One beautiful thing that I saw..was the act of kindness when I was in the hospital a few years ago. You see, no one knew what was wrong with me. I even had to go to the Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. It turns out I had Depression..a severe case.
One girl was in the same […]

What is your most memorable Christmas memory?

Aeternus
Most of my more recent Christmases haven’t been that exciting, but one from my childhood stands out.
My aunts like to have us (me and my cousins) “entertain” them by singing and dancing and stuff (they can’t do it so much anymore now that we’re old enough to say “No” and do our own things XD) […]

   I know this sounds really emo but.. to get rid of the walls that I’ve been surrounding myself with for so long that keep me away from making good friends.. I can’t really explain this so… yeah.
2. !~July-Chan~!
   Hmmm… I would have to say… Be nicer to my father…

   I think thats going to be a tough one though because whenever we like talk well most of the time I end up yelling at him because he never really makes and sense and never understands what I’m trying to say…
   like we are talking about how being absent for school is bad then it leads to how if you don’t follow him we will go on the wrong path and we might end up becoming bad people doing drugs and in gangs… OMG! How could I not yell at him… He never understands us and I never get to do anything! LIFE SUCKS!
   I actually think this is my #1 New Years Resolution every year but it quite never works out…. It seems he is getting meaner by the minute… Maybe its cuz the meds… lol.

   Overall, I would say my real resolution is to be myself, and to be strong. After all the years I’ve spent trying to be someone I’m not, and being weak when I was younger and allowing other people to influence me, I’ve finally been able to break out of this pattern this year. And I want to continue this, and be who I truly am inside.

   My number ONE New Year’s Resolution is to make a difference in people’s lives. The way I plan on accomplishing that is to become a teacher.

   My 2008 Resolution goes to Akari. I resolve that I will be with Akari here in California, to start our lives together, and that we will begin our family, as the McKinney family. My resolution is to bring Akari to California.

   Let’s see, staying clean would have to be the first, then quiting smoking. They would be the hardest and the most profitable one’s to do!
