Boy! Am I sleepy!
I have a 5-minute presentation to write for my Saturday class but I just cannot bring myself to do it! This is horrible. I would SO much rather be going to sleep right now.
I'm really down about my cousin Grace. She's only a month younger than me and we grew up like sisters but she suffers from mental illness so she's living life as a homeless person for the most part. It breaks my heart.
So many people in my family are mad at her 'cause they consider her situation to be a result of decisions she's made. I think of it as she suffered a lot of trauma watching her father abuse her mother and also her mother (my aunt) ain't got it all herself so she is a product of her environment. I mean, I was there when her father was beating her mother's ass and being a terrible alcoholic but it just didn't affect me the same. Then again, I wasn't watching my father beat my mother....
I just wish she would accept help but she won't. The family has tried Ba.ker acting her but it never works out right...
I just keep praying for her healing. It just makes me so sad when I see a homeless person who is most likely homeless because of a mental problem just like my Gracie. :(
Damn this shit is tearing my heart up.
*sigh*
So yeah, let me get my lazy ass up and do this damn presentation. It's the LEAST I can do with what is on my mind.
