Ok so i seen some people on tv writing about themselves and thought I would give it a bash; after all, if there is one thing in this world that we all know most about it's ourselves.
My name is John Patrick Kevin Morris (do not slag, I did not choose this name). I am 22 and aging like a prune in the sun! I was born in a small mining town called Blantyre in the outskirts of Glasgow and soon moved to a village called Wishaw where I attended Castle Hill Primary School with my sister Maryanne.
When I was around 7; my parents divorced and I moved around a lot over the duration on 5 or so years, having to make new friends and feel comfortable in new surroundings.
Simultaneously I was missing my family and friends, missing my comfort zone and the feeling of being settled (an anxiety that has never left me since).
My father was very proud of me; pushing and motivating me to do my best and always achieve higher than my own expectations. A trait which has also remained for the most part.
When I was 11, I moved to Edinburgh (a city that at the time I thought to be in another country). I attended Craigroyston Community High School and developed a close passion for music along with many other interests. These included; science, Wicca, cultures, language and anything unusual.
I became friends with a lot of people during my time at craigie, none of which have ended entirely to this day. Some of my school friends have now became my adult friends. How strange it seems to reminisce about the younger days where we had to hide behind the lunch hall to have a smoke, thought it was funny to wind up teachers and thought that the most important thing in the world was our image and how people perceived it. Now as an adult; my views on what is important and how I act are so alien to the me only 6 years ago. Strange really; I sound like my parents (something that 16 year old John would have abhorred).
But the days have gone by quicker than I could have imagined and this is purely to do with looking back on the years past, the me just now thinks John at 30 is miles away...we'll see what he says in 8 years!
If there was one way I could describe myself (as in how I feel generally) it is a mixture of wild optimism, fear of the future, in constant need of something new and hesitant to feel relaxed with my life. I hope that some day I will achieve whatever it is I am looking for; because I have no idea what that is!
I now live in a flat on Easter Road with my best friend Kirstie and still speak to many of my friends; including one of my very first Emma who has since ventured into Glasgow. I have a car and a good job, my aspirations are to earn good money, enjoy my life as much as possible and find someone to share this life with.
I understand that to most people this all sounds boring but to me it was important to get it out.
In the future I hope to start the job which will lead me to my future, one which I can almost taste and know is within my grasp. Apart from that; I am aiming to get a little buff, have some good times with my friends, do some travelling and get laid at some point soon.
Right thats me done with my rant, god what a boring bugger I am!
