Eh, Life is what it is.

How full is your glass?

And so I have decided to keep this blog. It's much easier to use than the other site, and I feel more at home here, I guess.

I have finals this week at school. I'm kind of stressing out about them. But then I'm off for a month, and going on a trip to Chicago. Its a much needed break. Tonight I was told by my mother and brother that I need an attitude check. And to achieve this, they said I might just need to fail at something. If I failed at something it would give me encouragment to get stuff done. I get stuff done now, I always do, its just sometimes at the last minute or not quite as good as it could have been, but still good. :smile: I know I need a better attitude. I'm always pessamestic about things, and I don't need them to tell me that. I've been worried for a while that it is going to... I don't know... affect my quality of life. (If that doesnt sound so stupid to say) I was thinking that I would give up being negative for Lent, but then again, thats not for a while. I guess I don't need the Catholic church to tell me when to change my attitude, and I could start now, but I'm scared that if I try to do that, I'll just get so pissed off about something and have a bad attitude, anyway. I don't have any checks or balances in this idea, and don't know if I want to tell my boyfriend I am doing it for fear of what he will say to me when I get really pissed off one day.

Whats a girl to do?

if I just make it through this year, I think that the future gets better. (I've been telling myself that since my freshman year of high school.)

I guess my problem is that I dont really have anything big to get excited about right now.

How do I keep a positive attitude, if I don't know that I've ever had one before, really.

Some people say you should write down positive things about yourself and the world everyday. But I mean, does that really work? Honestly?


I guess I just have to focus on being positive, not negative, and find what works for me within myself. I just hope I don't give up on myself. I have to have a happier college career than HS or middle school.

We'll See

The Lone Read

So here I am, on a blog, not exactly sure what I am going to do with it or what is going to come of it, but I needed a place to share my thoughts and clear my head. And lets be honest, doing it at a place like this is so much better than talking to people sometimes.I dont actually expect anyone to read this thing, to be honest. I dont know if I want anyone to read it.

I retract that comment, I do want people to read it. I don't always want to know if people are reading it, and I dont want comments unless they are encouraging and nice, but I do want people to read it. If only so I have something to write for. Maybe someone can relate to what I'm feeling. So if you find this blog, and if you want to, you can read. And I'll be brutally honest about my life and whats going on and what I am feeling, although I want it all to remain rather anonymous at the same time. If only to protect my school, family, job and well, myself.

I haven't even decided if I am going to blog here or elsewhere. I've made two blogs. I suppose I'll have to see which one makes me feel more like a family, although a friend reccomended this one to me.

I do have to admit that getting on here, fumbling around the internet for one of these things, making it and now sitting here typing has helped me clear my mind. I suppose thats what these things are for. I can't imagine having to write in a diary or journal. For one, there isnt the excitement that someone else is reading it and can relate to what you are writing. Or bashing what you are saying. Either way.

I always have things on my mind. I feel like maybe I am rather depressed, and then I realize I'm not. But I don't know what it is, am I just feeling the stress of everyday life? Probably so. Maybe I don't realize that the pain and suffering I feel is just like everyone else, I just can't seem to find the proper way to vent my anxiety until it builds up and I break down. I think this is going to be all I am going to post for now.


And if you find me, I'm here for you too.


PS. And if you are wondering why my name is the the Lone Read, its because one of my favorite movies is You've Got Mail, which I'd be watching right now if my TV wasn't at school. Meg Ryan's boyfriend is a writer for a newspaper and during a discussion one day he gets a brilliant idea and starts typing the line "I am a lone reed." Since I figured no one would read this blog, and I love that movie, I decided to call it the Lone Read.

I'm happy. Are you?
