I'd like to begin this post by saying that this blog will not be about me and my ever so typical high school life but I do think that you deserve to know a little background knowledge about me. Like I said my name is Ryan Parent and I'm currently 17 years old. I live in Chardon with my mom because my parents divorced many years ago and my dad never tried too hard to be a part of my life. I have one sibling named Amanda who I would do anything for. She's 21 and currently a senior at Ohio University. I've had a pretty blessed life to be completely honest but it has never been very easy for me seeing as I suffer from clinical depression, severe anxiety, and mild ADHD. To those of you who know me, this may surprise you. Throughout many years of practice I've learned how to mask my emotions because let's face it, no one wants to hang out with a pity party. When my dad moved out I was very young and I think that the responsibility I was forced to take on greatly attributed to these conditions of mine. I would never ask for anyone to feel sorry for me though. If it weren't for these obstacles in my life I know that I would be nowhere near the person I am today. I like to think that pain is an emotion that can mold some of the strongest people and cause them to do great things in life. Enough about that though, this is about me introducing myself. I'm a very passionate person whether it be with writing, interaction, or especially music. For as long as I can remember music has been the one muse that both inspires and motivates me. I would love to find my way into the music industry one day simply to say I was there with the people who mean so much to kids everywhere that are like me. I have a lot of big dreams like this but hey, what is the journey of life without a grand destination? To end this post I'd like to leave you with one of my favorite quotes with hopes to make you think. "In a society where all adventure has been destroyed, the only adventure left is to destroy that society." -Unknown

The Beginning Part 2
