I don’t know where I’m going to end up in life. I’m four years deep into my college career, switched my major in my second year to what seems to fit me better, but I still don’t know if that’s the path I want to follow. I want to make a difference and I absolutely love writing, even if some people hate my style of writing. I want my words to inspire those who read them. I want to encourage those around me to speak up and stand out.
I want to make a difference.
I do know, I want a family. I want to have kids, a husband, one who supports me in all ways. I want my own life, away from negative energy. I want to graduate college, even if it takes me longer than the “average” student. Honestly though, what even is an “average student”? But really, I want a family, as of recently I’ve realized that I want someone by my side, don’t get me wrong, I’m totally independent and really don’t NEED anyone there for me. I’m my own support system, but I want to go to bed each night with someone.
I want to be held and have a connection with someone that no one else can feel. I want to thrive with whoever I end up with, I want to be successful with them and support them in whatever they’re into. I want him to support me the way I will him.
Life is weird man. It’s weird how in just one day or even a few hours, you can realize so much. For so long I allowed myself to believe certain things and I never let my mind expand.
I have a family now, my parents, my brother and my nephew. They’re the closest to me, but they won’t be there forever. They can’t give me to love that I want to share with someone. I love them to death but I have a different type of love I want to give someone.
Maybe one day I’ll be some crazy good journalist or maybe I’ll have a book or two published. I want to make a difference. I want to let people know that their voice is important and to never cower down because someone has more “authority” than you do.
There’s times where I sit and think back over the past year. How the rape really impacted my life. For the longest time, I couldn’t even say the word “rape” it was such a harsh word that had so much power over me. Then I think back to how I was treated by the officers and detectives, I was told maybe I just “regretted the sex” and that it really wasn’t raped. I was told I was lying and for a while, I started doubting myself. I couldn’t remember the whole night, for God’s sake I was drugged. I was passed out when it all started and woke up in the middle and I fought, I had hand marks and bruises and the cops still didn’t believe me. Friends didn’t believe me. A family member tried saying maybe this was Gods way of dealing with my sins.
In life, people will doubt you. You could be holding a pineapple and say that it’s a pineapple and someone will still say it’s a pumpkin. There are just people like that in this world. People who like to doubt others, who like to put others down and see them fail. The best thing to do while around those people is to say fuck ’em and do you. Show them your success show them that their judgement and doubt does not faze you.
Life is weird man. People are weird. One day I’m going to be a bomb ass mom and a good ass wife. Fuck ’em
