..it’s been a while since I’ve made an entry here. I guess I have just been waiting until I was actually ‘ready’ to ‘talk’, I guess. I really enjoy reading everyones entries here; some make me laugh, some make me smile…and some make me nod in agreement. But, it terms of this specific goal…I am slowly getting to the point where I’m happy with myself. There are alot of things that I am unhappy about…as far as things about myself. It stems alot from the loss of a very close friend that I lost. She was my heart and my all…and it’s really taking me a toll on me….rather it’s hard for me to get focused and do what I have to do. It’s really hard when you’re doing it all alone. But I’m getting stronger as the days go by, and I’ll make it. It just takes me telling myself this, over and over again.

Well, son, I’ll tell you: Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. But all the time I’se been a-climbin on….
