since my birthday just passed ive been thinking a lot about how my life has changed so much in just a year.this time last year there was so much turmoil in my life that i contemplated suicide many times.i knew i would never do it but...it was always lingering..i fucked up the relationship that has proved thus far to be my only love...my parents and i were literally having fist fights..and the only thing i had was graffiti and the fact i was moving to a whole new state on my own for school...now my relationship with my parents is sooooo good and ive learned soooooo much about myself and i feel like ive grown at least 10 years in 1...where were you last year?

things have changed so much for me since last year. so much.

 

last year i was a riotous party person, going out all the time living in a nice apt in the city with my friend and drinking excessively. life was good. i was having so much fun. not being committed, being social, out late doing whatever i felt, going shopping almost every weekend cuz i had a nice job and my costs were low.

 

this year?

i own a house that i've been working on since January, this thing took all my money, time and my life. i live with my boyfriend now, we don't go out very much anymore. we rarely see our friends. i don't have the cash flow i used to. not much drinking, i feel like i have to "check in" all the time. now my job is so painfully boring I'm about to split despite the crappy economy.

 

fuck this i want my life back!

 

last summer was the shit, and i want to go back there.

last year at this time i was doing graffiti and not doing alot of drugs

 

this year at this time all i care about is getting lifted because i hate my sober life...because i have lived it for the first few years of my teenage life and it sucked...and nothings changed so i find that i like to visit the other realities granted to me by shrooms and shit like that!

i was:

just learning to screen print

always considering breaking up with my girl (now: still with her, and it's great)

throwing tons of cash at my piece-of-shit volkswagens

not getting along with my dad very well, and living in his house

slaving away at the same job i have now, but not loving it as much as i do

starting to read more/paying more attention to politics

worrying about building a fast car

more scatterbrained

too worried about my current situation

 

now-a-days things are good. i still have no social life, but i've come to terms with it. i revel in my nerdiness and "homebody" attitude. i've used my screen printing skills to launch a poster campaign, currently underway. i really appreciate my relationships with my dad, my girl, and my select friends.

 

good thread.

this time last year i was just moving out of the ghetto back to the beach where i came from. started painting and doing art again. real skeptical about the girls i chose to get involved with. going to shows by myself.

broke as fuck.

 

this year i have credit, a house in my name, an awesome girl who i like hanging out with without rushing things. a friend who starts threads like the one im replying to now and thrying to hook him up with some hot cubs in my city.

first started getting into deep depression

obsessions started coming back 50 fold

stayed in bed, had to listen to radio to get me to sleep

 

this year:

started looking up for like a month, girl left

depression and obsessing back even more than last year

started contimplating what ifs of suicide

generally waking up not knowing if itll be the best or worst day of my life

medication that i once thought would be a savior doesnt do shit.

At this last year, I was in University up north. Had a girlfriend in Montreal, did few drugs and was out meeting new people in a new town.

 

This year I'm not in school, I live at home, no girlfriend, I work three mornings a week, get lifted far to much, and hang with the same people I've hung with for the last 4 years. I knew this year would be different, but I'm getting so sick of everyone and everything. I need to get off my ass and start doing something because I'm turning into bitch-made 21 year-old.

 

However, I am painting and dancing a lot more now that I'm out of school and that is not a bad thing.

for some reason this thread made me really sad.

 

 

 

Last year...

-living a crazy school term where you go to school for 3 months then work co-ops for 3 months

-didn't have that co-op job...working at the dollar store

-hating all my friends who didn't leave for college because they didn't understand how I had changed

-was worrying about "the guy of my dreams" leaving me

 

 

This year...

-I dumped "the guy of my dreams"

-started writing

-met my best friend

-moved out of my house

-go to University of Michigan

-work for an attorney

-learned how to ballance new and old friends

i dunno man...i take a lot of what you people have said and it fits a lot with my life...balancing new and old friends is pretty tough...another big change is me racking to survive...i used to do it for fun..but sometimes...i have no choice but to rack..rack or die...things are getting better with that but..whatever..and you're right about the more things change the more things stay the same..its so crazy how life works..but i think it's beautiful...and nurse my man...we'll see about cub this weekend...for sure...

why is it that I'm drawing blanks...and why is this shit mighty fucking sad?

 

then:

-stable job (so I thought)

-apartment hunting

-off/on with long term bf

-financially stable

-had no friends

-lost and insecure

-mass intake of herbals

-looking forward to the holidays

 

now:

-contract job (ends in december)

-roof over my head, no food on the table

-getting over the ex (slow process but there is progress)

-not financially stable (but I'm happier than ever)

-i have real friends

-hating the holidays & the memories that they bring

-party often, sleep comes late

-found & secure (sorta)

-indulging in more herbals, alcohol & pills

-living life rather than it living me.

 

 

many things have changed but it seems as if so many things are the same.
