so i turned 19 one week ago today. my mom and step-dad took me and an old friend of mine, lisa, to the buckeye. now i guess i just put too much faith in humanity, because i assumed that if my parents were taking me out to dinner on my birthday, they would be decent, at least for the night. however, my mom was decided this was the perfect time to

Here's a little "wisdom" from someone who has no right to give wisdom but I really care about you (that isn't just bullshit, I do and just because we don't have much in common in a superficial sense I think we see eye to eye on a lot of things)

One thing I think that I know is that everyone is dealt a hand, and even though it pays off in different ways I think we're all given the same potential. People have good times and bad times, and sometimes it's all at the same time...the point is you're more intelligent than you would probably give yourself credit for, and you're an honestly good person. More so than myself, I think. Your mom is wrong to not see that. Or maybe she does see that, and is scared that you won't use it. But I think you are using it, and that it'll all pay off. Hell, you work a lot harder than I do and you deserve better gain. Maybe I sound too optimistic? But you work too hard and care too much (from what I can tell) for it to not work. You just need to find something you care about and change your situation. Change and movement are good. Yes. Sorry to preach, I hope it didin't sound that way. It just kills me to think that you are feeling hopeless. Because that's completely unfair.

Also, I'd really like to hang out with you sometime soon. I don't know what you're up to, but I have a lot of free time and it seems like you have some. And I still have "Fugitives and Refugees"...which I loved by the way. Maybe you should come to Portland.
