A Shell

 A shell. 
Simply just the outer layer. 
Hard to the touch, but easy to break. 
Hold it too tight and it will crack in your hands. 
People are like shells. 
We put on a hard face and act like words don't hurt us. 
We act as if we can't break. 
But just like hands on a shell, words can break us. 
A simple word or just the implication of a word. 
It doesn't take much. 
A little pressure and a shell can break. 
Some are strong, and some are fragile. 
Just as people are. 
Just as I am. 
I am a fragile shell. 
Cracking as the pressure gets stronger. 
One day, I will break.

Waste Of Time

Saturday morning I woke up, tried to get out of going to my fathers house, but my boyfriend would not let me chicken out. We got ready and went. I did a couple drive by's to see if he was home, in which he was. So we parked down the street and started walking there. I paused a couple times because I couldn't stop crying. My boufriend knocks on the door. No answer. He knocks again... my father answers. I turn around and say 'Hi'. Then. Without hesitation, he says goodbye and slams the door in my face. As my boyfriend and I were walking away (I practically ran), my father then opens his door back up and proceeds to tell my boyfriend what a punk he is and screams at us down the street. I don't know why I expected a different outcome, but shit happens I guess. That night, I figured, since my dads an alcoholic, why not drink until I stop crying? So my boyfriend and I got drunk and played Borderlands till 1am. It was good, and extremely needed.

A little Sad Now

So I've been waiting all week for a call back from Petsmart, but I hadn't got one yet. I called them a couple minutes ago and the girl said that everyone that they wanted, has already come for a second interview. That means I did not get the job.  It sucks a lot, I need an income and to be able to provide for myself, even just a little bit.  I guess I don't have to worry about finding someone to take over my volunteer work for me :( And there goes the apartment my boyfriend and I wanted.

Things are Turning Around

After a strange and rocky few weeks, things are finally changing for the good. I've applied to many many jobs over the past few weeks and I got a call back last night to a job I applied to on Wednesday. I have an interview with Petsmart on Monday and I couldn't be more excited, it is a perfect fit for me. After talking to the girl on the phone, it sounds promising :) This weekend I plan on relaxing, doing a lot of studying and finishing up the last of my assignments. It's going to be a good weekend and hopefully next week will be even better. Potentially having a job means I'm that much closer to having an apartment with my boyfriend. Very exciting.
