Personal Narrative: I Listen To Music By Kalynn Mitchell

Superior Essays
I'm Kalynn Mitchell. I like to read, I like to listen to music- my favorite songs are old songs, like from the 1900's. I love to write. I sometimes change myself to please others, i don't speak my opinions because i want to make sure everyone is happy and my opinion is not needed for that. I try to hide what i like because i like to have a special connection with things like books, movies, music, et cetera-I like to enjoy it quietly, in a secluded way, without someone coming in and ruining it, i like to obsess by myself, i like having things that are mine, that are special, that no one else likes and if i get into something new i can't help but stress that no one else in my family watches/reads it; childish? I know, selfish? Very. When i get older i want to become a writer and have at least on book published, i practice writing most every day. I don't have any friends …show more content…
I heard a shuffling noise next to me, when i looked up i saw a a boy standing there, was he there the whole time? He certainly wasn't helping my anxiety.

He glanced down at me and i quickly looked away, i felt like i was about to have a heart attack. I was burning up. I took off my jacket and curled up against the sign post, holding it to my chest and breathing through the fabric. I don't know why, but that always seemed to help me a little bit. The boy sat down on the curb, and started searching through his backpack for something, but it seemed as though he couldn't find what ever it was. We sat there for what felt like an eternity, and at the same time, only seconds. there was still about 20 minutes before the bus arrived. And i couldn't help but worry.

How am i gonna survive today? I wondered. I couldn't even wait at the bus stop without almost throwing up.

Was this really what it's like being near people you don't know? No, no it can't be, otherwise there wouldn't be all those social butterflies out there. It must only have only been

    He watched the woman disappear through the same side door Susan had used upon her arrival. There was another fifty feet or so before Jim reached the same spot across town. When he rushed past the picture window of the building, he completely ignored the worn out sign proclaiming: Mama’s House of Pain. Jim headed directly for the door the woman had stepped through seconds before. He turned the knob to find it unlocked and walked inside without hesitation.…

    October 12th. The day that I,Heather Kubel, a freshman at Sierra Lutheran High School, would have embedded in my memory forever. The day that I will always be able to remember the exact details, despite the shudder that would come from recalling it. I had had a pretty basic life up to now. I had an older brother in college and two parents who had taken me to church every Sunday since I was a little girl; despite the fact that my father and the rest of my family were Jewish.…

    I should have been feeling extremely unhappy, since I had just explained to my best friend that I wanted to die. Although my day had been filled with dread and depression, suddenly when I was looking at her I just felt extreme content, I felt safe. I hadn’t felt this way since before the depression had crippled my life. As I looked up at Megan and noticed all her features in a way I had never seen them before, I knew I had to fix her sadness.…

    Assuming the numbers are right (and I sincerely hope they're not), in a randomly selected crowd of ten thousand Americans, I am the only one who can read. It's mind boggling; my nine year old self had to sit down when she first learned it, mere hours after meeting the eyes of the astonished boy who was told that the note he was looking for was a B-flat. I have words running through my mind constantly, small phrases or whole pages on a loop, complete with percussion, until another strain catches my fancy. The pages of my conscious mind are never blank, and my pretentious self wonders how 99.99% of people get by in their permanent illiteracy.…

    To become rich and famous I would take a path slightly different than some people, and make it branch off into several others, leaving me with several options. Singing is the path I would take because I have practiced it thoroughly along , with others, and even with instruments. Behind the curtains I would be using special tactics and marketing skills to help me make my way to the top. The secret of getting ahead is getting started - Mark Twain. Youtube has been an amazing input for talent, comedy, and just pure entertainment.…

    Last year I got the chance to see One Direction live in Nashville. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think about getting the opportunity to see them in person instead of on a screen. I guess really do come true! Having to wait from Christmas, the year before, to August 19, 2014 was extremely hard for me. My parents kept telling me that if I didn’t keep my grades up, they were going to sell my ticket.…
