Back Where you Belong

Watching the movie Waterhorse was an absolutely moving experience. It made me remember the little boy that I was. At the same time, it reminded me that that little boy, up until this very day, remains a very big part of me.

I miss those days. Those days when everyone wanted you to be someone and something. The grandparents wanted you to get straight A's. The uncles wanted you to be the best damn basketball player. And the parents wanted you to be the best in everything.

But I just went on with my life and did things my way. I struggled to make a mark. To be heard. To be remembered.  I struggled to be out of the ordinary. To be different. But strangely enough, I desperately tried hard to fit in, too.

 I see myself in Angus. A well-loved outcast. Loved and cared for. But totally lonely and alone.

I guess every boy is that. Lost. Wasted. Unwanted. Forgotten.

 How and when he'll bravely turn his back on that phase to become a man is all up to him.
