April 16, 04
Things are going ok ive been feeling a lot better lately, well Monday I had my drama and so me and my boss were talking and hes been trying to get me into his little cult as I say, but this time I finally opened up my eyes and listened and he prayed for me and ive been doing good. Maybe that’s what I needed, I finally get it now I guess im finally growing up! Im an adult! Scary huh! But ive come to realize that there’s more to life than material things, yeh im trying to do good for my future and all but I know there’s more to my than that, I know that im for a reason I don’t what it is yet, and im trying to figure it out, and I know eventually I will! I know god put us all on this earth for a reason, I have so many questions and no answers! Im trying to just get by everyday! Its hard I have so many responsibilities now, and I just found out im going to have even more, well when I was in Florida I went and saw a psychic and she told me that I was going to have trouble with a male family member and that someone was going to give me something, well my grandma told me yesterday that she’s giving us my mom house and I’ve been trying to tell them that I only want to do what’s right for my parents see my mom and dad are both mentally disabled I mean there not dumb they know things but they cant manage money, and those kinds of things for themselves, it was hard for me growing up with parents like them and that’s a whole different story but the point is if something ever happens to my grandparents Im the one that has to take care of them which is no big deal because I do it already when they need to g to the store or anything I do it, not my, aunt or uncle hell they don’t even visit them, so I know there’s going to be big drama, this Sunday there all coming to my house to talk about, and my uncle and his dumb wife are greedy and being stupid! They want it all and it’s not my fault they fucked up with there lives and ive done good for myself. I just want to do what is right for them and he doesn’t see it that way. Hell they don’t even realize how hard it is for me, they see money. And its not about that. Well whatever I don’t care we’ll see what happens. So as I was saying my spiritual voyage has actually been making me feel better, Ive been sleeping better, feeling better, im trying hard to work on my self esteem but its hard Im realizing the reason why I want to be somebody is because I want to feel good about myself, and that’s the only way I think that will make me feel that way, which I know now is stupid! My boss gave me this book to read, it’s about realizing what my purpose here is. And I keep coming back to the same thing, and its to help people, I don’t know how or what but that’s the only thing that makes me feel good! I feel so fortunate that I feel like I should share it with people. I know I be tripping but life all of a sudden means so much more to me.

Sometimes in life we take on too much, not realizing how things can effect us mentally and physically, well I have a little insomnia problem first of all, whether it be because of drugs I did before or just because im paranoid! And well it never seemed to be a problem I got used to it not sleeping, but with everything going on in my life right I think not sleeping pushed me over the edge not just that, but with the whole new house and moving & everything! I think I was just trying to do too much, and yesterday I fell apart big time! And that’s not me to do it especially at work, I don’t want people to know that im week, or see the real me! But I couldn’t take it! I’ve been doing everything! Mark helps but just lately ive been feeling overwhelmed with everything! I didn’t come to work last Thurs. & Friday so that I can move & I come back to work and nothings done! I guess that’s just were I lost it, I swear I felt like I was having an emotional breakdown I scared myself! I hadn’t felt that bad in a long time! I don’t know what’s wrong with I just feel emotionally drained, I feel like I have everything I could possibly want, a new house, a pool, a Jacuzzi, money, etc. but I still feel like something’s missing, like all the material things in this world still don’t make me happy I feel empty. So yesterday I had this talk with my supervisor and I think I mentioned him before, the person that’s made an impact on my life, well just the way he looks at life so so…I cant even explain, so yeh he’s all into religion, and I believe in a higher power and im not turning all Tammy Faye Baker but as crazy as it may seem maybe just maybe that’s what im lacking, spiritual guidance whether its all mentally or whatever I feel like I keep making the same mistakes in life over & over, and well ever since the whole Beto incident I feel like he’s been trying to reach me, but I keep pushing him away I know I sound crazy but its true. I think there comes a time in our lives when we get older and don’t need to do the things in life we did when we were young! I don’t get that craving for drugs or going out anymore, and I thought it would never come down to this and no im not becoming a Mormon! I still love the occasional beer or 2 or 5 haha, but I feel like maybe its time to settle down and start A family, my life is flying by so fast I can’t mentally keep up! Maybe its time I start to do better things with my life. I get so scared sometimes that im just going to lose it and everyday is a struggle for me and as I tried to tell my cousin Leslie people like her cant possibly understand a person like me, shes strong and thinks well why cant you just brush it off, and if it were that easy I would but I struggle with life everyday, every second! Its hard being me! I wish I could be like Joel or Mark or her! But im not the littlest things are hard for me, driving to work, working, shopping, sleeping, and facing the day! I just want to be happy!, and when Mark came into my life I felt like that piece of me that was missing for so long was finally there, and its not him, I thank God everyday for him he is truly my angel! But it’s me! I hope he understands that I hate having to put him through this I love him to death & don’t want to hurt him. Well I actually feel a lot better today I prayed last night to please have courage and let me sleep I was scared yesterday the first time by myself, with no TV im used to watching TV to go back to sleep, so I starting hearing things and it was awful but last night I slept really well, thank you Jesus I needed it so bad just one night of rest. And I feel a lot better today! I feel energized! Well ok enough of my sad story ill get by, well my house is cool we pretty much moved everything this past weekend, I still want to paint you know me I cant stand white walls but other than that I like my house, I still need to get used to it though it kinda feels like im in someone else’s house, but I love the pool we went swimming on Saturday and Sunday I didn’t even want to get out! I think im the little mermaid, haha Well allrighty I better get back to work ill be ok….ill keep telling myself!

Why does work have to be so tedious? Same shit over and over I can never just take a fricken break I don’t know I cant see myself here much longer, but what the hell else am I going to do with my life? School? I don’t know im going loco esay! Well last night I went to Uncle Joes dads rosary, I grew up with his family so I consider them family, it was sad I swear ive been to one funeral right after another this year! What’s going on? Everyone is dying on me, I guess im just getting older and everyone around me is too… its kinda scary when you think about it pretty soon everyone I love will be gone! And of course I can’t help think of my grandparents I know that ill be in there position one day and it scares me! I can’t imagine life without them! Life is scary one day you’re here and the next your long gone… and you cant do anything about it. Well it got me thinking about my life, see the one thing I love about there family is that they’re so close everyone stays in touch, and my family everyone just does there own thing I know everyone has there own family’s to worry about but to me my grandparents are the world to me I try to spend as much time with them as I can because I know there getting old. But everyone else just seems to take them for granted. I know I say I don’t want kids and im scared as hell! But I don’t want to die lonely with no family around! I guess maybe its time to seriously start thinking about it. Yes im scared and I don’t know shit about kids, hell ive never even changed a diaper before but I suppose ill learn, I just get this feeling sometimes from Mark that he thinks im going to be a bad mother and that’s why he doesn’t want to have kids with me. And it makes me feel bad, I know im not all great or whatever but im going to try, I want to be the mother I never had. I want to teach my child about life and philosophy and teach them not to judge people on what they see. But hey I guess well just see what happens and let life take me wherever it wants…..

Today I feel like shit! I just came back from vacation and I cant seem to get into the hang of things im forgetting what im supposed to say, its taking me forever to do just one thing, my body feels exhausted and its only going to get worse im not going to have any time to rest, my vacation was cool we went to Disney World, Universal Studios, and Bush gardens. I just wasn’t physically prepared for that kind of vacation next time were going somewhere, we can just lounge all day, and do shit, but it wasn’t all that bad just a lot of walking! A lot! I swear I hadn’t gotten that much exercise in a long time, and so that’s when I figured out that I was getting old! Before we would be cool wed go and be out all day long! but fuck I swear by the end of the day all I wanted to do Is sleep! My feet were killing me im like I need some fucking S.A.S like the old women wear. i cant hang like I used too! It kinda scares me! Is this what its like to be old? Your body starts to hurt in places you never thought about. Im like shit I need a vacation from my vacation. Well we had fun though I just can’t believe how big Disney World is, its no wonder its called world! Its fricken huge! Supposingly it’s the size of San Francisco I can see why it’s a whole world within itself! Florida is nice cheap! But the weather is weird! It rained Monday & Tuesday its weird though its like 80 degrees and hot but ugly as hell outside! But the rest of the time it was nice we did so much saw so much they have like 5 theme parks within the place so we did something different everyday! It was cool we went out a few times but I was like too tired to even want to do anything! They have a place called Pleasure Island they have like 8 clubs there they had this one gay club called Mannequins it was a bad ass club! Cool lights the whole dance floor moved in a circle it was cool I was telling everybody I was from San Francisco they were all excited they were like oh I wanna move there! “im like yeh these clubs aint got nothing on SF” it was fun the clubs close at 2:00 so we didn’t party that much. Over all it was cool I don’t know maybe its just me but I start to feel so bad when im around Beto I cant help wondering if he blames me still I still have this guilt that I feel, and I cant feeling like his man hates me like he blames us too! I don’t know, it feels awful still im so traumatized I don’t even have any desire to do anything anymore! Well as for the plane ride it was allright it was about 4 hours& 45 minutes it was long but it went by pretty fast, Michelle gave me some stuff to take I don’t even know what the hell it was but it knocked me out! So It did the trick, I was fine on the way over there we even went out after, but on the way back I felt weird like I was hallucinating or something like I close my eyes and I still see as clear as if my eyes are open but I can see like another place like im somewhere else, it was strange anyways. Im back to work vacation is long gone and I have so much to do the only bad thing about going on vacation I have to come back to hella shit! No one does shit for me and now get this H.S.A the company that funds us is not going to anymore so they wanna make everyone TA’s even me! And im like wait a minute im already at the bottom of the chain, they already gave me a promotion with no pay and now they want to do it again with more work and again no pay im just so irritated yeh we have good vacation and shit but hell they keep giving me all this work and no more money im like pissed and they want to do it again! I hate this place! I applied for a job at Delta College but I got a letter saying they weren’t going to interview me! Fuck well I applied for 2 positions so hopefully ill hear something soon, its doing the same shit but 3 times more than what I make here! I don’t feel like doing shit and I have so much to do! Well 2 more weeks until we move, we’ve been packing things im excited it’ll be a cool summer, I just don’t want to think about everybody coming over and bugging the shit out of me! Oh well I guess that’s the price im going to have to pay to having a pool….
