So Amari Ellis. Otherwise known as a border line of mature and immature, selfish, and complex minded jackass. I've been through hell and back and yea its created the present day Amari.
Man, I've never put my feelings and thoughts out like this but I guess there's a first for everything. So let me tell you. Growing up was ridiculous because I either don't remember or I'm being fed bad information.
I was born on the date of 12/24/1999 in Tampa, Fl I don't know what hospital so don't ask. My mother, the love of my life, obviously put me in this hell of a world. But no I'm not mad at her at all. To be honest, I'm glad I'm here.
Grew up in Tampa for like maybe 1-2 years. Afterwards I moved to Miami, FL. I think I moved because my parents got divorced (it happens to the best of us) but again its all blurry to me. My mother tells me that we were homeless for a bit of time, always moving around to friend's houses, family members who would charge us to stay, and even street corners.
Everyone on my Mom's side of the family says that's my Dad's fault. My father, my bestfriend/mentor, can be very undependable at times but sometimes he redeems himself. But my father always said that my mom could never be told anything because she would go and tell my grandparents. That's why they don't like my dad today.
Guess you can say that's a pretty big grudge to keep. So most of my life has been a debate of what and who to believe. I've been pushing it away for a while now, might as well keep pushing. For a while I never knew what to call home.
Until I moved in with my
grandparents. My grandparents are great but annoying at times but of course, I love them. I went to a school called small-fry I think it was a daycare maybe? If not pre-k. I was the kid who knew everyone. I was known as that kid with the 500 pack crayons with the sharpener on the back. Also meant I got all the babies. Ha. Then I attended New Jerusalem Academy for kindergarten and I believe first grade. Those years were a party. Teacher leaves the class, guess who's dancing on the table. I got into A LOT of trouble. I think I got kicked out which then brought me to Natural Bridge elementary. 2nd grade to 3rd were the years that I decided to mature. I got into trouble a little but I was an honor roll student. I was never good with women because I never had the right clothes or right shoes. Ignorant shit like that. Then W.j Bryan elementary. 4th grade was the best years of my life. I met my best friend who lives in Arizona now and I figured out women shouldn't be my concern all the time. Don't get me wrong I love women shit I would keep the ones I want for myself if I could. 5th grade was my hell years where everything just didn't want to go in my favor but ya know that's most of the time anyways. So that summer was my time to start acting right because as soon as August comes I'm a 6th grader. Pretty amazing that I made it saying that my teachers kept trying to flunk me because of my conduct grades. WELL FUCK YOU GUYS BECAUSE GUESS WHO'S STILL KICKING ASS IN SCHOOL. Anyways, 6th grade was pretty cool. I met most of the people I still chill with today and its added knowledge into the great person I am today. 7th grade was quick but pretty good. I met some more people and my favorite teachers who actually taught me something. 8th grade was a guilt trip. My language arts teacher didn't like me and I didn't like him. Every time he wanted to me to put something away he would threaten to stick it up my butt. What's up with that? But I had fun in his class because all my friends were there so it was pretty legit. Just last summer was when I grew out my hair and realized that I was in love with sneakers. I bought like 5-6 pairs in like a month. Summer was a whole 3 months of unplanned fun where I had to go with the flow. I chilled with my cousins and some friends. As summer was ending, I figured out who I wanted to be and what I wanted to do with myself as 9th grade was creeping up. Who I am today is a person who plays basketball 24/7 and focuses on getting shoes, clothes, hats, and most importantly, a LIFE. Maybe if its meant to be and time permits I will settle down and try to get a relationship with a girl who understands me and can put with my bullshit. But ya know I'll stick to my priorities and worry about figuring out who I am and what I should worry about. Might take a while but it has to be done because all of my life has been random and undiscovered. So from now on until I figure myself out, friends, relationships, and other nonsense can wait.
9th grade is on my ass now and here I am keeping to myself so I don't get into a fight with some dickhead who decides to try and lower my self-esteem. Its still early in the school year so this is just the beginning of Greatness.
