I Wish That Their Lives Were Different
Sometimes I get so angry about things that I cannot change that I almost work myself into a panic attack from the sheer helplessness of it all.
I'm Afraid To Look Into His Argument
Today I learned that the president of the country in which I live decided that it was a bad idea to give poor children healthcare - totally paid for by a slight increase in the cigarette tax.

Quality Reading Material
While I try not to pass judgment on people based upon the items they purchase, I cannot help but be disappointed every time someone buys a US Weekly or OK magazine.

I fear that my life may be heading in the wrong direction, but I've come too far down this road to turn around just yet - not before I round this bend to see what I may have missed.

The Sky Is A-Ready To Burst
Every time I think that I've gotten everything under (my) control and I am ready to take the much-needed snip to my financial connection to my parents (and thusly neutralizing their pressuring chip) something happens that would make it dreadfully difficult if not outright impossible to do so.

Freedom Comes At A Price
I hate the idea that I am dependant on chemicals to maintain my current quality of life and I frequently consider stopping them altogether but it is quite difficult to foresee the ramifications of such a decision.

Why Must "Different" Always Be Interpreted As "Bad" When It Very Often Isn't?
There is a distinctly different feeling in the house when he's here; I cannot put my finger on it, but it is there - lying just below the surface.
