Some Lists

Things That Make Me Feel Shitty About Myself:

- My mother and her thankless demands
- Steve and his emotional abuse
- Old "friends" who don't understand or care to try to understand my time in Japan
- People who make me feel like I am incapable of doing things even though I've already done them in my life

Things That Make Me Feel Happy and Good About Myself:

- Spending time with Chris and his own joie de vivre
- Working at the Sports Center with fun and supportive co-workers
- People who give me opportunities and responsibilities
- Talking to those friends from all over the world who are adventurous and easy-going

Goals for the Summer:

- Cut out those negative influences from my life, or at least don't let them get to you
- Work your ass off and save all your money so you can move the fuck out, have your own space, and be happy and at peace again
- Surround yourself with those positive influences and keep those people close to you

This is my life, I have a right to be happy. Things that do not make me happy are not welcome in my life. I will do what I need to do to make my life a happy one.
