There are nice ways to say things and then there are thoughtless ways. When I express myself carelessly, I can create unnecessary conflict and turn potential allies into resentful adversaries. Even when I claim to be unaffected by the attitudes of others, I can't help but feel sensitive. Must I really make an allowance for someone else's unconscious actions?
I'm not sure of where I'm going, but I'm on the way.
I'm done stressing about school.
I think I have a job at ulta.
I had a really good birthday, regardless of getting kicked out of my house.
Rachel took me to lil five points and got me drunker than a white bitch at Becca's.
Amber took my boy and I to Atlantic station to eat a strip, then to the Hookah bar.

im getting down with the awkard moments
im getting down with his sour-sweet kiss
im getting down with the rumors in the back of the car
im getting down with your new vocation.
im getting down with your cute cut wrist
im getting down with the cross-stitches on it
im getting down with the young drunk lovers
im getting down with the haters
im getting down with the one-way pact
im getting down with the city and the pity of it
im getting down with it
I am too satisfied with the things I say, the things I do, the attitudes that shape my reactions day after day. I too easily accept quick assessments of my own righteousness in situations where I have been anything but righteous. I am too skilled at arguments structured to make me feel okay about what I think, about what I desire, about what I do. I am too defensive when a loved one makes an attempt to call me out and suggest for a moment that what I have decided, said, or done is less than good. I am too comfortable with the state of things between you and me, too relaxed with the nature of my love for you, too able to minimize my need for your grace. In my world there is so much that is wrong that I am able to convince myself it's right. I make decisions based more on what I want than on what you will. To tell you the truth, I'm a stupid girl. I am a complete and total disaster. I am broken. I will tell you over and over that i don’t want to be put back together. I like being around crazy people. I apologize too much but I'm never sorry. I'm always tired but never sleeping. I'll think you're absolutely beautiful but I will dwell on your flaws. As much as I say I'm open, I'm the most judgmental person you will ever meet. yet, people's opinions mean everything and nothing to me at the same time. i have something to say about everything.

People are wonderful. People are annoying. People are impressive. People are disappointing. Yes, I know. These statements contradict each other. But then, so do people. Not only do people contradict each other, they contradict themselves. We are all good and bad, great and terrible, capable and helpless. And none of us, if the truth be told, know quite which of these things we are going to be next. I've learned that everybody has flaws, if you want someone to be apart of your life, you learn to live with their flaws. I'm letting go of people I don't want in my life; even if it's because they don't want me in theirs.
Letting go is not to forget, not to think about or ignore. It doesn’t have any feelings of anger, jealousy or regret. Letting go isn’t winning or losing. It’s not about being proud. It’s not about obsessing and dwelling on the past. It isn’t about loss and it isn’t about defeat. To let go is to cherish memories, but to over come them and move on. Letting go is accepting. Letting go is having the courage to accept change. Letting go is growing up. I’m growing up, letting go. I'll miss my past, but the past is the past. No more mean words. No more mean thoughts.

I'm in a strange mood. I'm ready for Friday.
