A thief in my house...

   I'm going to try to be as honest as I can in this post without giving myself away. I'm about to let you take a deeper look into my home life. This post is the reason I started this blog...so I could speak freely about those "closest" to me. By closest I don't mean people I love and care about. I'm talking about the people my family lets into our house, the people who could give two shits about respecting anyone or anything. These are the people responsible for making everyone uncomfortable 

   In late June or early July (of this year) my grandmother was on the phone a lot. She'd be yelling and crying. After about the hundredth phone call I decided to ask what was going on. She told me we'd be taking in a cousin's girlfriend and 3 kids who successfully came from Honduras. Already at this point I'm like I'm not sharing my room, I REFUSE. She told me we'd figure out the room thing which we did. So a few days go by and I get home from work and I see these cute but insanely dirty, smelly kids. I feel so bad for them and their mom. So I give the mom a lot of my own clothes, buy her clothes, and stuff for the kids. After that I just let them get settled about a week or two into them being there the mother started cleaning my room. I told her she did have to but she did anyway. She told me it was to say thanks. She cleaned my room every other day. for a while I didn't really notice anything different or missing from my room. So I just let her.

    After a while I did start noticing stuff going missing. She'd have them and I realized she wasn't cleaning my room to say thank you. She was scoping out my room to see what small things she could take. I'll say it took about a month and a half to see what all had went missing. In that month's time I came to trust her, lend her money, and consider her a friend. We did everything together. 

   I decided that I'd let it go. As long as I got the money I lent her back we'd be fine (still waiting on that jsyk). She's done some more sneaky shit to other people in my family but that's not my business to blog about. 

   At this point I don't trust her. I don't think I'll ever be able to. She still lives in my house for free. She still owes me and my family over $200. She isn't a good person and I can't wait until everyone realizes how she really is. Karma is a real thing and eventually she'll get her's. 

Until next time,

Cliche and Generic Thanksgiving Post

   Happy thanksgiving all! Today is the day mostly everyone uses to go off their crazy fad diets.Who can blame them? How often do you have pies on pies on pies? I mean unless you're a baker or something.
   Aside from all the food today is the day people actually open up to their loved ones and tell them they are loved. Today is a day you take the time to appreciate the little things and just spend time reflecting on how good you have it.
   About a year ago I was in high school. I had a great job, great friends, and a great boyfriend, Then in what seemed like an instant I lost it all. I signed myself out of school to work more hours, I lost friends, then I lost my job in September. I felt like a failure. I felt like I was losing control of my life. 
   I did what I never did before. I talked to my family and boyfriend. I let them know how I felt and I asked for help. With the help from them and a nice forceful shove I am now closer to getting my GED. I have a new job and my relationship with my family is stronger than it has be before. 
   I am thankful for my family and my incredible boyfriend. Without them I would have been in a very dark place. Because of them I don't feel like a complete screw up. I feel like I really can do anything I set my mind to. 
   I am also thankful for the things I've gone through in the past few months. Those events helped me see who I could really trust. I am a smarter person. I don't ignore my gut instincts like I used to.
   All in all I am thankful for being a smarter, stronger person. A year ago I didn't have any type of plan. I just went with the wind. Although I may not have the most detailed outline of my life I do have some short term goals. I am thankful for the growth I've noticed in myself in just 5 short months.

So what are you thankful for?
