Over My Head...

  1. Well, the song by The Fray seems appropriate. :) But yeah, this is not the best of times for me.

    The family has been fighting to the point that I am waiting for one of my parents to move out.

    Even my best friend and I have been fighting recently, so though I would love to talk to him right now it seems best to back off for a week or two.

    I'm submitting various poems to contests, which is always a bit nervewracking - we never know what they'll say. And naturally I'll need signatures for some of the entries (the curse of not being in college yet), so I'll have to remember that when I go back to school in another three days.

    Finally there is the major Gold Award (the Girl Scout equivilant of an Eagle Project), which I want to finish but DESPISE working on.

    Aside from this there is always the inner worries. Like all teenagers I struggle with an image of myself - some days I feel beautiful inside and out, and other days I only feel one or the other - and on the worst days I just flat out hate myself. On those days I want to do things like write or read, normally so simple - and I simply can't. It's a struggle, put simply. Just one annoying struggle.

    Ah, well. Life - what can you do?

    Family feuds can cause a great deal of strain on a single person; expecially if they carry the strain by themselves. I wish your family well and that your friendship will be mended soon.

    For months now, my family and I have been at each other's throats. My mother's mother died and as did my father's grandmother --things are so tight that if one of us were to shift to scratch our nose the ties would break. It's scary when you detach yourself and look at the mess but at the same time you realize what must be done to help solve the problem. I hope that your family will at least learn the value of compromise and that your family dose not lose the relationship that defines them.
