Recommended: Is planning really necessary

Dear Danny,It really sucks that this is where you are in your life right now, but I guess that you have no one to blame except yourself. I know that you may disagree and that is okay, but in the end, regardless of the actions of other's you still made bad decisions. Those decisions ultimately led to your present situation. Perhaps one day, you'll learn to make better decisions and think about the bigger picture instead of just seeing the small details. I do have a few things to say to you. I know this letter will piss you off and believe me that is definitely not my intention. I know I could come visit you but let's face it, you haven't really been a good friend to me lately so there really isn't a point. And honestly, I really don't even want …show more content…

You have this diluted fantasy of the perfect life, but you have never realized that life doesn't always turn out the way you want it to. You have no control over that. Either things work or they don't. Either both sides try or they don't. You cannot row a canoe with one paddle. Have you ever thought that maybe you haven't met your soul mate yet or that there isn't one out there for you? Or maybe, just maybe, you're not ready for real, unconditional love because like I said above, you still act like a teenager so the only thing you'll ever experience is puppy love or infatuation until you develop further mentally. It means doing things you don't want to do without freaking out or throwing a hissy fit and actually being an adult about things. You have a son that needs a father, but you don't care. You only care about "having a life" but you don't seem to understand that your son should be your entire life. Things didn't have to be like this. You could have continued taking classes and you'd be so much closer to seeing your son, but you pissed that away.When you got out the first time you promised Brandon and me that you'd do the right thing, and I actually believed you. But, no

    I met him at the Hawthorne high-school’s orientation. October 3, 2012, was the official date and months of being with him, for the first time ever he made me feel something I’ve never felt before. He was the first guy I ever came to love. I can go on about this, but I’m not going into detail about what happened those years. Let’s just wrap up that story to the simple truth, he left me. I had invested all my time and attention towards him, that I began to care less about school. I was never expecting it, or maybe I was. It hurt. Looking at him hurt. I remember coming home and crying my heart out. I was devastated. It was something I’ve never wanted to experience. I sobbed and sobbed that night, and gripped onto my pillow and shouted into them, hiding the cries. I felt empty when I awoke the next day. My eyes were swollen, and I felt an empty void. I felt dead. We didn’t speak to each other after that. Months passed, and I was keeping myself occupied with work and friends, I finally was learning how to move on, on my own.

    It all started in high school, as a person, I was far from being responsible. School was just a place to meet friends, spent most of my time playing around, and never thought about the future. But gradually, my parents were getting worried about me. One night, I was in my room when they called, and asked me to go to the living room. I looked at their faces and I knew that we were going to have a serious conversation, and I was right.

    I feel like I have wasted 14 years, 4 months, and 24 days of my life waiting for him to change. Every night lying in bed, terrified, paralyzed by fear, praying that God would allow something to happen to me while protecting my children that would wake him up as to what he has right in front of him. Sleeping next to him every night feeling alone and wondering if this was normal. I kept blaming myself for not being good enough and that forced me to sacrifice more and more to win him over, hoping that I would one day be good enough. I never realized that I was in love with a fake person who never truly loved me anyways. He only loved controlling me.

    I am writing you this letter because it explains ten important life lessons that I have learned throughout my life. I wish I knew all of these statements when I began my teenage years because they would have helped me when I was suffering. The most important lesson is to always be yourself. “People is themselves when they are children, and not again till they know they’m dying” (Richardson). It’s tiring to constantly pretend you are someone you are not.

  • I Was a Teenage Mother

    714 Words  | 2 Pages

    Everyday, people are faced with choices. Some of life’s choices are simple, such as deciding what to wear to school or choosing a television station to watch. Other choices, however, are much more serious and have life-altering consequences. Being pregnant has many choices, whether or not to keep the baby. There are many choices such as adoption, or abortion. I decided that I would keep my baby because I knew in my heart that I would regret it in the long run if I didn’t. Throughout my pregnancy I suffered from depression, which is the condition of feeling sad or despondent mentally. My depression was mainly due to the fact that I was sixteen, alone, and scared, I was a waitress at a local restaurant, but that job couldn’t pay for all the financial needs it takes to raise a child. I left my baby’s father when all the arguing and physical abuse began. I couldn’t deal with that and I definitely wasn’t going to raise my child through it. Although I knew deep down that this big decision was for the best, it was still difficult and very painful. Just the thought of raising a child alone was scary. My parents were so disappointed in me they really didn’t have much to say, especially my mother. That made my pregnancy worse because I felt as though I had no one to talk to. I had friends to talk to but most of them didn’t understand what I was going through.

  • My Life Is Better Than The Romanovs

    607 Words  | 2 Pages

    The last time I have written in here was when I still had the hope and expectations that things would get better. In fact, things have only gotten worse from here on. A few months ago, Feodor and I had married in the local church a few miles south from my family’s home, and we have settled in a small hut a street across the school where he is teaching. Our home is falling apart, too cold and not insulated properly for the winter, and the furniture all falling apart, yet it is still better than nothing. To be honest, we were extremely lucky to still have been able to find a home and barely get to feed ourselves, even a small plate that both Feodor and I scrape clean, yet he is always generous and selfless to offer all of it to me because we are expecting a child.

  • The Turning Points of Life

    Growing up was not easy in my house; it was not the picture perfect life, actually far from it. Over the years, I became the caretaker versus the child; often left to fend for myself and my brothers, I muddled through many of life’s lessons with no guidance. Following graduation, although I was accepted into college, I was told I would be unable to attend due to financial difficulties. Very soon after this news, I broke up with my high school boyfriend of almost four years. I spent the next two years being a very different person. I started smoking, drinking, staying out until all hours, and was genuinely depressed. That all changed the day my brother had a house party.

    Everyone in life experiences failure. It can affect people positively or negatively and that all depends on how they react to the experience. If one lets their failure overcome their dreams, it will lead them in the wrong path. But if one views their failures as a motive to succeed and grow, then they are on their way to becoming successful. For me, I let my failures in life help build onto my character and define the person I am today. My childhood injury is my example as I let this moment affect the outcome of my dreams I had then.

    When I turned eighteen I went out and began renting my very own apartment. The effort I put into this task at the time seemed sufficient. I went online, found a place I liked with good location and low rent. I asked my good friend Sean to live with me to help keep costs down. Then I took care of all the utilities, gas electric, cable, phone, internet, and all the necessities. My first apartment gave me some very rough times, but from that time I learned a little about apartments and a lot about life.
