learn to control my emotions
i've never thought of myself as an emotion person but... 1 month ago

last year i surprised myself by constantly breaking out crying uncontrollably in my last period of the day at school. i guess with stress at the core of it all, things like intense boyfriend troubles, hateful class debates on same-sex marriage, and watching my 16 year old cat die a bloody, painful death, just made me break down. This year I promised to get a hold of myself, but with my parents just announcing divorce it doesn’t seem too realistic of a goal. I guess I’m just tired of making a fool of myself.
