I remember playing outside every day like it was yesterday. I remember one day in particular when I was digging in the dirt for diamonds, and I obviously didn't find them, but I was pretty damn determined.
My brother, Justin, and I would dig in the dirt as deep as we could, trying to get to "Pokemon World". We never did end up there.
Instead, we dealt with my mother's boyfriend drama for 14 years. My mom is a very nice lady, but she does not know how to choose men. She literally chooses the most insane men on the planet. Like, the craziest men.
Whether it be from doing U-turns in the middle of the highway, or simply sneaking the dogs into a no-pets-allowed hotel room, he has always been up to no good. He is a very bad influence for my mother.
So yeah, we would deal with Brian's bullshit, he has always been the biggest egotistic person and he always thought he was the strongest person alive. If you're wondering about him now, yes he is still just as egotistic and insane. My mom is still trying with this douche bag, and Justin and I are still hoping to end up in Pokemon World, or anywhere away from here.
I'm hoping that someday, Brian will disappear and I will open my eyes to see that I am on a different planet with Pokemon, maybe even my mom and brother, but certainly not my step-father.
Now here I am, almost seventeen years old, and my Brian is still ignorant. My mom is still in bad hands, my brother is still a Pokemon lame, and I'm still wishing Brian would disappear and a wild Pikachu would take his place.
(Besides the dating part, Pikachu is too sexy for my mom)
nice. i can relate to when i was little and pretending to dig for treasure. you might want to change your font and a darker color for the words because it was kinda hard to read
ReplyDeleteThis is a great piece.
ReplyDeleteLexi,
ReplyDeleteI like the whimsical tone of this post. It's also a bit heart-breaking too. I can tell by digging for diamonds and hoping to find Pokemon world that you were just holding out all hope for something better and that not much has changed. I'm sorry about that.
Just watch the lang. a little bit. Could you edit that description of your brother for me? I get what you mean but that word bugs me. And could somebody tell me who Pikachu is? I'm out of it.
This is really good, i remember being little and playing outside too. It was also really sad, people just suck, I know it.
