Well, three more days and I turn another year older. from the last birthday to this one my life has been filled with lots of highs and lows. The highs are good and I've held on to them, like my friends and my home, the lows I wish would go away, the constantly being sick and shady job. But I am thankful to be where I am at right now, I'm on my own, not living in my grandparents basement, not depending on my family for everything.

It feels good to know that you yourself are whats supporting you, you make your own rules (within reason). The bills suck but by god they're -MY- bills. It's funny to think like that but I think a lot of folks who have struck out on their own have similar thoughts. So.. yes I am content, I live in a house full of friends, I support myself and my household and no matter how much suck I'm dragged though these underlying things keep me from giving up.

My Friends, My home, and My Freedom.

I can't think of a better present.
