Living in a household with four other people as compared to just my mother and I is a shock to say the least, but for me it is a welcome change as I am no longer in an unhealthy environment for the majority of my time.<div><br /></div><div>The only problem with this is - despite being surrounded by people, I am lonely. Constantly. I feel like an outsider a lot of the time, like an intruder on the family life of these people. I feel accepted and welcome, of course, but nothing really beats the fact that they are a family and I am not a part of it.</div><div><br /></div><div>So much is happening in my life, it seems. I know that leaving home was the right decision to make but it's going to take a long time for it to feel like the right decision. For now, I just feel lonely, useless, rejected, and like I'm halfway between two distinct periods of my life. It doesn't help that everyone is expecting me to repair my relationship with my mother, to meet with her and discuss our feelings and work things out so that we can live happily together again. </div><div><br /></div><div>But I know, from 16 years of experience that this cannot happen. I love my mother, I won't deny that, but I can't stand her. She's manipulating, abusive, irrational, and extraordinarily childish. I'm not perfect, but I'm working on that. She's not perfect, but even though she knows it, she's too proud to anything about it. I can't handle being in this environment and it has been proven that it makes me clinically unhappy, yet she will not accept this. It is unfathomable, the amount of anger, sadness and hopelessness that I feel, yet to no avail. I am so close to giving up, which is a bad move now that things show actual hope of getting better. But this means nothing to me in the depths of despair. </div><div><br /></div><div>I need something more to keep me going.</div>i am:http://www.blogger.com/profile/17664067232006553035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077933786408108428.post-41876764251744680582010-08-24T19:18:00.002+10:002010-08-24T19:25:15.449+10:00Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and whyTo be honest, I would not like to be anyone else. I often say that I hate my life, and this is because I often do hate my life... But that doesn't mean that I'd want to live anyone else's life. Sure, things aren't great for me lately (or ever, really), I have a lot of problems and I'm incredibly unhappy, but this is the life that I was given and the life that I have no choice about living so I've learnt to accept it and enjoy the happier parts of it.<div>Things like my gorgeous boyfriend, dancing, going to the gym, cuddling/spooning my friends, and just smiling through shit make me happy and these are the things I try to focus on. People who complain about their lives need to understand that they have no choice and should focus on the good that they have instead of the negatives. I even need to remember this more often, nobody's perfect.</div>i am:http://www.blogger.com/profile/17664067232006553035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077933786408108428.post-54181137310319279382010-08-20T18:41:00.004+10:002010-08-20T18:45:24.500+10:00Day 16- Another picture of yourself<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-cvrFiZ00PtbrY6a2FhuP5c2tLo1NQ9ErTOxCw3kO2jzq3XvRlk0Q2CwwPQMm4XudOPYO2zi88C3Q6Thb39pjwdPP2GkSU0MHI2aB_2Cv9q23AGPMgOsosEtAU3tDXqNIyS11J3sys8FO/s1600/DSCF0139small.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-cvrFiZ00PtbrY6a2FhuP5c2tLo1NQ9ErTOxCw3kO2jzq3XvRlk0Q2CwwPQMm4XudOPYO2zi88C3Q6Thb39pjwdPP2GkSU0MHI2aB_2Cv9q23AGPMgOsosEtAU3tDXqNIyS11J3sys8FO/s400/DSCF0139small.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507410436278577234" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><u><br /></u></span></div>Hi :)i am:http://www.blogger.com/profile/17664067232006553035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077933786408108428.post-60031983145911687182010-08-18T18:32:00.004+10:002010-08-19T12:32:20.126+10:00Day 15- Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBgWJY1t41x_hfzT2ZsQAxqhkssT0ElkboviCr5y3Lk2BZgCTECD9LXEWrdKexkvBKSK345urz20S1tGdjgglor3wrWING9VcuqtI2WjY6VznsXzvjSE0ttLoPIYUJTy9hA9D9L4NptBRd/s1600/s_y_m_p_h_o_n_y_by_MagicSparkle_large.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 279px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBgWJY1t41x_hfzT2ZsQAxqhkssT0ElkboviCr5y3Lk2BZgCTECD9LXEWrdKexkvBKSK345urz20S1tGdjgglor3wrWING9VcuqtI2WjY6VznsXzvjSE0ttLoPIYUJTy9hA9D9L4NptBRd/s400/s_y_m_p_h_o_n_y_by_MagicSparkle_large.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506665466469776306" /></a>1.

I've never been good at making friends but found myself in a situation where I had to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">acquaint</span> myself with complete strangers, from strange places like Gilgandra. But all in all, it was a pretty amazing experience.</div>i am:http://www.blogger.com/profile/17664067232006553035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077933786408108428.post-10114775927326562992010-07-24T19:00:00.003+10:002010-07-24T19:09:12.665+10:00Day 08 - Short term goals for this month and why<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1_PZnD9zapFAVid6yylplR7rT2ZzJUOFF1SCzYSIyOjArs0Q-Zkt5SdJNlh-ivTg-O97ww8PtAKUNUeyWFyN7jGtn79TYhG7X6ywa6X58LhfZtgrcaR1qK1TnAienDE1nO9U4pAaSNZaw/s1600/z208032094_large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497395219913000530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1_PZnD9zapFAVid6yylplR7rT2ZzJUOFF1SCzYSIyOjArs0Q-Zkt5SdJNlh-ivTg-O97ww8PtAKUNUeyWFyN7jGtn79TYhG7X6ywa6X58LhfZtgrcaR1qK1TnAienDE1nO9U4pAaSNZaw/s400/z208032094_large.jpg" /></a><br /><div>1.

For years I hoarded bird feathers that I found and collected them in a cereal box. My mum promised me that she would help me sew them all together into a flying suit when I had acquired enough, and I would often carry the box with me wherever I travelled in order to collect as many as possible. From the age of about 4 till I was 7, I faithfully stored feathers in my box, but never <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">seemed</span> to be able to gather enough, until one day I stopped believing and threw all my feathers away. It saddens me that I gave up on my dream so easily and I wish I had at least kept my collection, but perhaps I will start another one. I plan to get a tattoo of a feather on my foot however, as it is a symbol that seems to reoccur regularly in my life. I suppose I just yearn to be in the air.

<br />
<br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Humourism</span> was a theory of human philosophy adopted by Greek and Roman <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">philosophers</span> & physicians, and stayed the most common view of the human body in Europe until some guys started actually cutting up dead people in the 19<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> century, and realised what was really going on.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">
<br />There were four humours, <em><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">melancolia</span>, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">phlegma</span>, cholera and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">sanguis</span>, </em>also known as black bile, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">phlegm</span>, yellow bile and blood, & these dictated what kind of a person you would be. The idea was that everyone had them inside, and when they were perfectly balanced, then you were healthy.
<br />
<br />So. In the fine words of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">wikipedia</span>:
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">"The Sanguine temperament personality is fairly extroverted. People of a sanguine temperament tend to enjoy social gatherings and making new friends. They tend to be creative and often daydream. However, some alone time is crucial for those of this temperament. Sanguine can also mean very sensitive, compassionate and thoughtful. Sanguine personalities generally struggle with following tasks all the way through, are chronically late, and tend to be forgetful and sometimes a little sarcastic. Often, when pursuing a new hobby, interest is lost quickly when it ceases to be engaging or fun. They are very much people persons. They are talkative and not shy."
<br /></span>
<br />The moral of the story: that's me in a paragraph. So therefore, that's me in a blog name.</span>

Whatever it is, she's incredibly skilled and amazing, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">something</span> you should be looking at. </div><div><a href="http://www.praktica.tumblr.com/">http://www.praktica.tumblr.com/</a></div><div></div>i am:http://www.blogger.com/profile/17664067232006553035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077933786408108428.post-2502861681009865772010-07-07T21:34:00.002+10:002010-07-07T21:47:02.936+10:00Day 25 - Your day in great detailToday, I told myself I would get up and out of bed at 9:30. This was not true, I only found myself in the shower at 10:20. I made feeble attempts at looking presentable and drove with mum to the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Katoomba</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Centrelink</span> office - I am now the proud owner of a fortnightly Youth Allowance payment.<br />After this we went to the op shop where I found the most wonderful bike ever put into existence, $10. I immediately bought it, however as mum had already done one nice thing for me today she proceeded to scream at me in the street about how ridiculous it was and how she wasn't going to let me have it because I was probably going to hurt myself and then she'd have to take care of me... How awful for her. So I was forced to take the bike back, and I didn't even try to ask for my money back (who asks for money back from a charity?).<br />On a lighter note, I was invited to a party on Saturday night by my brother, which will be tremendously fun. I deserve at least one party these holidays, I mean, it's holidays!<br />We got home at about 2 and I immediately commenced making a coconut cake that Mitch had given me the recipe for. It was so strange. When it came out of the oven it looked like a souffle and smelled absolutely divine, but upon closer inspection it appeared that all the egg had sunk to the bottom and formed some kind of coconut flavoured <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">omelette</span>... <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">hmmm</span>.<br />After that, I pretty much just chilled for the rest of the night (aka <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">facebooked</span> for several hours), and now here I am.<br /><br />Sorry, my days are quite interminably boring.i am:http://www.blogger.com/profile/17664067232006553035noreply@blogger.com0
