Aodhan,
I love the time of day between the sunset and total darkness. It has always seemed like some sort of magical in between phase. I guess I like it because that's where I've felt my life and who I am as a person has always been.
If you are anything like me, you will probably find that most of the time, you don't fit in with the majority of society. THAT'S OK! We are a different breed. Kind of like Gonzo from the Muppets. It's taken me years to figure this out, and I hope you figure it out sooner than I did. If you can come to terms with this and view it as an advantage, the world is your oyster.
Being a quick learner and being able to master a variety of things will serve you well if you don't waste it. I'm rambling here, but the best way to describe our situation is to imagine that the vast majority of the world sees the world on a linear path at eye level, People like you and I see it in 3d on a spinning globe. Seeing the world from a different angle will often make you make decisions that will baffle a lot of people.
STICK TO YOUR GUNS! I assure you, I will support you, and I will tell you if I think what you're doing is likely to backfire. Sometimes, when you're old enough(key words here!), you'll probably make a decision that your mom and I will disagree with, but that's the joy of being different and unique. I will also never give you crap about doing crazy stuff to your hair or clothes. Ask grandma about my choices in clothes, music, or hairstyle when I was in high school.
I love you,
Dad
