Change will do you good

 I'm at a place I've never really been before and I can't say I can get my feet grounded very well. I'm normally very adapting and I always try my best to make a situation work but it has been months since I've felt good about myself. Journal after journal I always abandon my only vent for a thinking process after a while. I think I'm in need of some structure and planning. So... I've made some plans. 

For the past few months I've been pretty dead set on becoming a nurse. 80-90 grand a year, extreme benefits, working 3 days a fucking week and being able to provide for my parents at some point.

And..... I really hope I do.

So although I'm going back to an idea I've been dragging with me for years now, I've decided I'm sticking with it. So technically I don't know if this is change but, I've been in some serious need of some in general. Even though I'm really fucking tired of trying, I'm gonna
