there were alot of revolts and wars started on my birthday, not surprised . . . honestly my life is a constant battle & i just always wonder why it needs to be or why it is this way . . .
i don't know/doubt anyone reads this anymore, and after tonite i'll prob forget i wrote in it, but i guess i'll come bak to it eventually
all it is, is that i'm feeling the most lost i've ever felt . . . & im using home as my only grounding point, not that it shouldn't be, it's just shouldn't i be finding some comfort at BU, any comfort . . .
