And the Drama Continues...
I have to admit, the last four weeks have been an emotional roller coaster.
The night that I got kicked out, I figured that it was temporary, because this isn't the first time something like this had happened. I figured that Mom, Dad and I just needed a few days to chill out and that we would talk and everything would be okay.
My brother Krys tried to come and tell me that this time would be different, but I didn't believe him, or it didn't register or something. It wasn't until the next day halfway through my shift at work that it finally hit me.
The next three days were spent in tears.
But slowly, I got back on my feet. I continued going to school and trying to focus on my homework. I did get a couple of Cs on some tests, because there was the thought in the back of my mind that with everything that was going on, school just didn't make the list of priorities at the moment.
Then school got really tough one week. I came down with a terrible cold and I had finals at school. It was completely overwhelming. Not only was I sick, but I had to deal with finals, plus I was at somebody else's house and all I wanted to do was go home.
I was miserable.
But once again, I got better. I stopped hacking up a couple of lungs and I got back on my feet and pushed forward.
Fast forward to today. I guess I had just let my guard down because I had managed to make it through my birthday without anything going wrong--it was a miracle!--and so I guess I just figured that I was out of the boiling pot.
Wrong.
I went over to my parents for supper and it was good, it really was. It was turkey soup with rice and vegetables. No, supper wasn't the problem. The fight afterward didn't make for a great dessert though. So, to make a very long story short, I managed to get kicked out of my house twice in four weeks. That's got to be some kind of a record.
I have been pushed to the ground once again. And I know that I'm going to get up again because there is nothing else to do. But I am beginning to wonder; how long will it be before I don't have the strength to stand up again?
