I'm thankful that I won't die alone...at least I'll have my cat

So, after a long and tortured trip, I finally made it to Atlanta this evening. I stopped in Raleigh last night to see my cousin and his new wife Bonnie.

What was supposed to be a 6 1/2 hour drive there took just over 10 hours after my battery first died and I had to jumpstart my car just to get on the road, and then, three hours into the drive, ( Read more... )

Did your tire blow out around Raleigh? That's where I hit that giant piece of tire and it like ripped up the underside of my car last summer! I think Raleigh has some issue with tires. haha.

Anyways, I know 100% how you feel about being a failure at 23. I feel like everyone in the world is doing better than me. I mean, I know you don't have a lot of money, but I still think you're doing better than I am because at least you are totally independent.

Also, on a random note, I met this kid last night that is friend of Latisha's and he went to Harding. I think his name was Kevin? I suck with names, but I think that was it...He's younger than us, but he said he sort of knew who you were. I don't know. I just thought it was weird that another person from Niceville went to Harding. You don't hear too many people that even know where that is!

It blew out about three hours away from Raleigh...but Raleigh was my destination, so maybe that counts, right?

I know I've just been down about it because I'm not living a cookie cutter life as some people expect me to and as most of the people I know are, so it's hard to be different and feel good about it at times...I know that bottom line, I'm doing what I love (which is nothing in particular and living my life for myself) and I wouldn't trade that for any of the lives of the people I've been comparing myself to.

That is really weird that you met him...I know who it is...Kevin Cherry I think. Odd. There's only a few people from Niceville that went there, most of us knew eachother because of it but not before we went there, weird.
