Happy New Year (Page 2 of 2)

Yeah, it's good for you cause you're a kid. Imagine being trapped in a place so hellish that you come home crying at least once a week, spend the most the rest of your time on the verge of tears, and that all the spark and life has left your eyes and you're like a robot that's constantly being kicked around for no other reason than that the one in charge hates you for no reason. And it's destroying you, psychologically and physically, cause both your shoulders (especially the left one) are in pain every day and you're back hurts as do your hips. And you can't go away from it because there's no where else to go because everywhere else is full, closing down, or cutting hours. And you can't go away anyway because you need the money it gives you so you can continue to have a place to sleep and food to eat. But even this doesn't bring you much money and you're scraping by on almost nothing anyway. And then things at home break and cost a lot of money to fix, or the car keeps dying a little bit here and there and it's all you can do to keep it running. So next time you see your mom or dad give them a hug and say thank you.

I had a nice quiet New Year at home with my GF, and some of our family, a couple of beers, a couple glasses of red wine and a sip of champagne (just to toast at midnight)... not too bad.

Happy New Year to all.
