Who am I? That's a question
I haven't asked myself for quite some time. Many things, (mostly bad), have happened in my
life. There are so many that it would take me two whole lifetimes to type about it....
Of all the bad things that happened
to me, I think that finding out that the one girl I thought I loved said that it was all
out of pity. Everything; the one night that we shared at ClubXtreme and all the love I
thought we shared was all one big freaking joke...
Enough on that mistake, lets move
on to the other torture in my life. Eight years ago my parents got a divorce and my father
threw us out of the house. That act forced us to move up here, because we had no other
place to go. Even now, 8 years later, he is still harassing us through court case after
court case. There are more stories like the two that I've just type but I don't have the
time or the sanity to go on. Thus ends this chapter in my life of endless torment.
