My name is Matthew Thomas Linenbroker. I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, but am currently attending the University of Missouri, Columbia (though my Facebook page claims I am currently attending Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry). I am an only child and a member of a big, fat italian family. I am a 18 year-old Freshman, and, as of now, this is who I am:
I am a writer. I am a watcher of the world. I
am a wanderer, a daydreamer. I fall in love with places I’ve never seen and
people I’ve never met. I live in my head as much as I live in the real world. I
let my thoughts carry me away to far off lands – to castles, to islands, to
planets, to comfy couches, to London streets. I am determined to become an
adventurer, to see the world, to not let my dreams be only dreams.
I am a self-professed idealist. I am
a student with high hopes. I live with an identity of what I could become,
because I am still falling, yet to land. I am not entirely sure I will ever
land – I don’t know if anyone ever does. Right now, I am simply a Journalism
and English dual major who loves to tell stories.
I am nervous. I am a creature of
habit and comfort. Change is my greatest enemy, yet also my most beloved
friend. I am anxious, a clinical worrier. I tell myself to “Keep Calm and Carry
On” at least three times a day. I am cursed with a genetic nature, a cocktail
of neuroses that I can’t quite escape. But I am both a lover and a
fighter.
I am hoping. I am trying. I am a
work in progress.
