Describe a challenge, hardship or misfortune you have experiened in your life. What have you learned from this and how has it prepared you for the future?

My name is Sutter Keely, and I'm 18 years old. Compared to other kids I hadn't had that many hardships, not really. (Shits happened.) Stuff has happend sure, but stuff always happens, right? But the real challenge of my life, the real hardship is me, it's always been me. As long as I can remember I've never not been afraid, afraid of failure of letting people down, hurting people, getting hurt. I thought, if I kept my guard up, if I focus on some other things, other people, if I couldn't even feel it, well then no harm would come to me. I screwed up. I don't only shut out the pain, I shut out everything, the good and the bad, until there was nothing. It's fine to just live in the NOW, but the best part about NOW is there is another one tomorrow, and I'm gonna start to make them count.

Sincerely,

Sutter Keely

PS: I don't know if this was due long time ago, probably was, that's fine. Maybe too late for this essay, it's not too late for me.

    What kind of shit. . . A man who looks like a big ugly man lives as if he is a man every day. His ex-girlfriend is a big ugly lady and treats her as a goddess, and he is almost vomiting. Director, can you have a little aesthetic. . . The heroine is also very ugly, the whole film is noisy and noisy, it's going to collapse...

    Everyone tells me to grow up, but what good is it to be an adult, are you happy?

The Spectacular Now quotes
