Just for Fun
Prologue:
I’ve never fit in, but then again I’ve never really
tried. From the very beginning it was made clear to me that the
being the same as everybody else wasn’t a place I wanted to
be in. That’s not to say my parents were hippies or
anything, quiet contrary, strict military father and an ultra
conservative mother, uniform in every way. What made me
form the opinion that most 70 year olds have yet to form was the
arrival of my sister. Three years younger and the second girl, we
were roped together more time than I can count, matching shirts,
dresses, shoes even haircuts, it was clear to me that we were a
packaged deal. This did not sit well with me. Being the stubborn
child I was, I did the only thing that I could think of to create
an identity, my
identity.
I became the bad one.
Fast-forward thirteen cakes, candles and years to my
16th birthday.
Though I had yet to actually do something worth being ashamed of,
I was the cause of the most headaches, tears and sore throats.
Being the oldest meant that fairness and equality were things
that I need to work to receive for I had no one before me to pave
the way. It had long since been my goal to create such a path in
the thicket of life for my sister and brother (he came
much, much
later).
However like I mentioned before, I had only achieved the bare
minimum in this goal. Yet blowing out my candles on my cake (I
baked myself) and unwrapping the present (I got the Catcher and
the Rye, from myself…. Sensing a trend?) I had an
epiphany, a dawning. My life with my parents was almost over,
gone, so why was I still playing it safe with my actions?
Stirring up only enough to be known but not enough to be noticed?
As I sat in the dark I vowed that this would be the year for me,
for my mischievous rights as the eldest. For my life to actually
start.
