A Revelation

Yesterday wasn't a very good day for me, by a long shot! I guess that it would be an understatement to say that it sucked. Everything was going wrong and it was just all so.... crappy.

My stomach was killing me from the beginning of First Period at school. It hurt sooo bad, I wanted to cry. I finally convinced Mrs. Healey to let me go to the nurse and Mr. Bingay sent me home. Madre took me to the doctor's where they perscribed me Prilozac OTC and now I have to take one every day. But..... then the car broke down. So, Auntie Melissa [thank you soooo much, once again] came to pick us up, since Dad was an hour away. Auntie brought us back to our house and I left to go to the Lincoln Park Boy's basketball game. I walked there with my two friends Bridget and Brie. Did I mention that The Kennedy is about a 45 minute walk from my house? Yea.. I guess you could say it was TERRIABLE!!!! And then once we got there, the game was just about over. Ugh we were sooo mad!!! We had even bought eyeliner on the way over and wrote "I Love Gungus" and "Go Lincoln Boys!" across our cheeks. FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

So, then I basically ran home, so I could make my curfew on time, which I did. Lol! Then dinner plans were cancelled and I need to get out of the house, so I started skating up and down my street on my board. It was really stress releaving and I really felt refreshed! My street is a hill on one side and flat on the other, and it's really smooth. PERFECT for skateboarding!! Pounding that pavement with my left foot, then bending my knees as I took the plunge down the hill seemed so simple to someone walking by, but felt so good to me! I couldn't stop! After awhile, I did get extremely tired and I walked around to the back of my building, put my board down and laid on it, stomach up so I could watch the clouds. I think I sat there for about 45 minutes, just watching the planes go by and listening to the sounds of the city. And I realized.. even though things seem to have hit rock-bottom, theres still stuff to be happy about! It was such great weather, the sky was beautiful and the occasional bird [yea, BIRD. Not pigeon!] that did fly by wasn't all that annoying. I think I counted about 14 planes that passed through my small view of the sky.. it was pretty amazing.

Yeah, I've gotten through worse times than this. So I KNOW that there's hope for me to be strong and get over this tiny tiny obstacle.
