hero_farmboyTen years ago, I was 12 years old and let me tell you, life was a lot simpler back then. I knew I was different, but it didn't seem to matter so much and no one knew about it. It wasn't that big of a deal unless Dad really needed my help on a big farm job. I had no idea what my heritage really was and there was definitely no pressure or stress over it. Sure, it was still annoying at times, like when Dad wouldn't let me go out for any sports team, let alone football, but most of the time I pretty much felt normal.
I was still in Smallville Elementary and Chloe Sullivan had just come into my life. Which makes that age pretty special. Not only did we become the best of friends, but I also got my first kiss on that day. I guess you could say back then I was a pretty lucky guy.
My favourite activities included camping out in Pete's backyard, growing out of my clothes faster than Mom could mend them and helping out at the Farmer's Market. My parents had just started letting me do that when I was 10, so it was still a pretty major thing for me at 12.
Everything was so much easier back then, back when I didn't know, when no none knew. But it couldn't have lasted, so I'm happy I've got the memories I do of that time.
