moon, if nothing happens and you're still here on Earth with everyone's gazes drifting over you. Don't give up and try harder. No one will get mad at you trying to hard. Only if you don't try enough. Be the one that dreams and is awesome. Not the that dreamed and is fading away in their dream job. Cause they got what they wanted and never tried again.

Keep trying. Keep dreaming. And be effen boss while you're at it.
