I'm tired
Climbing the highest mountain.. only to slip and fall.
Nobody's life is perfect. MINES, is far from it .
I'm so dependent right now... barely independent.
but, I'm tired of .. wondering about the people in my life.
I dont have any support behind my going to college .. but the fact that I'm not tryina work a minimum wage job the rest of my fuckin life. I wanna do be.
but, every now & then.. I get tired of fuckin being here.. putting up with this shit .
Day in & Day out . && it aint even ME that's doing it .. its other ppl. I'm just.. the substitute punching bag.
I cant assist the situation because.. when I do.. nothing happens.. its like.. I'm stuck .
I know that everyday is different.. and to take it one step at a time, but right now..
I'm bout to dive off a cliff. its irritating.. nobody knows.. what i think, feel, hear or see.... but me.
and it aint always what i want.. or what i need. i think that's part of my problem..
I get so tired.... I'm tired.. for more than 10 years .. a DAMN decade.. its been HERE .. in my mind.
I dont even think I'm all here..
but ppl have seen worse.. but that stuff .. is what MOLDS me..
what makes me who I am..
but its slowly.. tiring me.
tearing me..
making me.. not even wanna wake up each morning..
its ... just ..
I'm T I R E D .
I wanna escape... be free...

SHUT THE FUCK UP. you just mad you aint WHERE they at ! I mean, I be looking and thinking in the back of my mind "this bitch aint gone be here next semester ANYWAYS!" .
Each day is different for me, like that one day I knocked Stephanie cup out her hand in the middle of the student center. I was like Gahhhhhhhd DAMN! buttuh, its all good. shit .. I wasn't trippin I was gone pay for it ! lmfao !
uhm, I dont really fool with a lot of people on campus. I dont stop & talk. I dont do none of that cause I know how people is. I just raise my hand & smile or say HEY when I see em.
Community college is a buncha bullshit .. buttuh gimme these next 3 semesters && the summer session! *claps* I'm leaving! I swear .. I needa get the hell outta Lufkin.. Its not LUFKIN, its the PEOPLE here !

DJ . =]
but sometimes, I dont know where I'd be with out him. ya know, I'm really just used to him being around and yet and still... I really cant fathom my life, with out him. Not as a big sister but as someone who is his "keeper". I mean really, with all the violence goin on today, hmm..
Last Monday, I had got out of class, its wassss, 7ish and I was walking down the side walk & up pulls my momma, she was HALFWAY in the parking lot & she yells "YA BROTHER GOT HIT BY A CAR!" ... in my mind I'm like "Girl, Stop playing." ... so when I get to the car & look, there he is laid across the backseat, crying & stuff. I felt so bad;; then I started laughing like super hard... I couldn't believe this shit...
I love my little MINI-ME with all my heart; I do anything for him... ALMOST anything.. but..
*FAST FORWARD*
He was fine.. just pain here && there.. ya know. no broken bones *Thank God*
I didn't get home til like 2-3am && backdoor had a 8am class;;
Rough Night... But I Excelled in my schoolwork.. BET that ;-)
but I mean, he'd do the same for me... I know he would.

uhm.. I've been contemplating this blog; whether to write it or do a video.
My Aunt Bonnie is in ICU; anddddddd idk if she'll ever get back to where she was. (UPDATE:SHE'S NOT)
You know all my life.. she was "Aunt Bonnie"
...ask & you shall receive. If I didn't have she'd TRY and get it.. or make plans to get it. :) .. I love her for that.
The 3 times that I have been to the hospital; I dont go near her bed.. I just take a seat or keep my distance... and I stare.
I think about what she said to me; the last time.. "Olivia, you're smart.. You need to go TO COLLEGE, I know you can do it. I want to see you in college before I leave this earth; you too smart.. WAYYY to smart."
I feel like I'm finna cry.. but I cant... You know. I'm sad, but I cant cry because I know... I just want her to get better. She's important to me, not only because she's my aunt.
she named me OLIVIA. yeaa she named me that.
Its not that I need her, but I want her to live a lil longer. Stay just a little bit longer.
I think the thing that gets me the most is that I'm used to her being a phone call away, a 10 min drive away. I didn't give her a second thought really.
When you KNOW that the person isn't there you feel empty.. you feel like a piece is missing. I feel that way tho. for some odd reason.
She spoiled me coming up.. Lool. I remember my mom telling me that one time I had a bowl of peas & I wasted em && Aunt Bonnie went to the store & BOUGHT me another can. :D .
Yeaaa; Auntie loves me and I love her back.
I mean my other family member say "I cant stand to look at her like that".
but Its fine to me. Mom & I watch the health channel alot.
I just stare and & think of .. everything she's done.. positive and negative for me, ya know.. I just close my eyes from time to time and say in my mind. pleasseee snap out of it.
I understand she aint dead but, she can't talk back.
I feel like I didn't appreciate her like I should have I feel kinda guilty but no one lives forever... but God has plans for her.. and It's gonna hurt me, but Death is a part of life.
And.. Now that I'm in college after she nagged me EVERY SINGLE TIME she saw me. She didn't get to see me. She can't say anything to me. like "How is college?" or "What classes are you taking?".
But I'm fine. It'll be fine. I just wont give up. no matter how overwhelmed or stressed I get.. I'll stand strong.
College means more NOW than ever.
I just wish I change the way things are going.
Just know.. that "I love you AUNT BONNIE always.. && forever".

I get tired of being there for you && when I need you... you're not there.
There is so many things wrong with this picture.
I don't say anything.. I just let it ride.
You know sometimes I wonder how we got this far.
What were we holding on to?
Its like I'm looking back down the road and all I see is bullshit. PURE bullshit.
you say soooo many things to make me believe you. but in the end it all boils down to you lying.
I honestly can't handle this. I would've trusted you with my life. but, I dont think I can do that.
I'm not a little kid anymore. You can't just say things && not expect me to ... I dont even care anymore dude.
just..
I'm just tired.. really I am. && you... KNOW who you are.
I've always done things because they HAD to be done, or someone else wanted that FOR ME!
I'm kinda lost right now. I've always been the one.. who has a plan.
Rarely do I ever go with the flow. I'm more of a "I WILL DO THIS" and it be done.
I've never really made ANY choices for myself; I've always let my parents or somebody else decide for me.
but, I feel like I'm at a split in the road. you know, asking myself; "Where Do I Go From Here."
-------------------------
[I'm posted up.. thinking. ]
we are born we LEARN half of our lives & work until.. we die eventually.
No one really LIVESSSS it to the fullest because we're too busy with grade school & college and work. [unlike the ppl born INTO money]
but the world is ruled by money; it makes it go round. if you aint got money.. then.. YOU AINT NOBODY.
----------------------------------------
I've been GROWN; but I aint been acting like it.
I'm shy.. like REALLY shy. I dont DO things because I'm afraid I'll mess up. I'm a people pleaser & IT HAS TO STOP!
I'm always telling myself "Oh you have to do this because SO & SO said so..."
you know.. but my momma told me "THIS IS YOUR LIFE; DO RIGHT BY IT"
I'm not sure where I go from here.. but I know its NOWHERE near where I am now.
I actually somewhat care, what people think but I constantly remind myself that THEY AINT BENEFICIAL so therefore THEY DONT MATTER!
Each day is a blessing.. and.. I'm not taking it for granted.

-anywheabuthere.`

I snapped this on a trip from Dallas back to Lufkin. *siqh* right now, I'd rather be anywhere but here . I mean I'm fine right now, but sometimes I don't even know why I continue to breath this air, feel this way, or even converse with these people who dont care about me. they just talk to me because I can help them get farther on their journey to the .. well, to wherever the hell they're going.
I just want to get in the car and drive to the end of the earth. I need to find a mountain top and exercise my lungs. *smh* I'm stressed... I barely sleep. I don't really eat anymore. .. I'm not the same.. I'm ... really "WHATEVER" at this moment in time.

I think that ... I am a Trey Songz fan. Not crazed obsessed, but a fan.
I never really paid him any attention when he first came out.. it was like . "Oh wow, mhhm, ONE HIT!" ... I remember vacuuming the floor and I was changing the channel and his video came on. "Gotta Make It" , I bobbed my head and said "He's Cute" .
Many years later, here we have it .. Mr. Tremaine "Trey Songz" Neverson, he's a threat to many guys in the game tho, he may not know it .. but he's putting Ne-Yo in a tight squeeze there. *sigh*
my favorite track has to be "Yo Side Of The Bed" . Its very very sentimental. I uh, like it alot.
uhm.. but, so far so good.. lets see what he has in store next .
-justdoitlikenike`

um... so I was bored && decided to hit up .. NIKE and made me a shoe (photoed above).
Dudeeeeeee Its pretty cool, the only thing that I don't like is that they don't have textures.. and patterns like polka dots, etc. but, next will be chucks... I really like shoes.. =)
-wheresdarealyou?
uhm, I dont like how fake you are.. you're not real.. you're not the person I've grown to know..
or maybe this is the REAL you and that other shit I grew to love was a lie.
but, I dont appreciate how you put others down to make yourself feel better.
I dont appreciate how you put yourself ABOVE everyone else.
Karma is coming, will it bite you in your ass. Hopefully it will.
I'm not wishing anything upon you. but, everything you have.. is a blessing.
EVERYTHING you are .. is because of US.
but in my eyes.. you're NOTHING.
I mean, when you find that person I once knew.. then holla at me.
-ohyewmad?
Don't like it.. FCK OFF. :D
So,
I've always been the type to do for others, and sometimes... try and break my neck to do FOR them at that.
I'm a people pleaser, sometimes when I don't DO for my friends.. It makes me feel bad; you know like.. I'm not being 100.
but, my mom told me "If you don't have it, you just don't"
I think my WHOLE life, I've always been worried about pleasing everyone & not myself.
I've been busting my ass to do for others when I get this half ass help in return.
I'm taking it all ONE day at a time, but each day... isn't better than the previous.
-youmademethisway.`
But, I'm not ready for the world.... or am I ?
I can't fathom being without my mother in my life.
I love her beyond life itself. She's babied me; my whole life.
Sometimes, I look at her and I feel like I've totally let her down.
I want to be something... I want to be someone that she's proud of.
I mean... I'm not doing anything with my life as of now.
But, I'm trying.. and that's .. good enough for me.
If people knew the way I see things.. the way I think.. they'd most likely understand me.
