Family
I cannot count the times throughout my life that I couldn’t wait to get away from my family. Whether it was my mother, my brother, grandparents, or whoever, I just couldn’t wait to get away. I have found that now that I AM away from my family, I cannot wait to get back to them. Family helps to keep you going when you feel all is lost. Family is there when you need an honest opinion. If it wasn’t for my mother I don’t know what I would do. She has been my rock these last several months and for that I will always be in her debt. My cousin Heather has also been an ever-constant support system. She is one of the most amazing people I know! There are no words to describe what a all around wonderful person she is. Even my brother has been supportive and loving lately, which is wonderful and a little scary lol. My grandmother is the glue that holds us all together. I have know idea what I would do without her in my life. She can always put a smile on my face. All I have to do is think about her and I’m automatically happier than I was just a moment before! My point is, don’t count your family out. They won’t count you out, and you never know when you will need them. You truly never do know just how precious family is until they aren’t readily available to you anymore.
Patience
I have found that after 25 years of being told I must learn a little patience….I still have absolutely NONE!
JUST DEAL WITH IT
There will always be bad days and good days. You will always have happy days and sad days. You will always find people who like you and people who don’t. There will always be things you want but can’t get and things you want that you get. This could go on forever, the point is that things are going to play out the way they will and you can’t do much to change it. There isn’t much of a point in complaining about it or doing something you might just regret. The only thing you can do in life is make the best out of the situation you are given and JUST DEAL WITH IT!
Crack Heads
Some people smoke crack. I know this because some people act really stupid. So stupid, in fact, it must be the cause of crack. Crack does not do a body good. Crack does not make you smarter, hotter, or bigger. Crack heads are not in touch with reality. CRACK IS WACK!! Remember that!
It is a shame that I even have to write this. I mean really! What is the appeal of crack? Can anyone help me to understand why people feel they must publicly display their crack head habits? Anyone? Anyone at all? (Of course if you are a crackhead your opinion doesn’t count and I don’t want to hear from you…just sayin!)
Home
There’s nothing quite like home after being away for a couple years. I have grown a new fondness and appreciation of my home town. I can’t believe how beautiful Erie is and I never even noticed
