Luc Bigg

As I sit in front of a dusty black keyboard, ridden with lower school children’s germs, I slowly type away at the attempt to define a boy, a teen in his mere prime of life at the fragile age of 16, My Subject; Luc Bigg.
He sits next to me humming the chorus of Katy Perry’s firework, over and over until realisation of the fact he needs to attempt some sort of progress in his product design work. He sits with great pride over the cheap child safe surface which bares a computer, as he stares adamantly at the screen in wonder; “what to do next.”
His ironed out blue shirt that clothes his chest sits slowly crumpling throughout the days work, as the clock ticks further towards 3.35pm. A break out from reality for a mere 48 hours of the prison known as sixth form.
Luc Bigg, an art, product design, business and financier in the making. He states, I drink I smoke, I shag, its clichĂ© but its what I do, yet when I say it out loud I just sound like a cunt.”
I rummaged through his bag to find the contents of his pre-consumption of what may or may not be a pencil case. Imminently it clicked. Just looking at the contents of his bag, I came into realisation of that his bag was; His mind set. One section full of books, and his future. Yet a small section of mess. Which in inability is his mindset, his enjoyment, his small thing to the side that keeps him going through the stress and anxiety of the ever so pressured lifestyle of a sixth former. His bit to the side; the drugs, the sex and everything else in-between. This is his free lance of life which allows him to be Luc Bigg, the small piece that adds to him. That separates him from the average blue shirted AS student.
I feel we will never understand the mind set of others around us, people say we can relate to one another. But the only thing we really can relate to is the fact were all on this planet, the individual difference of our own lifestyle and being, is something that no one can ever relate to.
Luc Bigg a complex mind, a complex person, a soul in the living world.
