Why Is It So Complicated? February 2, 2008

I have noticed the older i get the more complicated things seem to be in life. I know I am still very young, but I feel as if I am going no where pretty damn fast.

For instance, college. Why is it so complicated to get financial aid? When they asked what race I was, I was automatically eliminated from twenty scholarships. I don’t understand how you can be eliminated by race! It shouldn’t be based on color, it should be based on income. And also I “made too much money last year”. What about this year!!!! I have no job! What the hell?

Relationships just seem to be going down hill a little more and more each day. I mean with men, family, and friends. I am some how getting less tollerant of people. The little things seem to be making me angry all the time and I keep praying for peace, but I am not finding it yet.

I also joined a ladies book club. I am so excited. Me and my really good friend are going to go together. The book we are reading is called ‘Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World’. It is a Christian based book that is absolutely great at helping you realize you can be a woman in this crazy society and still have God in your life. I think it would be nice to have that peace in my life again.

I am also still on my crazy job search. I have had some interesting interviews and I can’t believe the pay rate at some of these places. They want to give you a huge work load and no money. How do these employers expect you to survive in this harsh world?

And last of all, I am absolutely grateful for my health! For once I am healthy (besides the hive incident last night from the potatoes!) and on my way to happiness. The only part I can’t quite seem to get my little mind around is how have I gained 30 pounds in one month? Yes readers, you saw that correctly. 3-0! I have now had to steal my mother’s pants so i have something to wear when i leave the house. Gotta love ya some stress!
