Cool
A dress shirt that was lightweight tight on me m, ain’t no more. I did lose some weight too….or maybe I stretched it out… Nah must be the weight lost
I remember the days where I wore the same clothes 2-3 times a week, just had to switch it up a little every time I changed. Hard times.
So thankful that the people I hung out with never made my life hell for it. Even wearing payless and shoes with holes.
Then there were the few who did make my life hell. But the good overcame the bad.
It was still traumatizing to attend school sometimes,...
I'm scared
I swear I heard my Grandpa call for me or austin, I was like ” Ay foo, you didnt hear grandpa?” He says no. I look out the door, nothing but pitch black.
Now I’m starting to wonder if there is a spirit or ghost in my room. Usually in my computer room is when I hear shit. I heard a whisper once or voices a few times, but each time I just tell myself I’m trippen, turn the...
AYPAL is Life Changing
Today, it hit me, after hearing many of the interns sharing their stories and reflecting on my own experience before and during AYPAL, we all have a lot in common.

Moving out

Sealing it all up and hiding in my shell
Lol I feel like I’m in high school again.
Shouldn’t had took a nap or ate that hot dog…
Starting to build up a lot of resentment and idk how to stop it
Should some things be left unsaid and just let it go? Or should I say fuck it and be like “Ay I got some to say”. Either way, same ending….hmm…
Appreciations
It was pretty cool to see the youth get so happy and cheering when they were receiving their certificates. Great job AYPAL.

Just had a dream come true, too bad it was a dream. Fuck you.
It’s been a great weekend so far. Need to keep surrounding myself with the good folks I be around.
