With what little is left.

Jan. 27th, 2009 | 11:29 am
mood: miserable

Over the course of a few days, I've found everything I've worked hard for over the last 6 months crumble around me. I saved all the money I could, recently purchased all of the fixings for my picture perfect apartment and made a plan to finally escape. Little did I know, the economy had come crashing down on my company as well. I am, for the first time in 5 years- unemployed. As in, not making money. Meaning that, all of those nice things I bought for the life I expected to be living in March are useless to me. I'm stuck in this hellhole living with my father and stepmother- and to be quite honest, I can't remember a time where I was more unhappy.

I arranged to take my classes online so that I could keep my position at the company full-time. I have a few weeks before classes start, so I literally find myself doing nothing. I've practically been living at my boyfriends house (Jim) because of the fear of facing my father. Not to mention the fighting that goes on there is just unbearable. I can't do it. And, I can't live much longer without a paycheck. Of course, I mean that in a "I might lose my sanity" kind of way, but also in that, just like any other self-sufficient 20-some year old girl, I have bills to pay. Responsibilities. The kind that only feel good when you can afford them.

And the solution to this is one I'm unsure of. Of course, I can search extensively for a new job and hope that I can find a quick fix. But the truth is, I won't find something soon enough that pays well enough to completely support myself. Jim's not in a place right now where we can move out to do it together, either. I've been given the opportunity to live at Jim's for a while, if all else fails. But who wants to break down and admit that they are so vulnerable, they agree to live with their boyfriends family. Not I. . . Other than that, it's back ot the beautiful San Fernando Valley. And do I want to consider that even for a moment? Well, I would have guaranteed employment, that's a plus. But I think the reality of seeing all of the people who are supposed to be my best friends would be too tough to face. I don't want to be forced to realize we're not as close as I'd hoped. Even though, part of me has realized it already. I'm alone here. No one to support me, encourages me, have sleepovers with movies, secrets and lots of bad candy. Again, in the most unhappy place I've been in years.

On life lately...

Sep. 5th, 2008 | 09:22 am
location: At work...
mood: aggravated aggravated




I've been kicking and screaming inside.
Yeah, that's pretty much how I've been feeling.

One week ago yesterday, my grandpa in law
passed away of congestive heart failure, which
is the same condition that my grandpa has
here in Sacramento. So, I attended the funeral
this past weekend.

On top of that, Thursday my dad was rushed to the
emergency room with complaints of chest pains.
It turns out it may have been a mild heart attack.
Several tests are being run, and so far the only thing
they've found is that he has a condition called COPD.
Which is a condition that causes him to have extreme
difficulty breathing because of permanent damage
done to his lungs from 40 years of smoking...
and yet, he still continues to smoke, day in and day out.
...This could very likely become lung cancer, and I have
no idea how to convince him to stop smoking if the idea
of that doesn't scare him enough. . . I'm terrified by the
thought of losing my father at 60 years old. It is simply
too young to die...

Next, on my way to the airport on Saturday morning, I
got into a car accident. This lady was driving in the fast
lane and must have realized she had to get off the freeway,
so she zoomed into my lane, slammed into the front side of
the drivers side, which sent my car spinning around and
backward toward the oncoming traffic behind me. My
car stopped across 2 lanes, both of which had semi trucks
in them. One had to exit to avoid hitting me, and the other
slammed on his breaks, and stopped just in time to avoid
the hood of my car, by about 2 feet. I broke out into tears,
I had no idea what to do, or how I would turn my car around
into traffic going the right way because I had cars zooming
past me downhill at 80 miles an hour. Not to mention that the
lady who initially caused all this had left the scene completely
and I had no way to identify her. So, I've been in shock, having
a hard time behind the wheel of my car this last week. Luckily,
my car was not totaled... but of course I'm back in excruciating
pain from yet another car accident. This is 3 years in a row,
same time every year. Fuck my life.

When I got to the airport, my key was jammed in my ignition,
so that's another issue I have to deal with.

And as usual, money will be an issue for my remaining
years of college, and probably the years to follow.

As of a few days ago, my dad and step-mom decided
they may be getting a divorce. I'm very, very unhappy
to hear this because I love her dearly and think it would
be a huge mistakes on both their parts. Not to mention,
I would have to find a new place to live, and being that
I found my job through her, I'd probably need to find
a new job.

Collectively, life blows right now. I have all of like 2 friends
here, one of which is my boyfriend and the other who I've
been friends with since I was 7. I'm lonely, depressed about
all of the above, and still trying to make it through 22 units of
classes each week and maintain a schedule of at least 30
hours a week at work. NOT COOL. I miss you guys in LA.
And I'm really hoping everything blows over soon, so I can
just be happy and relatively relaxed about life.

FUCK THIS GUY. I was served with the papers today in LA, when I'm busy trying to fucking move my shit... jesus, this blows. I'm going to have to appear in court... they might end up arresting me for killing this piece of shit asshole.

400 miles away.

Jun. 15th, 2008 | 12:41 am
location: Sacramento
mood: confused confused

This is my first time here, knowing it is my new home. While, I am only visiting... I already don't want to go back to LA. I've been here 2 days and felt like I've somehow built a whole new life for myself. But by the same token, I've never been so lonely. I know that will change and that is why I'm trying to maintain my strength. Being alone and so far from the people I love most is going to be a challenge. But I know it's really truly what I need. And definitely one of the things I've wanted for myself for so many years. It is truly bittersweet. I can only hope and wish and pray that this will benefit me... and in the meantime I have to understand that regardless it will be a learning experience. Right?

Lately, I am just not myself.

I always want to be alone.

Completely alone.

I'm missing you again tonight, dearly. My eyes are like puddles of water.  It's not easy down here without you man. I just wish I could hold your hand again. There are no words to express how much I miss your guidance. I remember that one night we were on the freeway, listening to music and laughing...when all of a sudden that car came speeding into our lane, practically swiping your car, but you swerved us all the way out of the way so that the guy didn't hit us... we had to pull over after we realized what had just happened... you know you saved our lives that night... I just wish I could have returned the favor. I would have given everything up just to keep you here with us.

it's never beneficial to think of the way things might have been...or telling yourself that something was a waste of time.

all we have is here and now... but man, tonight and the last few days...all i can think about is how i could have changed everything with one little decision...and if i would be happier today because of it... but i guess i'll never know. and it is what it is.

On Life #246

Mar. 30th, 2008 | 10:45 pm
mood: happy happy

For the first time in like a year, my mind is not a constant mess. Granted, I'm trying to figure out money and financial type things though. I'm trying to figure out how much money I need to save and how much money I need to make in order to move out this summer. School is questionable right now... I'm just trying to get through the rest of community college to transfer.. I am so ridiculously close, but it feels like it's so far out of reach. A huge part of me is tempted to check out Sacramento this summer, and seriously consider moving there... I can transfer stores... the rent will be cheap, it's something new and I can spend a lot of time with my grandparents.

I'm just always so worried that the day will come sooner than later where there won't be time to spend with them anymore...and that in and of itself is enough for me to spend a year up there. Plus it's something new... and maybe exciting. Plus if I don't like it, I can always come back...

In other news, my job is great. I really am loving it. For the most part I enjoy  my coworkers...and I've finally found something that I'm good at. I'm losing my voice and feeling sick because I worked so many hours this week though. Next week will be less hours, but classes resume...so it'll be craziness.

Like Kristina said, I'm trying to live for the moment... but that means I need to get out more often. Everyone is just so busy, and with so many hours at work, all I've wanted to do is sleep. But whatever, I'm happy.  I miss seeing my friends and family... but such is life. I'm finally happy being alone. It allows me to remember little things about myself that I thought I lost sight of.

I just want a road trip now. Now. Now now.. now.
 
Do you know how much it hurts when someone tells you that you gave 100% but
 that they can't do the same for you? It's like I'm not good enough to make them 
want to put forth that effort. Such a fucking terrible feeling.

I'm really going to hate being alone...but hey, for all the downs, there should be plenty of ups... this should be fun?

I read a quote somewhere on a sign today that said, "what is necessary is never a risk" or something like that...

Try to stay positive. Try to stay positive.

music: nobody likes to, but i really like to cry...

sicker and sicker as the hours pass... this sinus infection got the best of me. 
the waiting room at urgent care was packed, wall to wall. there is no way i 
have the patience for that. not to mention my primary care physician is booked
for the next 2 weeks... well guess what? in 2 weeks this thing will have killed me.
i'm not thrilled to be sick when i just started a new semester and will be starting
a new job soon. not to mention my weekend job starts on 2/23... great. oh, and
i hate valentines day. i just do. maybe it has potential this year, because i'm with
someone but i'm not even sure if it's what i want anymore. fuck me for being so
indecisive. i need to go shoot or do something that actually makes me happy.

it never actually felt like christmas this year...not even for a second... 
i wish it wasn't just about the gifts and money... but to each his own
and i guess my family buys love with money and materials.

anyway, i think i've fallen off the face of the earth socially. again. 
i'm not even sure why. been busy with the family, had finals 
last week, etc. but now i'm trying to sort some things out.
focus on me. change me for the better. spend time doing
things that i love. fixing my financial issues so i can stop
stressing out. i guess thats selfish, but no one has seemed
to mind me being gone all that much. 

maybe i'll write some resolutions or something now...

lots of times when i'm  here in sacramento, it feels right, like home...
like what a home is supposed to feel like. i really wonder sometimes,
if it's what best for me. it's always an option, i could come in january,
and start school in february...and after a semester i could leave if i
wasn't happy...i'm all about exporing my options. i'm depressed at 
home anyway...so maybe it's what i need.
