            I hate my life so much.  Everything seems so messed up at school and everywhere else.  I hate rumors!  I hate gossips!  I hate people who run their mouths too much and start thing up with people who didn’t even do a thing.  I hate all the violence that exists in this world today.  It’s just so unbelievable sometimes.  It makes me ashamed to be a part in this world that looks so much to drugs and violence for answers.  It’s like once you straighten one thing out with someone, something else happens that you’ve gotta fix.  Why can’t people solve their problems by talking about it?  Instead of getting all mad and taking it out on others.  What is wrong with this world today??  It is so hard just to try and be a good person, Christian at that in a world so full of anger, and hate.  I hate people blackmailing others just to get what they want.  I hate it when people in your family just invade your privacy and don’t knock on the door at least.  I hate it when people won’t leave you alone when that is all you want..when they think that any time that is good for them is good for you, when you might be in the middle of doing something important, and they don’t even care.  I hate people who think they have the right to control you, like your parents, when their authority to you is nowhere near that of your parents.  I hate people who think they are all that, when they are just all talk.  You know it’s like that old saying, “Talk the talk, walk the walk,”, which to me means if you say something then you should at least be able to go through with it.

            People say there’s always someone in the world that’s like your twin, some are born with them and some aren’t.  You know the other day my Dad told to never write anything down, because eventually somebody will read it.  I do want people to read this in a way, just not right away.  Whenever I went to court I was so mad when I saw Sam’s lawyer reading my diary.  I mean he had no right to be reading my most private thoughts.  I mean it just pissed me off.  I think that is the most angry I have ever been in my life.  I was about ready to jump out of my chair and snatch it from him, but my Mom grabbed my arm.  Seeing that I think I really changed my whole outlook on people and things in general.  It’s like my whole life was being read by strangers, there were things in there that I wouldn’t dream of telling my closest friends, so the things I put in there were extremely private.  Not only did it make me mad it also hurt a lot.  I felt like I was stripped of all my rights to have privacy and secrets.  You know maybe my Dad’s right, maybe I shouldn’t ever bother to write but I’ve tried that.  It’s like whenever something is really bothering me, I have to write about it.  It’s my way of self expression, other people use music, anger, art, or other things, but I use writing.  I so want those diaries back, because I want to be able to look back on them one day.  Whenever our lawyer went over to ask her if I could have them back, she said, “I’ll have to talk to my supervisor about that,”.  I mean like she is going to read them anymore, unless she just wants to be nosy and there and sit there and read them again.  Of course, I guess I’ve learned my lesson for running away and I am sorry I did it.  I had to see Sam, my feelings for him have totally changed.  I used to really care for him and now…well, I don’t hate him but I just don’t have anything for him.  I don’t know how he feels about me, but I really don’t care.

            Some people may not realize it but in the end people from your past always end up coming back to you.  Like last year my friend Jessica tried to hook me up with a guy.  We talked once on the phone for less than like three minutes and both really didn’t like each other.  Then this year on January 2nd, she introduced us over the phone again and for some reason things were different.  We became really good friends.  Then we both began to like each other, and we eventually began to go out.  Then we made a dumbass mistake and ran away together.  After that things ended abruptly, and obviously the guy I am talking about is Sam…I mean who else, right?  Then there is Luke, who I met through Mary and who she had went out with before, and him and I end up going out for like a week maybe.  I mean I have never really had a long relationship.  The longest one I ever had lasted for three months, which was with Sam.  I really did care about him.  Yesterday I tried so hard to convince myself that I don’t like him anymore, but I really don’t think it worked all that well.  The reason why is because now I feel like I made a mistake, I want him back.  I miss him, I could tell him anything, and everything.  I trust him more than my closest friends.  And now I feel like I’ve lost him completely.  I feel like we’ll never get back together, no matter how much I want too.  I fell like he’ll never want to again.  If only I had a chance to tell him how I feel, but I guess that’ll never happen.  He probably feels like going with me was the biggest mistake he ever made.  That’s why I must keep the fact that I care for him so much to myself.

            I’ve turned over a new leaf.  I figure that I’m not gonna force myself to stop liking or for that matter loving anyone, especially Sam.  I mean if we are meant to be together then let it be, if not then I guess I’ll move on, and find someone else.  So I’m just gonna let fate control it.  I’ve realized that I can’t help the way I feel.  It’s like whenever I try and tell my friends about how I feel, I feel more and more remorseful for letting him go.  I so wanna get over him, but then again I don’t.  It’s like I talked to him on the phone all the time, so I always thought he was just some figure on the phone, I never had to worry about.  Then when I met him, I didn’t think it was real.  It wasn’t until we started going together that I thought of him as a real person, not just a voice over the phone I can brush aside.  Then after we broke up, I don’t know, I just thought of him as a person that I talked to but never see.  And ever since then every time I think about seeing him, I can’t stand the thought, but I love the thought of talking to him.  So I really don’t know…  I’ve got to be one of the most confusing people in the world.  I keep having this feeling that I’m one of those people that do what others expect of me, one that never does what I want to do, that does things to get attention, or to impress others or just to get them to like me.  Then again I feel like I always stand out sometimes. Yet I do things the same as anyone else.  I have my own style, my own way of living my life.  Then I keep having this feeling that I’m becoming depressed again, that maybe I still am, that maybe I’ll always be this way, even if I do everything in my power not to be like this.  I find myself sometimes being a bitch to others sometimes when I’m not meaning to.  Almost like another person is taking over my body, and I’m stuck inside asking myself why I’m acting this way.  I just feel like everybody knows me so well that they can always tell how I feel, what I’m thinking, what I’m gonna do when and where.  Which makes me think I have to exactly be that way, or I won’t be excepted in today’s society.  That just makes me stand out more, and just to be different.  I hate being like everyone else, I hate being a person that everyone has expected things from, it just makes me wanna do something outrageous, unique different.  I’ve already done something like that once and look where that got me.  I don’t know, I don’t understand myself half the time.  Maybe one day I’ll figure it out, hopefully!!

            So far on this trip in St. Augustine, Fl sux.  Why?  Because Sam’s not here, none of my friends could come, my eyes are burning from the salt water, and sunscreen, and I’m already burnt.  We came down yesterday (Saturday) and are staying for a week.  My Aunt Kathy and her friend John live near here so we get to see them.  My Aunt Susan and my brother Mel are also supposed to come down sometime this week.  My sister Kathy could not come because she has to work, and classes since she is going to graduate school.  Anyways I’ll stop for now because I’ve gotta get some sleep.

            My Aunt Susan and my brother, Mel are here now.  I just miss being at home.  I wish I was with Sam right now.  I really care for him so much.  I’ve got two days left, thank God!  I just hate having to be with my Aunt Susan, because she thinks that half the things I do is not appropriate for a young lady my age.  I don’t care though.  One thing I can’t stand about my Mom, Aunt Kathy, and Aunt Susan is that they all like to hug and pat too much.  It really makes me uncomfortable, there’s only one person I like to hug me and hold me and that is obviously Sam.  I just can’t wait until August when I get off probation so I can see him.  Jess thinks that we’re meant for each other and that we’re bound to get married.  Sam jokingly asked me to marry him one time…and I was like um..right…please.
