A Few Wonderful Things In My LIfe
Sat Jul 15 2000

Ok, Let's see,
For the last two weeks I have been going on very low energy, not sleeping or eating much, working a lot, for a 15 year old, waking up at 7 a.m. and working from 8-3:30 then going straight to another job from then till 9 is HARD!!!
Plus, I know in my last entry I mentioned a friend who got raped, well, I wasn't telling the truth and in my own diary!!! I was raped by smeone whom I trusted and have been so hurt by. I had to go to have a rape test done, take antibotics that gave me a yeast infection, et cetera. I have had the nightmares and the shaking everytime I think he's going to come around, the police haven't found him yet and so I wonder sometimes if he knows I reported it?!!!
Not too long ago I met a wonderful person who has a job a lot of people want and is not too common for people, and he's great at it, and most of all, from the personal way I was priveliged to meet him, he's a wonderful inspiring and compassionate person, he may have flown in space before but that's not what I think he's wonderful for. I met him through a really wonderful friend, my former teacher at elementary school. I love her very much and I have to sneak around to see her because of something that happened with my real mom once. I crave the kind of love and attention that I get from my "true friends" which most are older then me, they are great advise givers and listening ears and they make me live, they help me through this hard life every step of the way. I don't know how I'll ever get to thank them,... I don't think I can!!!
Some more of my friends, a lady at one of the jobs I have, she was brushing and braiding my hair and she asked me in private, why did you go to the bathroom and throw up after you ate those cookies??? I froze, knowing she had followed me yet kind of glad she did, glad she cared.
At my other job I have my mom and dad whom aren't even related to me. I am NOT embarrased to call them mom and dad instead of their real names at work, and I am pretty sure that the others are used to it by now!
Those people and some things such as all of my pictures that I have from most events in my life from disposable cameras, cards from Christmas's and birthdays and other special times, like get wells, those are things that make me feel great and special and loved. I live everyday for the small yet great things like that!!!
Well, I'm dead tired now so I'll write again soon, I hope that if you read this you'll leave a comment of some kind on here, Take Care!!! !Me

    Hey Girl!
    Well, I followed your directions and wrote something to you...hehehe

    Wow, I was so moved by your entry. I am so sorry to hear of such terrible things you have gone through. There isn't a thing I could say to make them go away. I too was sexually abused (not raped) when I was young. A few times, at different ages. I know the pain that goes with that. It lingers and follows your every move. I had to LEARN how to let go of it...although it is NOT easy or fun or comfortable. All I can give you is a listening ear and HOPE that there IS healing. Keep seeking that healing.

    I can also relate to you on the eating disorder. I used to starve myself, thinking that somehow I could make my pain go away by making pounds go away. Please take a little from my experience...that does not make ANYthing go away...it only brings even MORE heartache and pain. Seek healing and continue to journal and find someone who can help you.

    Thanks for sharing.
    :)

    Hi honey, I just wanted to tell you that there is a better way of life out there. I completely understand the eating disorders and how they feel. I have struggled with them for a very long time now, and still do occassionally. But after years of counseling I know that it is just a way to punish yourself and try to have control over something in your life.

    You are the only one who can change it and make yourself truly happy. You have that power and control over your own happiness, if nothing else. But try and learn how to be happy and accept yourself for who you are- God's beautiful creation. You are made in his image, so you are made pretty well. You only have one body, so maybe you could try to treat it better than people have treated you. Please take care. I have a diary here too and would like to hear from you from time to time on how you are doing. Be good, and take care. Heather
