My 21st birthday was a lot of fun, pretty much the the best time I've had in awhile. It also made me realize that I have transitioned well into this new city and that I've met so many new and fun people. I'm really proud of myself for doing all of this on my own, paying for everything on my own, and making good grades. Even though sometimes it's hard to make ends meet, actually most of the time it's hard, but it feels so good in the end.
Oh, I'm having a birthday party tomorrow night. I would love to see some of you there.

All of the time I hate and miss everyone that used to be important in my life. Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them.

It's so sad that someone can work hard their whole life, everyday trying to figure out how to stay afloat. and still end up with nothing in the end.
Does anyone want to go with me to a Healthcare rally in downtown orlando on tuesday?

I miss Desiera Honts so much. In my entire life she is the only friend I have ever had that hasn't strayed. She doesn't hold grudges, she doesn't hate, she's quite possibly the most real person I have ever met. One of the only people in my life that I actually believe I will grow old with. I could say alot more, but I don't want to sound like a drunk lesbian again.

Today in my 20th centuries humanities class we were talking about healthcare reform and universal healthcare in general. My professor is pretty liberal and entertaining so I like him, but anyways..This girl sitting behind me says, and I quote "I have health insurance, why should I care if other people don't, it's their fault they don't have health insurance. The government shouldn't have to pay for that." She then went on to talk about how christian she was. lol
I feel like everyday I have to worry about money. My dad someone who has been fucked over by the health care system in the united states has to spend all of his social security checks on medication. While my mom on the other hand is in a shitty situation too complicated to even explain.
Every day since my car was totaled I've been picking my brain trying to figure out exactly how i can make this work. Trying to figure out how to perfectly budget myself to pay for classes, books, transportation, rent, food, insurance, a phone? Financial aid only goes so far. Exactly how many hours can I work this week and still have enough time to go to class and do my homework? Honestly, it has made me pretty bitter towards those that have never had to worry about things like this. Nothing ever feels equal opportunity to me anymore.
Don't get me wrong I am not trying to cry about how bad I have it made, because certainly things could be worse. And I am proud of everything I own because everything has been bought and paid for by myself alone. It's just this struggle feels like it is never ending.
