			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore">Who am I?<br />
<br />
It’s a question I find myself asking on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
But is there an answer to this question I am asking?<br />
<br />
Is it my profession?<br />
My age?<br />
My gender?<br />
My race?<br />
My personality traits?<br />
My wealth or lack thereof?<br />
<br />
Is it all of these things combined together?<br />
<br />
Even after I think about each thing in particular and list my character traits, my ambitions, my faults, my priorities, material<br />
things that I have accumulated over the past 21 years of my life, and so on in my head, I still have no clue who I am.<br />
<br />
I guess in the real world, you just put on a mask and costume and become whoever you want to be.<br />
<br />
Although I don’t understand why, because maybe then you fool yourself into thinking that you are this stranger. <br />
<br />
I’m afraid that I’m guilty of this and many others in this world are as well.<br />
<br />
I would hate to think that I’m not only a stranger to myself, but that everyone I have known in my lifetime are all strangers to me as well.<br />
<br />
So when do we shed this mask and costume and become who we truly are?<br />
<br />
When do I get to be myself and find out what that is exactly?<br />
<br />
It’s a question left unanswered so far.<br />
<br />
I’ve changed my mask so many times that I’m lost as to who I really am and it breaks my heart to think that this may be something that I will struggle with for a long time to come.<br />
<br />
I am beyond doubt lost as to who I was and what I’ve become.<br />
<br />
And only I can find myself again.</blockquote>

<br />
1) Needles - I'm terrified of them!<br />
2) Veins - I can't have people touch my veins, on the inside of my elbow, wrists and behind my knee caps, I call them my knee pits haha! <br />
<br />
Oh well lol, I think I've gotten Billy (the boyfriend) sick as well. I feel so bad, because I have the weekend off...Well I have crap loads of homework, but still. Poor Billy has to work all weekend.<br />
<br />
Ahhhh the winter season! Lots of illness going around that people just love to share! I just hope this doesn't go back and fourth between the two of us!<br />
<br />
Well nothing else going on at all right now, same old, same old. School and sleep! What an exciting life I know! I don't know how I handle it all! <br />
<br />
Alright then,<br />
Until next time...You know what I'll be doing! </font></font></span><br />

<br />
I think that's about it...I knocked off two case studies and an essay, as well as a test this past week!!!! I think I'm just gonna have to motor through as much as I can this weekend and see where it gets me. If I can finish a lot early, that would be great! Then all that will be left are the tests!  :chest:<br />
<br />
I'm still awaiting my first reply from a pp...It should be arriving next week. Then I might have something more to talk about, other than my crappy moods and school haha. <br />
<br />
Well I'm off to hit the books!<br />
<br />
See ya!</font></font></span> :wave2:</blockquote>

I think something is seriously wrong with me! I've been feeling so nauseous and I can't seem to get rid of a horrible head ache. All I do is sleep and go to school. I have no energy to do anything anymore and it's driving me nuts. I dunno, I've been having a lot of health and personal problems for the past 2 years now and I guess it's finally catching up with me. I can barely force myself to get out of bed and face the day anymore. Luckily I have a new place to get it all out! Just how I'm feeling...Write it down and get it out of my head. I mean I have enough to worry about being swamped with school work and all, so it'll be nice to clear my head you know?<br />
Anyways I'm pretty tired, so I think I might just pop in a DVD and call it a day.<br />

Until Next Time<br />

<br />
<b><u><font color="Red">HOME</font></u></b><br />
<font color="Red">My essence has now vanished,<br />
Our love is now a war.<br />
I look back now,<br />
With much regret.<br />
My head,<br />
Uncertain of what the future holds.<br />
And so I breathe it all in,<br />
And never exhale.<br />
A hole forms in my heart,<br />
Growing larger every day; in this cold dark place.<br />
Bleeding internally,<br />
For all eternity.<br />
I’ve lost myself.<br />
Trapped in a stranger,<br />
Everything unknown,<br />
I am stuck with this vile existence,<br />
A life of unbearable means,<br />
Until you take my hand,<br />
And guide me back home.</font><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u><font color="MediumTurquoise">FREEDOM</font></u></b><br />
<font color="MediumTurquoise">Innocent child,<br />
Not yet broken.<br />
She lies unclothed and exposed in the crowd.<br />
They shatter her very being,<br />
And engrave deep wounds into her soul.<br />
Her innocence bleeds out onto the gravel.<br />
Beautiful red streams of her essence.<br />
The wounds leave scars, and hate begins to flow through her veins.<br />
Empty eyes,<br />
Numb soul,<br />
And she now believes them.<br />
She stares at the reflection of this stranger with disgust.<br />
The darkness descends upon her soul.<br />
The past takes grip of her throat.<br />
Inside she screams,<br />
Silence.<br />
The grip begins to tighten,<br />
She realizes that she has lost the fight.<br />
Her final breath releases the person she has become.<br />
As she lie there,<br />
Her corpse now cold and limp,<br />
Tranquility overcomes her soul.<br />
She is free.</font><br />

<br />
Who I am I kidding? Nobody likes to get sick! I guess it's just double this weekend, sick with no rest.<br />
<br />
I am going to be so thankful for the holiday break coming up. Have a chance to get home and see the friends and family. It'll be a nice change from all of the chaos! That's for sure! <br />
<br />
For now, I just have to suck it up and get the work done and soon enough the relaxation time will come. I think I'll sleep for a week! <br />
<br />
Alright well I guess it's back to work until the hubby gets home with some meds and food. The  upside of being ill...He waits on ME hand and foot for a change haha!</b></span></font><br />

I guess I'm just a little impatient because I've wanted to do this for so long and now that I finally am...I just want it to happen quickly lol. I'm just getting excited! I'm just scared that I won't get a replay at all. Oh well, I'm sure that I'll make some great friends on this site and maybe make a few pen pals while I'm at it. The worst thing that could happen is nothing, then I'd just be where I started right? Haha.<br />
<br />
I guess I'm just super stressed with all that's going on in my life right now and just want something good to happen. Between work, college and home life. It's non-stop! Ahhh I don't mind though, only 2 more years of it and I'll have a career hopefully! Just gotta keep working at it!<br />
<br />
Well that's all that's going on in my head right now.<br />

I think this site is amazing and it's a great thing to do. Everybody seems to write off all these inmates as horrible people. Truth is, they're human beings too and being lonely is never a good thing, no matter where you are. I'm always up for meeting new people, from all different walks of life. I'm just happy that I finally did this, I've wanted to for years now and it feels great that I actually have now. Alright, well I'm sitting here on campus and have just noticed it's time for class, so I guess it's goodbye for now!</font></b>:baeh:</blockquote>
