Dear Mary Jane

I have never felt so alone before. Well, I’m sure I have, but I just hate this feeling. I have been kicked out of both of my houses, I’m not allowed at my apartment with my roommates because my dad doesn’t like them, and he has told the cops to be on the lookout for me. I’m currently living at my friend’s house until I leave for Texas to finish off my last year of high school. They are making me live with my uncle. I don’t know anyone down there and I’m going to miss my friends sooo much. I’m not even going to be here when my niece is born. I hate this life.

Well, it’s your only one, so quit your bitchin, sweetie! I don’t wanna be the devil’s advocate but what good does it do to sit and mope around about how shitty your life is? I’ve been living out of my car on the streets of sketch-hood LA and you didn’t hear me moaning. You gotta get out there and hustle! People like us who were born on the bottom, have no choice but to work our ass off to just make it big and that should be your motivation. Everyone likes the “from rags to riches” story so start your story now! You’re moving to Texas, right? Use it to jump start your life. A fresh start, a new beginning. And you can write your story whichever way you want, that’s the beauty of it. YOU control your destiney, YOU have the power to turn your atmosphere positive or negative. So stop bitchin and start hustlin to those riches!
