Trying.

Between how it is, and how it should be.

My name is Peter Cartwright. I am 17 years old living in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. I will be studying History and Education at Illinois State University. I love people, food, writing, photography, sports, and parties. I'm heavily influenced by the blues, cheesy romance, the literary works of Kurt Vonnegut and Ralph Waldo Emerson, but mostly by my own life experiences.

There seems to be a common trend with all human interaction. Things change most rapidly with the application of a little effort. When one comes to the realization of whatever he or she wants, half the battle is already won. I know what I want.

So, here you go. This is me. Trying.
