i made it through high school. obviously. however, i would have never guessed i would have accomplished this much over the past years. next week, i will officially receive my high school diploma in front of the entire class of 2003, and the thousands of people watching. in the audience will be my family of course...as im sure they have been waiting

I have been telling Mr. Tinnin about my mother neglecting me troubles and he is going to bring me Dr. Phill tapes.

It wont help the situation. but one could hope.

If nothing else, I understand the irrational need to impress another family member. For me, it's my dad even though he's rarely been involved at all in my life. It's weird how we feel that way.

[clearly_defined]

in truth, it really is weird. i have continuously driven to impress my family because of their on going attitude toward my sexuality. it seems, i have began to impress them more than ever because of their negative aspect. it seems to me, that they should be considerate, loving, and rational about my entirety...because i am a part of the family too. in all it hurts that it seems as if i have to work harder to get the attention i desire, and deserve.

it DOES hurt. and i'm not one to cry arbitrarily or often, but when my dad voted Yes on Proposition 22 back in, what, '99 I think, and after I'd come out to him later and asked whether he'd regretted it and he said NO, I cried. I cried hard, right in front of him, which killed my pride. This culture sucks. In some cultures, diversity of sexual orientation is praised. I don't understand why so many people hate it. i really just don't get it.
