i'm done sitting in the back of the classes carving on the desk looking at the clock every second hoping that my mind deceved me and it had really been 10 minutes. i need to realize that what i'm doing will affect me before it's too late. i've spent the last 6 years barely making it by when i used to be the one shit talking everyone else for not being like me. i use the same excuse everytime: "i get bored with it. they go too slow for me". yeah it is true but it doesn't matter. it's not a good enough excuse for me anymore. i need to grow up and see that i'm not always going to be able to be shieled by my mom and have her support me.
i am honestly one of the only people i know who doesn't have a job or who has never had a job. pathetic much?
i guess that's what i get. i grew up being the kid that would get bored on christmas because i got so many presents, the kid who wouldn't even need to ask for something becuase i alrwady had it all, the kid who would get praised for everything i did, the one who never got grounded or yelled out no matter what i did, i was the kid that everyone wanted to be.
i have a photobook about 3 inches thick that is filled with awards that i've gotten. if you look at it i haven't gotten ONE since i was in 5th grade. it honestly makes me feel like shit. how i went from that wonderful student that every teacher loved to the one who fails almost every class and has teachers request not to have me in their class i don't know.
i wish i could go back and not let me amke those mistakes that i did.
i have a reason why i went down that way but no one know it. if they knew they would look at me differently i'm sure. so here it is:
i lost my great grandpa in 5th grade. no ones was really expecting it. he was in some magazine talking about how healthy he was and next thing i know he has cancer and has about a month to live. i was so close to him. i was with him every weekend. no matter what i was always over with him and my grandma and cousins. i went out to california with my other great grandpa to help look for a house before we knew about my grandpa Shain and while i was there i had the chance to go see my grandpa. i had the chance to say goodbye, to tell him how much i love him, to do all the things that i know wish i would have done, but i didn't. instead i went to go see my friends. i thought that i'd be able to and see him for thanksgiving, but i was wrong. not long after i came back to colorado did i find out about him. do you know how hard it is for a 10 year old to know that her grandpa is dying and she had the chance to say goodbye to him but she went to go see her friends instead? it is the hardest thing that i have ever been through. everyday i regret that i didn't go see him. i talked to him on the phone everyday while he was in the hospital but it was never the same. he told me that he didn't care. he told me that hearing how much i loved him for 10 years was enough and that he could never forget it. nothing that he said will ever make me feel better. ever since the day i found he was sick with cancer i've given up. i've given up on my school, on keeping friends, eveything. i know that he wouldn't want to know that his death did this to me, but i'm so used to be like this that i can't get out of the hole i dug myself into.
i regret everything i've done in the past 6 years besides maybe 5 things. i feel like shit but i'm going to make it out of this rut this year.
for once i know i can. i'm going to put all my effort into it and not give up half way through. i need to belive in myself because the people who believe in me just aren't cutting it.
i need to stop being babied. i need to be pushed into the real world. not a little nudge but a push i need to go in full blast or not at all.
i'm tired . i need to sleep for once. i think it will do me good.
