Delaney

Delaney harmonay.

One thing about me that I’m actually proud of is my name. Delaney Mackenzie Harmonay. One of the most unique names around if I do say so myself. You’d think that my parents picked out that name months before I was born, but they put it off. They were stuck in the delivery room trying to name me. It took 4 hours for them to come up and agree with a name like that. At first I was going to be a Hannah or Hailey. How my parents pulled Delaney Mackenzie out of their heads is still a mystery to me, but I’m happy they did. Once I introduce myself to a stranger, the first thing they comment on is my name saying how lucky I am to have such a name. I am lucky I suppose, I mean, I’d hate to be another Mary or Jennifer.
 * 1) 1 I’d like to introduce myself…

Usually when someone is asked about their big brother, the first thing out of there mouth is something about hating them, or that they wish they were an only child. I, on the other hand love my brother with all my heart, and I have no idea what I would do without him. My brother is favorite person in the world. We have been through a lot together in my 15 years of existence. Between my parent’s divorce and moving to a different state, he was right there with me. All the hard things in my life, he understands because he feels the same way. He’s a little taller than me and he has two colossal earrings in both ears. My family is always making fun of him for his earrings but he doesn’t care. Also, he’s the type of person that notices random things about a person, and that’s one thing I love about him. One time I mentioned smoothing about a girl that we both knew, and he proceeded to point out that she has long toes. I don’t know how he noticed that, but there’s Stephen for you. He is my brother, but more than that, he is my best friend. When he isn’t home, he’s with his friends. I never really know what he’s up to half the time, but I’m sure he’s having a blast doing it. Mom and Dad aren’t too fond of things he’s done in his past. Most of the time they say he is a ‘disappointment’ or something. Well, he isn’t a disappointment, at least not to me. My parents might not understand him or see his potential, but I do. He’s no straight A student, and that’s a shame really. He truly is smart; he just doesn’t know how to use it to his advantage yet. I’m sure one day he’s going to accomplish something big, and he’s going to be the one saying I told you so.

You may not know this about me, but music is my life. It is my passion, my obsession if you will. So every chance I get, I try and go to a concert. My favorite concert is Bamboozle. It’s not really a concert, but a music festival. Hundreds of bands go to this event and hundreds of people go to listen. I go every single year. Last year was exceptionally fun because I met new people there. I was sitting on a curb while my friend was buying water, trying to recover from the craziness of the last band I saw. I saw a couple of kids sitting near me. They looked like the type of people I would associate myself with, so I said hello. They asked me why I was sitting alone and I responded that I was waiting for a friend. We proceeded to chat. We went on about bands we liked and were excited to see. By that time my friend had come back and I introduced her to my new found friends. We spent the rest of the weekend with them, and had the time of our lives.It was one of the happiest points in my life, not only because it’s a day that’s solely based around music, but also I made new friends that I still talk to today.

My neighborhood is a block of strangers. I don’t think I know one family on my street. They can be the weirdest people ever and I wouldn’t even know it. I wouldn’t mind though, as long as they don’t bother me. I suppose I do wish I have a neighborhood that has been mine since I was born. Most of my friends have lived on the same street for as long as they can remember. People I know have neighbors that are there best friends in the whole wolrd because they grew up living near each other. I must say, that does sound nice, but I cant complain. I tend to not dwell on things that im missing out on, in order to stay happy.

 * 1) 5 We haven’t met yet

I’m waiting to find ‘you’. ‘You’ as in ‘you’. ‘You’ as in the person who takes over all my thoughts. 'You' as in the one who loves me just as much i love them. I’m waiting for the one who needs me like I need them. I’m waiting for you to take my breath away solely by your presence. . I’m waiting for the moment that I know everything will be alright because I’ll have all I could ever want. Complete and true happiness.


 * 1) 6 a Place

My mom is always telling me to keep my room neat because it reflects who you are as a person. I never really thought about it, but she’s right. My room is a complete definition of me, and as you explore deeper into my room you’ll learn more and more about me. Look around and you’ll see posters everywhere. I have Bob Marley all over my walls, because he’s one of my many inspirations. Then, after you notice my collection of posters, you’ll notice a guitar. People never really know I play guitar until they walk into my room and see my beautiful red guitar sitting proudly on its stand. When they see it, they immediately ask me if I play. My bedroom is much more than a place where I sleep, it’s a place that’s all mine. It’s place where my world makes sense. A place where I can kick you out and there’s nothing you can do about it.


 * 1) 7 a possession

I have a list of things to do before I die. Its very important to me, because my goal to lead an exciting and fulfilled life. The list helps me point out specific things I want to do. I have 50 things on there now. It’s a big range of different things, between going parasailing to getting a tattoo.


 * 1) 8 a change

High school was one of the biggest changes in my life. In 8th grade, I didn’t realize that upon entering high school, my world was going to change. Life was simple before, and now I’m overwhelmed with so many different obstacles in my life. It almost feels like I’m growing up way too fast. I’m treated more like an adult now, and sometimes it’s a really good thing, but it’s also overwhelming. In middle school I had no idea who I was, or what I wanted to do, and I was fine with that. Now everyone is grilling me with questions about colleges and what I plan to do with my life. I respond to them saying that im only a kid, and I have time to do my own thing and enjoy life as it comes to me. They just tell me that my head is in the clouds, because I’m not a kid anymore, and I have to take more responsibility in choosing my future. But, quite frankly, I’m not sure how I can be down with that. My head may be in the clouds, but I kind of like the view.
