Friends Don’t Discourage Friends From Their Dreams

Sat September 6th, 2008 by JenLin85

Right now, I’m just very upset.  I’m not stressed out about anything which is good.   I am just starting to question certain people on my friends’ list on myspace.   I set up this private profile on there with my closest friends, or at least people I thought were my closest friends on there, and I [...]

Chunks of this exists on the message board but I want to still write some more, some of it might be repetitive.  I hope it’s not too fuzzy now, I’m just looking for something positive to do because today was pretty crappy.
My flight [...]

Sometimes I Wonder Why I Bother

Wed September 3rd, 2008 by JenLin85

The one thing I love about blogging on here is that I feel it’s a safe place for me to just write my thoughts.  I guess because I know that people on here have gone through similar things in life and I know that we can all relate to each other.  That is why I [...]

Loss

Tue September 2nd, 2008 by Elizabeth Kaylene

Today I found out my friend Liane from high school died this weekend — and it looks like it may have been an overdose, though that’s not for sure. She was only a year or so older than me, and has a 22-month-old daughter. The last time I saw her, she was really happy. She [...]

Let Me In

Thu August 28th, 2008 by JenLin85

I was thinking about some of my friends when I wrote this awhile ago.  Some of them are going through some really tough times lately and while some will open up to me about it, there are some who don’t exactly tell me what’s bothering them even though I can tell they are going through [...]

Now That I Know

Thu August 28th, 2008 by JenLin85

This poem was actually inspired by a conversation I had with a good friend of mine.  I have a very hard time opening up to people and letting them close.  In fact, most of the time I won’t tell people what I have gone through.  It’s one thing for me to write it; but it’s [...]

From One Survivor To Another

Thu August 28th, 2008 by JenLin85

This is to all my fellow survivors of abuse out there who are still standing strong. I know there are days that you feel like giving up, wondering where your life is going. I know the pain left behind hurts. I’ve had days where I wondered where I was going in life and I do [...]

Taking The Chance To Open Up

Thu August 28th, 2008 by JenLin85

Well, the other day I actually broke a rule of mine.  Due to being hurt in the past and being abused by my father and my soon to be ex husband, my divorce has not been finalized yet, it is very hard for me to let anyone close to me.  I’ve always had a hard [...]

Busy Busy Busy…

Thu August 28th, 2008 by Brooke

So, I apologize a million times over for not blogging sooner! I’ve been super busy with life in general. Trying to work more to make more money to move out of my parent’s house. Trying to find my boyfriend a job (which we did). Getting things ready for my parent’s 20th wedding anniversary. Spraining my [...]

Conversations in the bathroom

Tue August 26th, 2008 by Elizabeth Kaylene

Today, while washing my hands in the bathroom at work, a coworker of mine approached me and asked me whether I was full- or part-time. (A lot of people at work are curious about me, though I’m really not sure why. Maybe it’s ’cause I’m basically the youngest person in the building. Heh.) I told [...]
