i have to write, i’m thinking too much.
here it is.. 1:30 in the morning & i have so much on my mind. why can’t people (like my mom, because thats really who i’d like to talk to right now..) be more un-normal & be up with me during these times of the night?!
right now, i could actually care less about darrell; well i do, but i don’t. i just want to stop having any feeling toward him at all. maybe us not being friends would be for the better. i dont even know if what i’m saying even makes sense right now.
i.. really want to drop out of school. even though that could quite possibly be the stupidest thing ever. especially right now. but i do. i’ve done messed up & gotten myself too far behind in 3/4 of my classes. especially in comp2, there’s probably no way i’d pass that class this semester, even if i started trying now. & the same with intro to philosophy. intro to psych i could probably still pass, but lets face it; i’m not into school, school isn’t interesting to me right now.
its one of those types of things that you have to WANT to do or else you’re not going to do it. its bad, i know.. trust me, i know. i know that i’m letting a bunch of people down right now, i know i’m making an ass of myself. honestly.. who can’t handle a community college? other than myself. i just feel like i need time for myself right now. i think i need to find ME. find out who i am.. find out what i want to do w/ my life. because yes, ideally, i’d love to be a nurse; but honestly.. come on. is that really me? is that really what I want to do? i have no idea.. i’m just going off of that because thats what i wanted in high school. what i also wanted in high school was for me & bryan to be together forever & look where that got me.
i know the 1st thing mom is going to say to me, “emily.. you need college. do you really want to be a janitor for the rest of your life?” & no, hell no thats not what i want. but i dont want to do something that i’m not even trying for or even caring about right now either. right now.. i need to focus on myself & work. the person i’m afraid of disappointing the most tho.. is my dad. i can just see him rolling his eyes, then saying something to my mom about how much money i’ve wasted & how i’m throwing my life away. goddd. now i’m getting all teary-eyed, this sucks.
i dont want to be a college-dropout. i always told mom & dad when i was growing up that i’d be the 1st kid in the family to successfully finish both high school & college. but lets face it, i’m not completeing college successfully at all. i’m not even trying. theres times when i dont even care. you know what i enjoy the most about going to class? the interaction with other people. i don’t really like listening to the teacher talk, i’m usually not interested in what they’re saying.. i sit in class & text most of the time. why? because school is boring to me.
I KNOW.. i NEED it to find a decent job but for right now.. i’m okay being an NA at the local nursing home. for right now, i’m okay with making $8 an hour or whatever it is i’m making. because right now the only bills i have are my car payment & my credit card bill. yes, i owe mom & dad money, but its not like me going to college now is going to get them the money any faster. they’ll have the money before i’d even finish. & i can promise that. to tell you the truth, they’ll have the money here in about 4-6 weeks. GUARANTEED. as long as i can pay them & my bills too, they’ll get it here soon.
idk, i feel like a bad person. because i know i’m letting a shit ton of people down. but i just can’t do it. like i said earlier, i need to find myself. i need to be stable in my life before i can take on something like school. seriously.. you’ve seen my emotions go thru this. what is wrong w/ me? i’m a complete mess.
..i wanted to try online classes. figured it’d be easier on me, pretty much having like 2 weeks to do a few assignments, doing them when i wanted to.. not have a set time to get up & do them. THAT would be the type of school for me. i know its not really structured & maybe some structure is what i need in my life, but i can’t do it. its not happening.
maybe i also need more responsibility & i wouldnt be this way. maybe.. if i had my own place & didnt take mom & dad for granted, then maybe i’d have a more structured life and have more of a well-being. IDK, i dont get it, i dont understand what i’m suppose to do w/ my life, i dont know what i want in life. i just dont know.
..this is getting depressing.

you do what you think you have to do.
Being a CNA isn’t a bad job and if you enjoy it all the better.
