5/25/14

Other people tell their mothers what happened on their trips but you can’t. Why not?

Mom, I don’t know why I cannot hold a conversation with you or anyone. I know that talking more will help me be able to talk to others in school; I just stink at having conversations. And I don’t have much exciting things to talk about.

5/27/14

There are so many fine girls in my school; I have my eyes on two. I would like to date either one but I am attracted to both for superficial reasons. I must get to know them better.

5/30/14

If I had one wish, my mom would not have any stress. She breaks her back every day to provide for us, only to come home to more stress. As hard as she works, mom needs a vacation every summer. It breaks my heart when she is angry and stressed.

8/21/14

I need to hang out more, Armani’s right. I don’t need to be with my brothers to have fun. I need to find out why I cannot with my peers.

8/21/14

I wonder why I’m so quiet. Maybe it started in elementary school when almost everybody avoided me accept three friends. For some reason I just cannot socialize around people, my friends and even my family! I feel distant, like I’m in my own solitary confinement. I can always find peace of mind in reading, meditating and exercising.

Mom, maybe it is best for and your stress to be more selfish. You should not kill yourself trying to help me; knowing full well that I won’t listen. You need to take more vacations, enjoy yourself and not worry about the little bastard within me. I don’t care about what people think of me; all I need is self-knowledge.

9/3/14

Dag nab bit! The last day before school; back to waking up and going to sleep early, homework, projects, etc. The good part is that I get to see my friends and teachers, lift weights and learn.

9/4/14

To all religions: STOP arguing! There are tons of organized beliefs about the world’s origin, truth, higher self, righteousness and how to live. Honestly, you should be more open minded and stop thinking your belief is the correct one because no one knows the beginning of time or life! And what’s up with only members being to learn the knowledge? Instead of building up the place of worship, build the communities. And for life’s sake, UNITE!

10/31/14

I am weird; sometimes I yearn to be sociable; other times I want to be alone. I am a coin: humorous, fun loving, smiling and uppity on one side. And blank faced, serious, anti-social and a macabre nutcase on the other side. I don’t know why I don’t smile often. I see myself as an outcast, lone wolf and a prisoner rotting in solitary.

What Makes a Psychopath? 11/8/14

What makes a psychopath? Is it isolation, sadness, rage or neglect? Perhaps it is passion, pain or pleasure. Positivity, negativity, relaxation or stress? Trauma, euphoria, sanity or insanity? What makes a psychopath? Solitary confinement, depression, envy, neglect, rejection, abuse, nightmares, dreams, wrath, hate, addiction and apathy.
