And now the time has come to finally admit the truth that i have been running from all this time: I am completely out of control. I try so very hard to maintain some sort of balance in my life. I find that as long as I am the only one working toward it, it is impossible to accomplish. Honestly, it feels like the end to me. It seems as though I never have the time to finish everything i consider important. The things I am able to do I rarely feel satisfied with, and there is always a list double in length of things I don't even get to start on. It is very obvious to me that this job is too big for me. I think it shows, because on the surface things look right. If you took a closer look, you could see that everything is falling apart. so at this point it seems logical to note that I have two basic options: I can either give up completely and let these infections consume me slowly until there is nothing left or I can choose to place in my trust in a power greater than myself. I believe in love, don't mistake me. Love is the power I want to live by, but now I must bring myself to surrender to it. One attack after another has left me so unsure of where I am going. I just want to scream out for help. As I am typing these words for all of you to read, a sadness is pouring out of me from deep down-wherever it is I keep all the things that eat away at me. It's almost a relief to express it, except for the fact that despite knowing my basic options, I have no actual plan for correcting the issue. What now? Would it be better just to let my fear conquer me? And what am I so afraid of anyway? I couldn't even tell you. Scared of admitting what I've already had to admit-that I can't live alone. A part of me would really love to pretend I can do everything on my own. However, I can admit that my experience shows me repeatedly that is not the case. At one point, I was really starting to understand my life, but I feel that even then I was more interested in sex than I was in love.


time to start over-start going to meetings again, doing my steps, reading my book, but how on earth will I fit all that into my 3 jobs, school, and limited free time? I'm not sure how all this will work out, but I am trying to be faithful. For those of you who pray at night, drop a line in there for me please. I'd be gald to return the favor. peace and much love from jamie.

So not to put anyone on blast but when i woke up this morning, my roomate and her friend were cozied up in the bed together and i just stopped to register this: 'damn that's really the only thing i want at this given time-just someone to snuggle with, to be close to and keep me warm.' and shortly after i realized i have many options but i am just too picky i guess!! anyways everyone have a great day and leave me some friggin comments why don't you? lol, jamie!

I finished this semester with a cummulative 3.23 GPA and 3.54 overall GPA. That's dropping from last semester, but i am also struggling with my health-mental and physical this time around. so i will cut myself a little slack, save some room for fuck-ups. I guess part of growing up is realizing that u aren't as grand as u once thot; similarly, not as horrid as u once thot. Speaking personally, growing to find that I am not perfect-not even close-and there is really no reason for me to even want to be anything but what i am. Because if i was i wud never learn anything, never mess up, or have the opportunity to learn from my mistakes. And life wud be so very dull. i don't want that. so just for today, i can be thankful for my weakness, beacause being honest abt it means i am able to seek and accept help from a power greater than myself. hope u all have a great day, a great holiday, and hey-wat's up with some gifts yall? my tree is so bare. Drop me off a present or two and i will return the favor!! peace and much love from ur hippie sister jamie.
