January 2010
I get held hostage in my own home after finding out I was cheated on for the 4th time.
March 2010
My turtle mysteriously dies under the care of an asshole ex.
April 2010
I lose my first apartment, along with all my money and many of my valued belongings.
June 2010
I fail a class I was sure I would pass. I move in with my younger sister. BIG mistake!
September 2010
A fraudulant company takes $200 from my bank account.
October 2010
An ovarian cyst causes me to lose my job of 2 years and a great job opportunity. And my frog dies.
November 2010
I get sent to the ER and get a ridiculous bill in the mail.
December 2010
I lose all interest in living here. My other turtle dies.
This passed year has been full of difficult changes, pain(both physical and emotional), loss, disappointment and way too much stress. However, I can honestly say, that I am truly blessed. I have always believed that things could always be worse. And I know for a fact they could be. I could be part of a family who doesn't give a shit about what happens to me. I still could be with someone who treats me like nothing more than an object and think of myself as just that. I could be living on the streets. I could be living this life without the most amazing person I have ever met.
But no. I have everything I need to get by. A roof over my head, a loving family to turn to and the perfect man to live my life with(who I happened to meet in the middle of all the chaos, luckily. I would have given up a long time ago). I want things to get better already. I want to do good in school. I want to get out of this stupid town and be with my boo. I want to be happy. But I know that waiting is not aways a bad thing. The more I wait, the more I will appreciate the things I get.
I love my family and the friends I have made on SG. Most of all I love Mikey. Without him I would have given up on everything. Despite wanting bigger and better things, I do appreciate all that I have in my life. The good always out weighs the bad. And I know that with patience, faith and a smile, life will eventually be exactly as I had always dreamt.
