15 is a superb age to be, so many mistakes to make, so much fresh stuff to do and see. I'm 40 as of last month, I've seen a bit, I'm a little jaded and weatherworn now, but I'm cool with that. Now my dad left when I was 8, since then I figured I didn't need him. It's only now I have my own toddlers I realise I have a gap in my psyche where events with him should be. Ce la vie.

You've got to make your own path in this world if there is no longer somebody there to show you the way into manhood, it's sink or swim time brother.

I think you've got to look inside and ask yourself for the truth-what do we really want out of this life we've been given?

You were a winner at conception.
Out of the millions, you crossed the line first, keep that in mind- I find it helps.
Find what you love and be true to it.
