Okay. This is defintely my first "journal" entry since probably 5th grade. haha. I'm thinking this whole journal thing could be a good type of "therapy." And I use that term loosely. I feel like i've lost touch with a lot of people in the past year. And more importantly, a lot of friends. A few good ones at that. So I don't really have that many people that I can turn to when I need to talk about something. Or get something off my chest. But just writing things down really helps out. It at least seems to sooth whatever is bothering me. So, this is why i've now got a live journal. I'm going to try to write in it every night. But I know that won't happen - so let's shoot for 4 nights a week, at least. I know that no one will probably read this. I don't even care. It's more for myself than for people to come here and see whats going on in my life. Although, if you'd like to know what's goin on in my life - i'm sure this journal will give you a good look inside my life.
Life lately seems to be really...not good. "Shitty" is a good term. Probably the "shittiest" my life has been in a long time. It seems like the older you get (I'm scared to grow up), the more that problems arise and kick you in the chest. Sometimes they'll knock you down. Sometimes you may just stumble. But one way or another you always have to get back up. Or catch your balance at least. Right now, i'm looking for something to grab onto to catch my balance and pull myself back up before I hit the ground.
So if you're wondering why I think my life is so shitty right now...let me give you a quick play-by-play.
I was dating this girl like 2 months back. We met at the bank. Hung out like a week later. She was really cool. I even let her sleep over (in my bed with me) the first night we hung out. That's more probably because we were both a little buzzed - and attracted to each other, but I WAS quite comfortable around her. But that's not the case. She's always had bad luck with guys, from the stories she would tell me. She would always tell me that I was a good guy and she'd hope I actually stuck around. We were never really "official" boyfriend/girlfriend status...but if you hadn't known that - you'd swear we were a couple. After like 3 months, things ended. We haven't talked since. I'm not going to go into why things ended. It's not relevant to this story. But I liked the girl, I was a little upset about things ending out of nowhere. Especially for the fact that she would always say she hoped i'd stick around (even to her friends). If you hang out with someone 5 days a week for 3 months all while kissing/snuggling/sleepovers you're eventually going to catch feelings them. So this is the start of life getting shitty. If the girl that i'm talking about is reading this, i'm sorry - I don't mean to make you feel like you started my downward spiral in life. It was just the first event in a sequence of really shitty events.
(I'm not even sure why this girl & I don't talk. I think we're both stubborn. I won't call her, and she won't call me. I wish we could be friends...)
Three days later, I get laid off from my job along with 10 other people. People who had been there 10 years. That really seemed to put me over the edge. I didn't have a lot of money saved. I have a handful of bills every month. phone, car payment, insurance payment, macbook payment, and past debt payments. So glad I didn't have my own place, otherwise I would have had to move home. So that was over a month ago and the unemployment people are retards and fuck things up - so I haven't even started getting unemployment checks from them yet. Being broke REALLY sucks. It's one of the worst feelings in the world. Amongst being jealous or heartbroken.
So far, within 3 days, I had lost a girl I was really into, and the best job I EVER had. I think that would almost make any human being pretty mad about life haha.
Next thing to happen is my mother moving out for the second time. I'm NOT getting into this either. But i'll let it be known that I really do not respect my father. Enough said.
I want to go away to school. But I have no money. and i'm not taking out student loans because I don't want to be paying them off the rest of my life. I've already done 5 semesters at a community college. But after 2 years I realized I was wasting the only money I had on something I did not even want to be my career for the rest of my life. So I stopped going. I really want to go to school for recording arts. But everywhere is so expensive. I could choose from schools in Orlando, Chicago, NYC, and LA. I really wish I had the money to do this.
But before all this happened. Things really were great in my life. I had a good job and I had money all the time. I had a really cool chick that I could spend all my extra time with. AND my parents were getting along.
But the point of this entry was that i'm not happy with life right now.
and I don't know what's out there that is going to turn that around for me.
It really sucks. I hope something changes soon.
I need summer to get here. Quick!
If you sat there and read all this. You're pretty freaking amazing. :]
OH! and I think i'm going to take a pic of myself everytime I write in this thing. Just because. Maybe it'll make things a little more interesting.
