This is so poignant, it brings tears to my eyes.

Reading this hurt me in a place I didn’t think even existed inside of me anymore.

I can’t even begin to explain how much of this I’ve been through.

First off I would like to start off saying…If you think you need to get your life together and make something of yourself you should stop getting wasted and high ever night of your life. Living on sofas and drifting around towns is no way to live.

Secondly, I’m pro life. I understand people want to make the choice of having a child or not, but you already have that choice before conception. Stop having unprotected sex! I really think this pro choice deal has gotten to the point of where it’s like a animal shelter. Everyone is like this state has this many kids waiting to be adopted and this state has this many. Maybe we should start teaching children more about sex rather than making it so taboo. Let’s face it, they don’t make teenagers like they use to. Kids are having sex at earlier ages and thus booming out some babies. As adults we know how to prevent pregnancy, it’s pretty much common sense so teach the children already.Humans know how to prevent unwanted pregnancy, if you don’t think you are ready to have a child then why are you out fucking round in the first place? If you are fucking around, why aren’t you using a condom? I mean condoms are free every single day at health departments. If you are using condoms you could still be using birth control. Again, most health departments give you free birth control. Oh, you are using birth control and condoms but something still goes wrong. There is the morning after pill. But once you let a baby grow inside of you and it has a little heartbeat then it’s a human too. Deciding you need an abortion so many weeks or months into a pregnancy is ridiculous. So many ways to prevent it before hand. I’m sure you can’t have a child and kill it at birth and get away with it, so what makes abortion any different?

Anyway, it’s going to come a tornado today. I’m home alone. I can almost see it now…my dogs and I cuddled in the bath tub.

I'm never really good with "titles."

But I’d just like to point out I’m tired of trying to be friends with anyone. Everyone pretty much sucks.

I think I need new friends

in a new town

in a bigger city

in a different state

I honestly think I’m at that point in my life where I’ve realized I have no goddamn clue what I’m doing. What the fuck is going on, for real what? Fuck, I don’t even know what anyone else is doing. I have about zero real friends that can just talk without talking about useless bullshit. I need a real life, I’m so tired of this.

I’m seriously really goddamn depressed and I’m telling tumblr.fml.

and there were these 12 year old boys hanging around. As I got my food and left they were all checking me out like little prepubescent lemurs and one of them said “can I get your number?”

and I turned around and said “Why, you need a babysitter?”

hahaha. Win.
