I am...

I am..
A son, a brother, and the oldest of three
Springfield Missouri with all of its beautiful features, and its few boring ones
A little boy running through my great-grandparents house, more than excited to go out in the backyard and help granddaddy with yard work
Jumping over my back fence to Garrett’s house since kindergarten until I was 12 or so, but times change and we grow out of certain friendships
A guitar player and someone who loves music, it can make a bright day even better and help cure a day where you just aren’t feeling it
My first dogs, playing with them and my family all the time, and my two new dogs
Chic-Fil-A, Sushi, and Japanese food, which I of course had last night
A good student, who doesn’t like school just as much as most people
A sushi chef and dishwasher at Tasia since the summer I turned 16
Into the Wild, my favorite and most inspiring book I have read
My new black G35 that I am lucky enough to have as a teenager
Not a little kid anymore, I am 18, and am enjoying almost every part of it
Sad sometimes, thinking about the old times spent with all of my family that I enjoyed so much, and the fact that now, I mostly look forward to time with my girlfriend and friends.. But this is part of growing up I guess, we only have 24 hours every day..
In love with my sweet, beautiful girl that is an amazing support system and has already helped me get through so much and makes me happy every day
I am, in the future..
A happy man with a job that I enjoy
In good contact with my family and still get to see my sister dance, probably professionally, and my brother play soccer
In a nice, cozy, nostalgic house with my gorgeous princess
In a city where we both love living


In love

  1. Thanks for sharing this, Keaton! I really love your vision for the future, a simple, loving, "nostalgic" life, and I can relate to your great memories of being at your grandparents' house and missing the simplicity of childhood. I look forward to reading more of your writing!

  2. Hey Keaton!! I am also the oldest of three, but instead, to two sisters. I went to daycare with Garrett (fun fact). Please make me some sushi, that sounds so good. You are very lucky to have such an awesome car!! You are right about us only having 24 hours in a day and sometimes even that is not enough. Cherish the moments, they are amazing. (-:

  3. What's up Keaton! I really agree with you on the time aspect. It feels long, but short at the same time. I would love to have your car, so if it's stolen, I probably stole it..... haha. It was great to read, and look closer at who you are.
