In the past, I'd probably have dropped half my classes, quit one of my jobs, and just laid in bed all day disregarding all of my responsibilities and ignoring the world. Now, I finds myself getting more and more sleep every day, getting up earlier, driving myself top work with an upbeat attitude, completing all of my assignments on time, and just overall being able to push through the daily difficulties with a smile on my face. It really does feel like I went from crawling over fallen hurdles to clearing them in record time.

I struggle with optimism. I catch myself behaving pessimistically often. I always assume the worse and set myself up for failure. This quote gave me a small but meaningful insight into how I can change my mindset.

While free housing is nice, I really do want to get away from my parent's place. If I'm ever going to be happy and succeed, I need to take the first step of removing myself from the current environment I'm in, and creating a new one I love and feel safe and free in.

I've always enjoyed reading and writing, but I never had the self-esteem to finish anything and put it out for others to see. I hope that sometime in the next year, maybe I'll find some time and motivation to write something I'm proud of and share it to people.

Don't get me wrong--I really do appreciate driving around in the car my parents owned since 2003, but I'd really prefer I buy my own vehicle. Ideally, something that suits me and makes me happy. I've always liked Jeeps and Beetles, so after some more saving and long hours, I can buy one with cash or put a payment on one.

I've been through a lot in my life. Especially when I was little. Unfortunately, no one ever taught me how to tell others or seek help before it was too late. Now that I'm 18, I can look back and just realize how I was really scarred throughout my years of youth. Going forward, I am going to seek professional help that will teach me to heal from the trauma and pain I've dealt with in my life.

I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but before I depart from the Earth, I want to change it in some way. As long as I can make a good enough impact on enough people, I'll consider that as changing the world for the better.

I've never had the best relationship with any of my family. I hope that one day down the line, everyone has healed and can eventually reconnect in a more healthy and peaceful way.

My whole life I've lived in and only seen the south coast of the U.S. I don't care where I go, but throughout my life I want to see as many places as I can. I want to breathe new airs, see new animals, research unique cultures, and just see the world for what it is outside of the bubble I've been in.

Although it seems like fantasy, my dream home would be in some random, crummy apartment in the heart of some busy lit up city. The dream is making that horrible apartment MINE. To decorate it how I want, and to make it my own safe space.
