Two Days Ago

Two days ago I was so worried about whether the Marine liked me or not, and if I was going to like my new job, and other small stuff like that.

Today is a new day.

First off, it's my birthday. 24 years, dude. Also my second cousin might be born tonight, so I might have to share my birthday.

Second, and biggest of all, my mother lost her job. She's the primary bread winner for our family, so it's a BIG FUCKING DEAL. We'll be okay, because of reasons that I won't go into, but my mom has worked for this company since I was 5 months old. They've always been in my life, and they cut her off without so much as a warning. So my entire family is upset. Surprisingly, my mom isn't that upset. We think it's because she's numb, and it hasn't set it yet. When it does set in, though, we'll be there for her.

Turns out two days is plenty of time to turn your whole fucking world upside down. I'm working through it, and I'll be fine, really. I just have to remember that something good will come of this. God brought us to it, so he'll bring us through it.

Tomorrow will be kinder.
