At this point, I just want to be here for another month. I want to finish at least 40 things on my huge to do list, which mostly can be done being at home or at an internet cafe. I cant believe how messed up things got here but the only thing to do is to move on and in some ways this bump in my life has been good because I know what direction I want to take. There is a lot that has improved.
I want to go to an independent living program, preferrably away from the city. within a month. I hope I can geographically pick the location. I have to get ready for going to one of those places. Ill, probably be there for at least 4 months. I never want to show myself around these parts again and be reminded of the undesirable aspects of my past. This has been a good time to remember everything good about my past but not be in the srrroundings of my past ever again. Things wouldnt have gotten this complicated if I moved as recently as October.
I still feel a bit ambivalent about this decsion. I would have had 3 concerts to go to (Bloc Party, Mogwai, and the Faint) I would have Feng Shui classes to take and all of these places below to go to:
Caffe Notte
Muddy Cup in Staten Island
The Coffee Pot
Irving Place Coffee and Tea Bar
Cafe Wha
Bagel Zone
Sympathy for the Kettle
Cafe PickmeUp
Cake Shop
Esperanto Cafe
Grey Dogs Cafe
Gorrilla Cofee Ink
Joe the Art of Coffee all 4 locations in Manhatten, Staten Island, and Queens
Cocoa butter
Max Brenner
Lucky Cat
Tillie's of Brooklyn in Clinton Hill
Ozzie's Cafe III
Neighborhood/areas
Brooklyn Heights
Battery Park City
Roosevelt Island
Hoboken
Extreme eastern parts of Upper East Side and extreme Western part of Upper West Side
Greenpoint
Williamsburg
I also have 120 gym hours to complete if I want to graduate in June. I would have been able to take Tai Chi classes, Kayak, and/or play Hockey. I got so messed up here without it being my fault that I just dont care if I put some aspects of life on hold and dont do some of the things above I could have done by staying here longer. I dont even mind if I graduate a bit later.
1 Part of Soul Meets Body by Death Cab for Cutie
"I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what it's like to be new
Because in my head there's a Greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
Where they're far more suited than here
I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's
And not one speck will remain"
2 Part of Linkin Park Crawling
"Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence, I'm convinced
there's just too much pressure to take "
3 Part of The World at Large by Modest Mouse
"My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth."
4 Part of Pioneers by Bloc Party
"If it can be broke then it can be fixed, if it can be touched then it can be turned"
5 Part of S.O.S by Rihanna
"It's not healthy... for me to feel this way
Y.O.U. are making this hard,
I can't take it, see it don't feel right
S.O.S. please someone help me
It's not healthy... for me to feel this way
Y.O.U. are making this hard
You got me tossin' and turnin' and can't sleep at night"
6 Part of Faint by Linkin Park
"I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore"
7 Part of Pulse in the Way by me
"My premonition will guide me
Pulses that don't need to be explained but followed without questioning
For now, its a pulse in the way
I still know what Im getting myself into
All the risks and preoccupations
The thrill is satisfying"
(I cant seem to upload any recent pictures of me onto my profile pictures>.<)
Peace, Everyone (For once saying peace does not sound cliche or tacky)
