Or is it just change. I gotta tell ya I am tired, I am so tired of this life I created or that was created for me. EVERYTHING has it's own way of being & Everything is happening just as it should, If all of this was written to happen to me I would definitely want to kill the author! I'm so tired of my life. I can see 1 of three things happening, either (A)  I become a crazy lady screaming in the streets about my problems, maybe pushing a shopping cart or maybe just raggedy carrying a blanket. The scary part about this one is that, that lady lives deep inside of me & she just wants to give up & say FUDGE it. I don't because there is another lady that lives inside that let's me know; that she doesn't care how tired I get WE are not doing that! But sometimes I am so beat down I think the crazy lady will win. (B)  I will off myself because I'm in so much pain.

     L et's define Awareness:  Awareness is  knowledge or perception of a situation or fact. It can also be consciousness, recognition, realization or perception. Awareness is also having a concern about &  being well-informed. Now I think what happened this particular day is something that can happen to n-e-one when they get in the zone.        There is this community organization here in LA that helps people, suffering from substance abuse issues. They also help people seeking employment, people seeking housing & other things that are needed to survive in these streets. I'm not going to say the name of the organization but I became a volunteer there. This was my first day and that being the case I feel like I should've been a little more aware. It didn't have any effect on my personal performance that I wasn't, it just made me feel like from then on I would be.       That day, I came in went to group th...
