This is me and my best friend Holly. She’s 15 years old, and has a 3 brothers and 1 sister. Her favorite colors red, and her favorite foods Chinese food. She has a phobia of being sick. Holly is in love with Jack O’Connell. Holly’s OBSESSED with horses, and has her own horse called Harry. She means the absolute world to me, even though I don’t tell her very often. She does lots of stuff that naturally cheers me up, like best friends do. She’s smart, funny, beautiful, friendly and has a heart of gold. We have the BEST times together.
It’s been probably a year since we’ve been best friends and I wouldn’t change any of it. We’ve been through so much together it’s unreal, we’re not really the luckiest of people!!! Our own problems, bought us together I guess. I could literally depend my life on Holly. She’s been there for me no matter what, so nonjudgmental Even stayed by my side whilst I was hospitalized there’s nothing she wants more than to see me better. She’s helped me so much, and been my own personal therapy, even if she doesn’t realise it.
Despite us having our differences sometimes, like usual people, we’re only human, I wouldn’t change Holly for anyone in the world, not even Demi;). When I found out a few things, they broke my heart, I don’t like seeing her in any type of pain at all. Especially when it can be prevented. I know she thinks I don’t care, or I would easily replace her, but none of that’s true, I think she’s perfect as she is, and the thought of loosing her tears me apart. I know she’s hurting right now, and I will do anything I can to help her through her problems just like she’s helped me. Now it’s my turn to make you happy Holly.
She’s my little Hollywollyboo, and I know she’s just an average girl to everyone else, but I see so much potential and hope in her, it’s unreal. I love you to pieces Holly.
End of 2012
It’s a brand new year! Woot Woot. I really hated 2012. Too much shit happened and everything was falling apart for me. Towards the beginning/middle of the year, my mother happened to find a boyfriend who she “fell in love with”. She only knew the guy for like a month too. And after just meeting him for like a week, he fucking moved into the house with us. I told some of my friends and they were right, hehe Tammy. He moved out about a few months later. But those times were tough though. Because he was a smoker, the house started to smell like smoke everyday. Especially my mother’s room. It was disgusting. My mother started to lack on her duties of being a mom as well so I felt like I was beginning to take care of everyone while my mother was fooling around with him. And then when I couldn’t take enough of it BAM, hospital trip. Yep kiddies, another manic episode under my belt. Shit, I went down the hole one time already, it felt like crap going down it again. That’s why my posts a couple months ago were like whack. Sorry about that.
It took me a couple of months to recover from that setback. I threatened my mom that I would move out of the house if she stayed with her boyfriend. So I really packed the majority of my clothes and moved it over to my father’s place. We bought a bed and everything too. But once my mom came to her senses, she let him go. It seems she’d rather keep her kids than her boyfriend. But that was the past. And because of that hospital incident, I had to withdraw from all of my classes during the Spring semester. I wasn’t too happy. Now I’m already so behind in my credits. But that’s life I guess.
Fall semester was alright. I lost touch with all my friends from Spring semester because of my absence. Oh well. I didn’t really feel like making new friends the past semester so I just kept to myself. Sigh. Anyways, my sister started taking volleyball lessons. I now have to drop her off and watch her during my break. And help my mother drop her off in the future because they keep changing the times that her lessons start. It used to start from 7 but then it changed to 6 and now it starts at 4. I just try to keep myself preoccupied for two hours by playing around with my phone.
Finally it’s the new year. Sorry this post is really long but I haven’t really updated for like half a year. I’m trying to have a new beginning for myself. Going to try to keep my Facebook deactivated for as long as possible. I don’t really see it as much of a communication tool for me anymore. I just login and I’m like okay okay. See the same people on my wall. Don’t really talk to anyone anyways. Soooo I just shut it. The ones that want to keep in touch with me will always find a way to keep in touch with me. That’s what I believe anyways. Spent the break so far in Vegas. Did some shopping and walked around. Seeing the lights. The usual. Spent some time with my cousins in Lancaster. Then went straight to Long Beach to hang out with my other cousins. Played Sing Star. Haha that game is so fun. I’m pretty good at it.
New Years Resolutions? Maybe a couple. Live a healthier lifestyle. I need to start exercising more because the stuff I’m taking makes me gain weight. So I have to work that much harder to get fit again. Trying not to stress too much. Maybe make a couple friends next semester. Find more time to spend with my family. Hang out more with my cousins. Figure out what I want to do with my life. Things of that nature.
Anyways, if you’ve read this far, congrats! Haha, that’s pretty much all the news I have for you guys. And to my friends, I’m sorry if I haven’t been able to see you guys at parties or just catch up with you to talk or anything. This year was really a tough year for me and the problems I was dealing with, I didn’t really want to burden you guys with them. Hope to eventually see you guys in the future. And have a happy new year!
