I do it without thinking. That pumping up of myself to others. Sometimes, I catch myself at it, and think, either everyone is busy doing this also, or these people think I’m a total fool. Either way, this behavior cannot be complimentary….

Hi All,

I just discovered this site today, and whew! Why, why, why haven’t I ever tried this before? I’ll try not to rain on anyone’s parade, but this is terrific to be able to express your views and get some positive (or any) feedback in the process.

Well, here it is around 10pm at night, back home from my second job. I have so much to be thankful for, but everyday is a struggle. I’m living with very generous friends who’ve agreed to take me in after I lost my new car, my apartment, my family, and my self respect. Not everyday is easy, but I still have all my digits, my eyesight, my brain…and for that I’m happy. I’ve had a hell of three years, but in honesty, it was my fault. My choices put me here.

I’m giving myself one more month to try and clean up the mess I’ve made. If I can’t it’s home to Ma’s. The one person who won’t shut me out. Everyday’s a gift. I’m just learning to appreciate that. Everyday is also a fight (with myself) to remind myself that I’m on my second second chances, and I’ll actually have to fight to get everything back.

Sorry if this dosen’t make sense to anyone else, but I understand it…and appreciate the outlet.

Keep on Keepin’ On…Smile

I’m agreeing with a few people here at this site. Being able to speak only English leaves me feeling inadequate. The amount of people I’ve met in my life who know two or more languages has been enough to convince me that I’ve been living in my own small world. But since opportunities are plentiful, I would really like to try to accomplish this one goal.
