Sick, tired... but still kicking it

When I look back at last year I realize that no matter all crap that happened, it was by far the best. It was full of amazing friends, many drunken fun nights and a few set backs. I realize I accomplished everything I set out to do, I finally began college and saved up a little money. And now im here in mexico having such an amazing time with my family, something that rarely happens at home.
Some of the things that annoy about being here are the fact that Im that I have to go to church every sunday. It´s such a catholic town, there´s no way i could say "I dont want to go to church, I dont believe in jesus" and get away with it. People scorn you and basically burn you with there stare here because of their great faith in Jesus/God. And I dont blame them, I´m happy for them, I´m glad that they believe so strongly in something. But the thing is that I dont, and that makes me feel like an outsider like im completely wrong in my beliefs or lack thereof. What angers me that most is that they attempt to instill such fear in you if you don´t believe what they believe. "if you don´t go to church the devil is going to get you, he´s touching you, he´s making you do evil things¨ says my overly religious aunt. Fuck! why can´t it just be my own opinion, why is everything that isn´t catholic evil?
Anyway, It´s almost exactly a year since I turned vegiterian and I feel so healthy and great. It began as a new years resolution, and now it will stick as a part of my life. I´m not sure yet what I plan to do this year, but I know that it will be something great.
