I am really at that point in my life where I feel like I've given everything I've got and I've tried so hard and nothing is coming out of any of these efforts.... Right now, I'm laying in a bed at a hotel in Los Angeles, and to be honest, I feel so lonely and terrible.... I really just want someone to be here and hold me to let me know everything will be okay...and I'm going to interview at a college that my mother wants me to go to.... I think about it and I never thought my life would turn out to be anything like this.... I never really had any idea how it would turn out....but I at least expected to be happy.

Of course, saying or thinking of things like that brings me to a question and answer I was given a long time ago. Someone asked me what I wanted from life and my answer was, "to be happy." And that someone's reply: "That is the most selfish answer I have ever heard."

Just a little of what I needed to get off my mind...
