life is strange

Lately I've been battling lots of negative thoughts and vibes, all over mundane things that shouldn't bother me, but always seem to manage to dig their way under my skin. I've been dealing with boys who think they know me better than I know me, and have a lot of growing to do before they can even consider calling themselves men; Parents who don't seem to understand the complexities of transitioning back into home life after 9 months of freedom and dorm life; A completely barren job market that has left me desperate and unemployed...and broke; And a sad excuse for a self esteem, that dips down lower than the Mariana's Trench.
Despite all of this, this summer has not been a complete bust thus far. I don't know what the upcoming months have in store for me, but I'm highly anticipating some interesting adventures. A little optimism goes a long way~
