Personal Narrative: Innocent Was Never The Archetype
Innocent was never the archetype I thought I would identify with the most but apparently, I match with it in more ways than one.
The main reason is that I will always look for best in every situation even if I know it might not be there. Although it does not perfectly describe me it is pretty close. I tend to be naive most of the time, which often leads to me getting walked over. This gets me in trouble by making me do things that I know are not right, all in the name of friendship. I know that's something that needs to be worked on but I know that I'd lose friends in the process and I don't like being alone.

    Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth. That was Tom's usual mode of concentration and contemplation, and so intent was the man's focus on the new case that all else slipped from his mind, even the recollection that he'd texted his wife. Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…

This has led me into a life that I am living now.…
