Don't you ever feel that life is closed in upon you? My mom usually picks me up every other weekend with my best friend, though it's now on hold because she's not doing so well financally. I'm trapped at home with parents that I can't relate too taking me to do driving lessons every day after dinner. I'm still single and my friends in my small social life live far away and are usually busy. I don't have a job. And I don't have time to do my artwork because I'm both afriad and tired from a busy day. I got to get myself back into my interests and do my artwork again, that's what made me happy for now.

That can be a difficult spot to be in.

Understand that idea.

Well, that's entirely my life at the moment, with the exception that I've yet to make friends or even find temporary employment. We're in a bad way, with this horrible divorce my mom is in the middle of from my abusive stepdad. She's a caretaker for some monster of a woman, which is a case unto itself for our shared misery, and then now she's the sole income for our house because we live in such a small and isolated town that I haven't found a place that could take me and still be able to have my meds payed for - there are so many catch-22's, I often think of killing myself just so my mom could have some cash left to help her with her own profound medical problems. I honestly feel so trapped, I just have no goddamn idea how you come out from under such a large rock.

I just found out that my appartment probably won't be ready until January. Plus I'm having my wisdom teeth taken out this Friday so I'll be in pain probably for weeks. :(
