Spoilt. Brat.

When you read this next sentance you'll understand the title. Ever since I was little (or littler seeing as though I aren't very tall now) I have got everything I have ever wanted. The latest toy, CD or nowadays games. Its not that my family have money to spend on me because in all honesty we are skint as a whole, the one thing I can do though is graft, even when I was six I would do my brothers paper-round for him and keep the money, it did take ages as I could barely lift the bag but I still did it, by the time I reached ten years old I had one hundred pounds in the bank, now that might not seem like much but I earned every penny. I have been working since then, not like doing chores around the house but going down my street gardening and washing windows for my neighbours normally for chocolate but sometimes I got the occasional fifty pence. When most of my friends where being bought football shirts for their favourite team I was wearing any old Tshirt not because I couldn't afford one or because I couldn't get into town to buy myself one, it was a case of I worked hard for my money and didn't see the point in wasting it on something I was going to grow out of within a couple of months. I was a fairly savvi kid. An upbringing like that may seem a little sad to some of you who have parents who take care of you. Like some of your dads might of taken you to a park to play on the swings or to kick a ball around, I didn't get that I would be taken to my dad's office, to do maths, I have a really mathmatical brain I like to work things out, I'm actually quite good at it aswell. So I used to get a couple of quid for doing that so I never really stopped working, even when I went through school I would be at school all day then go home and act as a receptionist for my dad, answering the phone and taking messages for which I recieved twenty pence for each call I took. I didn't get much of a childhood but what I did get was an understanding of the world. And I hate to break it to you but it does only turn because of money.
Because I understood so much of life before I had left school when my friends would be asked what they wanted to be it was always a footballer or doctor, something highly paid. I opted for another route, I wanted to be a jack of all trades. I am skilled with my hands, I can draw, carve, build, organize in fact I can probably do anything if I put my mind to it. I've never found anything that has gazzumped me, seriously nothing at all, well apart from people. I never have understood people. Like when you're little you don't want to kiss girls and then all of a sudden you do, I understand the biology behind it just not why it happens. Or even the fact that when you are young you trust everyone, then you hit an age and you trust noone. The one thing I have never understood though is how people stay in a relationship even though the person they are with are a violent alcoholic, they get beaten up or hit and then they don't leave the person because they love them, how is that love? Even still though I'll be there for those people, because its what I do, I look after people, as long as that person is not myself.
