Sins of the Ocean

     How do you truly know when it's time to start over? What route do you take to make that happen? Who all do you include in your future? These are the questions that I ask myself on a daily basis. 

    For as long as I can remember I've always felt out of place, not an outcast perse but also not someone who is constantly noticed. With the total amount of people in the world I could understand not being seen because lets face it everyone can't be a shining star, but to feel like you don't belong within your own family is a little draining. At first it was painful to be the outcast of my family, but growing up I quickly learned to embrace it and just take things as they are. On the bright side I was never included in the day to day drama that happened in my house but I guess being an only child also put a limit on the amount of drama that was in our house.

   The first year out of high school was so exciting, I was proud that I had graduated and could get started with the next part of my life, little did I know the turmoil that would come along with trying to move on from past hurt. I'm renting a nice little studio apartment in the downtown area. I've been working and saving all of my money since I was fourteen years old, once i turned eighteen I opened up a back account and placed my money in there. This is that I have been waiting for, the moment when I can walk into my own place and not have to be bothered by a single soul.
