I don't know why I'm writing what I'm writing right now I guess it's just the heat of the night I have conflicting feelings and I'm not sure if I want to let people know or not which brings me here to this particular board instead of some other Expectations are high but self-esteem is low, and I feel like I'm half the person I used to be. I keep telling myself that everything is going to be okay like some kind of incantation, but can't help the feeling that I'm constantly bluffing. No more aces to play, but put on a poker face anyway. I guess I can't complain, since there are so many underprivileged people out there. Both my parents are healthy, and I am still young...well sort of. What more can I ask for? I had it too easy until now, and I have no one to blame but myself for the current mess I'm in. I'm usually not the type who believes in second chances, but I guess I have nowhere to go but forward. Ten, or maybe five years from now, I hope I can be the person whom my friends can brag about. After all, if I were to write an autobiography one day, what fun is my life if there were no ups and downs? No one would care to read it. Nothing to lose, everything to gain. Putting it like that, it doesn't seem so bad. Don't stress, relax. Life may be scary, but it's only temporary.
