Saying you’re a single parent when you are not is like saying you’re handicapped when you have merely a sprained ankle;
Your temporary inconvenience does not equal my everyday struggle.

Keep on Dreaming..Even if it Breaks Your Heart

It's been quite a while since I've posted.. and a lot has gone on since then. If you're one of my closer friends, you'll know all the things that I'm referring to. If we aren't that close, then that's the reason you don't know.

Lately, I've been in a huge slump. I'm tired and exhausted all the time, no matter how much or how little I sleep. Nothing really interests me. I don't get "excited" over things that I used to. It sucks. It really does.

I'm burnt out on school. I have a little over a year left, until I'm finished with my BA degree in public administration, but there have been so many times I really just want to throw in the towel and call it quits. I have quite a few friends that keep pushing me to finish, because it's "only" a year. But that's an eternity away. I don't have the ambition anymore. I'd love to take a term off and focus on other things, but I know if I do that, I'll never go back.

Also I'm just sick of people. Not "people" in general, but there are plenty of people that get under my skin lately. Instead of naming names and getting into those specifics, I'll just tell you what kind of people bug the hell out of me..
1. People that tell me they're going to do something, but never do. (I.e. "hey, I'll call you later," but they never call.)
2. People that complain all the time. I really don't care about the b.s. that goes on in your life, you don't have to bitch about it daily on Facebook.
3. People that expect me to go out of my way for them, when I know they wouldn't do the same for me. I'm tired of bending over backwards for you, so don't expect me to continue to be that one person you can rely on..because I'm done.
4. People that expect me to put them before my daughter. NO ONE comes before my daughter, no matter the circumstances.
5. People that think poorly of me because my daughter's father is not in her life. You don't know me, so you have no room to judge me.
6. People that tell me to go after J for child support. Like I said above.. you don't know me, so don't judge me. I have my reasons for doing the things I do.
7. People that aren't forward with me or that have to sugar coat things. Just be straight up with me, I appreciate honesty more than a well-rehearsed lie. Do not underestimate my ability to find out the truth.
8. People that call/text me in the middle of the night when they're drunk. I don't need to get into any specifics with that, do I?

With that off my chest, I feel better. If you're any of the above people or think you might have done one of the above things, there's a good chance I really just don't like you. Get over it.

Have a great day. :)
