I came to that realization very recently also. Life is what you make of it, you get what you put in. I support you good luck in ALL your future endeavors. I actually said to myself, it's time to stop surviving and start living.
thank you!! i love that and i will remember it. i try not to make a habit of sitting aaround feeling sorry for myself. i despise people who do that. but i am pms-ing and i just feel like crying =[[ but thank you for the words of support=]]
Well I feel for you. I have also been where you are in similar ways. I have had to fight hard to get anything in life. Regardless, you realizing you have to do all the things necessary to change your life actually puts you in a point of power. Sink or swim it is all up to you. But this is actually a very exciting place to be in. So many people ride on the backs of others. The true leaders accept where they are and move forward. I have nothing but confidence in your ability to go forward. In a few years you will look back and say "I did it myself!" What a feeling of accomplishment that will be! You will look at others around you who blame the rest of the world for their problems. But inside you will know it is your strength and responsibility that drove you on. I am totally confident you will step up in life and get the things you desire.
Yeah, I empathise. It became apparent to me that if I wanted to anything out of life, I'd have to make it on my own. I had to make it on my own with the clothes on my back for a long time. But I think I built a lot of charecter. I'm smarter then any dropout I know, and I've figured out what I'm doing with my life. Everything became clear to me in my 20's. And I think I got a lot out of it. A lot of people don't learn to take care of themselves til their 30, which is a lesson I learned at 16. You can make it through homegirl.
Yeah, I agree with the guys. It does build a very strong character. You are much more ready for life than most people your age. Just don't let it bring you down too much, and don't ever settle for anything... because you will be able to get anything if you truly want it.
thank you boys, i dont know what i would do if i couldnt come here and rant once in awhile. im just not doing good right now at all. im having a lot of health problems, im having surgury pretty soon. and im just feeling sorry for myslef. because i want so bad to get out of here and have a real life and get away from all this but i cant if these things keep happening to me. im just freaking out right now.
sweety how long have i feared for your life because youve refused to escape an extremely negative and scary hell just because u felt a responcibility to take care of the very people who created that hell? what do you really owe them? memories no girl your age should have is all i see i know u feel bad cause others get everything and u get nothing (even though you sure desserve to be the 1 given the chances) but sweety, your lifes yours to live, not for them but for you u can go to college and learn to drive and do anything ypou want to do...if u choose to do what u want and not just do what u feel u have to do for the very people who are holding u back
wait..what? all these things keep jhappening for how many years now? and why? because u havent gotten away from them yet remember when we talked and you wanted to leave but you couldnt leave because you had yet another persons baby to take care of, yet another funeral to go to, ..week after week it was always 1 more thing..letting all the things u want to escape be the very things keeping you from going and then even the depression caused by being there can become an excuse for not being able to go.. i'm gonna kidnap u soon if i gotta
