Things haven't been going too well lately. And I hate to complain, readers, I really do. It's not like I'm in the hospital fighting some illness, or battling the IRS so that they don't repossess the roof over my head. That's far from the case. However, right now money issues and living arrangements are rough. On top of that, I'm doubting the last couple years of my life.

I'm starting to rethink how I spent the latter years of high school. There is a song by Brad Paisley called "Letter to Me" which my friends totally thought was corny and dumb but I couldn't help but find cute. I think there is something really fascinating about being able to possibly write a letter to yourself at a younger age and tell you that things will all be okay. Sometimes I wish I could write that letter. There are so many things I think I would say. I think of certain people I choose to be around, and how that has panned out down the road...not so good. I would like to tell myself that I'm cooler than I think, and remind myself to do things to make myself happy, not others. It seems that too many times I've acted on the principle of "well what would they think if I did this" or "if I went there, instead of this place they would get so mad." It's time to be confident in my decisions, and choose what is best for me and no one else, because in all honesty I'm the only one that will be looking out for myself.
