About Me

My photo
Texas, United States
I am an obsessive-compulsive college student trying to balance school, family, and life. Most days I do pretty well, but when I don't, it's a world-stopping show of emotions. I live with my recently divorced partner and her two kids, who don't know about our relationship. In general, my life is a mess and most days I don't know up from down, but I'm doing my best to orient myself in the right direction.

The People

Skittles: My partner with whom I live.
Bear: The eldest daughter of Skittles. She is 13.
Tweedle: The youngest daughter of Skittles. She is 8.
Jerkwad: The ex-husband of Skittles.
The Saint: Jerkwad's live-in girlfriend.

Liar: A mistake from my past.

More will be added as need be. If you have questions as to how people gained thier names, just ask.

Me, myself, and I

I had an epiphany today. I cannot change those around me, but I can change myself and how I react to those people.

I can love more and hate less.
I can cuddle more and avoid less.
I can talk more and yell less.
I can tolerate more and freak out less.
I can get things done and be lazy less.

I can do these things regardless of the moods and actions of those around me. Perhaps, my change will reflect on to them, but I cannot expect it to do so.

  1. No, you can't expect it, but it probably will affect them. And even if it doesn't, you'll be ever so much happier!
