The Background Kind Of Guy

Chapter Twenty Three

One year passed...

I'm now eighteen, Still with Audrey
(She's eighteen too so it's legal)
I'm also still great friends with Jamie.

I'm going to college in about a month from now. I'm gonna be moving to New York to go to a college of arts, Audrey is gonna be coming along, so will be Jamie but, she isn't  going to college, she said she wanted to head out for a career in Broadway.

(I know she'll make it, she's a very great singer and performer)

Anyway,
The very next day after the whole Zack thing.

I went to school thinking I'd finally make my breakthrough as the Protagonist but, things didn't happen.

Everyone forgot my name, forgot my existence, forgot about that whole speech. At first I was frustrated how I never actually got to live a day as the Protagonist but, now that I'm abit older and more wiser. I realize it's not that big of deal.

I mean, yeah I really wanted to be noticed in school for something and be valued but, what I realized is that, it doesn't mean that if I'm invisible to some people that I'm invisible to all.

Heck, some people might see me as a Protagonist in their point of view, some might see me as a supporting character, others as the Antagonist and most in the background.

But I found that, we decide which roles we want to be.

You wanna be the Protagonist?

Then you are!

We all play a role in everyone's lives, and they're all different.

I guess what I'm trying to say is we all play as the Protagonist in our own lives, because we are making our own story right now.

Some people in the background don't really notice it because their to caught up focusing on other people's lives, to busy dwelling on how the popular people or that one person isn't acknowledging them. When they should start focusing about their lives.

So if that friend group you desperately want to be apart of ignores you, gain the courage to make them acknowledge you. If not then forget them, focus on you're life.

Because if you don't take care of yourself. Your life isn't gonna shape up to the way you want it to be.

We're all in the background once in awhile, but not forever.

That's what I learned and I hope other people like me do to.

It's time that I start shaping up myself.

But hey, I'll always once in awhile be
The Background Kind Of Guy.
