Screw school. School is what made me like this. School made me fear writing, made me feel like I wasn't good enough for it. School made me think that I had to write like Emily Dickinson or Ralph Waldo Emerson. If my writing wasn't inspirational like theres, it wasn't even worth it. I made myself think that I wasn't creative enough for these things, that my thoughts weren't orginal. Who gets to define what creative is? I do. This creative writing class is changing the way I write. Don't think to much about what you write, just write. I'm sick of caring what people will think about me. I try so hard to impress people that I leave no impression.

My hero is George Costanza. No ones life sucks as much as his. He's short, fat, bald, and lives with his parents. Could you be more of a loser? Every time George gets a job, or even a girlfriend, he finds something wrong with it. All of our lives are freaking like that. We will never do or find anything perfect enough for us. We will never be satisfied. Even if things are going well you know that things aren't going to end out going your way. In the after life I can see God handing us giant scrolls of our failures. Why is it so hard to do the right thing, so hard to be successful?  But what the heck, I'm on a date with destiny. And her name is George Costanza.
