The Other Side of Me

The name isn't important--
Tell me I can't,
I'll show you I can..
Nothing is holding me back anymore.
I don't fit in.
In fact, I was born to stand out.
I was made to be heard,
& I'll be something someday.
I laugh too loud,
& drive way too fast.
I drink. I smoke. I live.
I dance on table tops,
& sing off key.
No one knows me,
& that's the only way I'll ever have it <3
Oh and by the way, 5T4S. =]

So, I’m laying in bed, in a holiday inn, in Emporia, Virginia. In a few hours, my mom, dad, dog, and I will all pile back into my car and continue heading south to Florida. I’m excited to go back to my apartment and resume my lifestyle again but right now, I am so consumed with thoughts and desires.. I just can’t organize it all.

Just like the rest of tye world, I want this year to be different. I want to be the person I would want to meet and I have all intentions to do so. I am going to be happy, even if it kills me. I have t figured out just how I’m going to do this though..

I have realized, when I go home for an extended period of time and withdraw from my hectic life, I have a visceral urge to “center” and “balance” myself. I order my soul and mind in order to find a sense of peace. This past time I wad home, I spent alot of time reflecting and really talking to people. I feel like I should employ this tactic to my life in Florida too. Maybe if I am calm and collected, I will be happier. Its worth a shot.

Also, I feel so much better and have more energy when I sleep regularly, eat healthy, and exercise more. I often sleep deprive myself when I’m in school and I know I don’t eat well or exercise much so I am hoping these changes will also benefit me in the new year.
