I’m planning on doing this as soon as I get to talking to her again. She can be nice. All I need for her is to respect my opinion when it differs from hers because I show her that respect. I also don’t like the way she has tried to make me say I don’t love my dad. It sounded like “If you love him, you’ll do this for him.” What I needed to do had nothing to do with me loving my dad or not. She got mad that I “felt” a certain way. CAN WE HELP THE WAY WE FEEL ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS?? In short, I am tired of: always feeling like I can’t talk to her about anything without feeling threatened, always having to be the one to back down, and making her feel like she has “won” the fight even though she’s wrong. ARGH!

I have journaled since I was 7 and I still do. What’s great is that you can look back, read your entries and instead of just seeing yourself grow through pictures, you read on how your sentences have become more complex and articulate through the years. I used to write about everything! My first crush was a big topic (where are you now Bobby Richardson?), fights with my sister, family, world events (Septmeber 11th), and college. Now, I am writing about wedding plans and house-shopping. A journal also is a great representation of history. I strongly recommend for everyone to write in a journal, or an e-journal (like one on Word). NOT a blog, not a post, but a journal where all your entries are in order and in your view!!
Whew! There he was in the shower and I didn’t have the heart to just flush him down the shower drain so I inched him along until he could find a good spot to settle.
