Hey there! How have you been? I bet you're already stepping onto that grown-teenage life by now, A sing all of your tests and making everybody proud! Speaking of which, since you've always like to read stories and lots of books, escaping the real world for a while loosing up your mind in the pages of the books, I wanted to recommend you a really good one I happened to read just recently, it's called The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. I think you should totally read it, ease your mind some time and maybe take some notes on it, like you usually do on things that you like so you can learn a little about teenage. Since you're going through some changes in your life, and experiencing lots of feelings now that you're going to High School and meeting new people, changing somewhat some of your likes or extending your points of view and sometimes be confused about certain thoughts and find no answer, yet keep looking for a reason for everything, it will help you to understand lots of things it won't be a list of answers to everything you're looking for but although this story is about an Indian-American 14 year-old boy you will relate yourself to more than one feeling, and/or thought.
By now you might be trying to figure out the title, so let me break it down for you just a little, and maybe I can finish to totally convince you to read it!. So it has that title for a reason, a reason you understand by the middle of the book, but I'm going to save you the suspense and some time and talk you into it. This boy's name is Arnold he is a 14 year-old Indian-American boy who happens to be struggling life in his Indian reservation where he resides, due to a physical condition that he was born with and I guess just bad luck with his "people". But his bad luck totally changes, in my opinion, over time. He is kind of a dreamer, like us, more like me in the way he expresses things but like you in the why's, and under certain situations which, with that part I think you'll love it and you might think it's kind of goofy but I'm pretty sure you'll like it after all. This guy is poor, he has low self-esteem, bad luck with girls, and gets beat up by other kids constantly, but even all of these horrible things happen he still seems to have a better sense of life, he wants to do better, even when he thinks he does not deserve better, for some reason he embraces change, he wants to keep on going like if he had an inner will deep, but very deeply inside his conscious or maybe his heart? that keeps him somewhat motivated and willing to keep on going with life, to carry on with the choices he has made along the past years, but most importantly the choices he made in his first year of High School not to shine a side from the rest and shine so bright that he can blind others and dazzle on his own, but to be better on his own to have something to want, something to love, to be someone be normal, or simply just to want to be someone and break the cycle his family have always been through. Sounds any familiar yet? Well if you wanna find out what all of this is about I suggest you to read the story, explore other minds and gain piece of mind, or what I would called, mind experience. Let me know what you think about the ending (;
