How different I am now from the person I was when I last posted. It's like reading someone's else's words ( Read more... )

Nothing really new has been happening to me. I have been trying to change myself lately, though. Some say that a person never truly changes (of course that's bullshit), but I've been trying to change the way I interact with people because I do come off as very negative sometimes. Thankfully, the only negative influence still left in my life is ( Read more... )

Lately I've been feeling like some of my old friends have been distancing themselves from me, but I guess I'm not beating down their door either. I've been feeling odd these days anyway. I haven't been feeling negative emotions like I used to. I still get lonely, of course, but I've been feeling like loneliness isn't a bad thing. It just makes ( Read more... )

I guess I kind of don't realize why people would care about me and love me specifically if I don't offer them something ( Read more... )

The thought just recurred to me today that I might have heart surgery this summer. On top of that, I'm still not completely sure whether I can get back on health insurance without proof of continuous coverage, and unfortunately I have had no health insurance for months now. The thing that really pisses me off is that Katrina probably doesn't even ( Read more... )
