Chasing dreams

Everything seems so dark and little in this small town. I see kids graduate and come right back here. Adults that are trapped here. Yes, some people might actually like it here- The small community, knowing that everyone has your back- it’s a good place to raise a family at. I have never seen a town with as much school spirit as we do. A place so dedicated to the color red because “Go Scotties” Every town around us knows what we are about. Glasgow is known for its parties. Every weekend there is a party full of underage kids. That’s high school right? Kids are going to get trashed. Be irresponsible. We learn from our mistakes. I know I have, I let myself fall into this pit of darkness that I am so desperate to dig myself out of. I am only 18 years old, I want to see the world. I want to go to college and play softball. I want to go to an even bigger college after that and earn myself a degree in English. I want to be a publisher, and maybe even a writer if I become good enough at it. I have so many goals for myself, and I have every intention of achieving them. But, my dreams are too big for this little town. And it’s time I start thinking of myself and chasing them.
