so. finally broke down last night. unfortunatly, it was to the wrong person. him. damn it. I didn’t want to admit anything to him. I wanted him to think I was strong and okay with this. but I think anyone who even knows me a little should be able to easily see that I’m not. but.. it didn’t solve anything. if anything, it just made matters worse. he ended up coming over because he was worried about me. that didn’t help me. I don’t know.. I’m still a wreck. I guess I’ll just continue to pretend everything’s okay. on much happier note. krystal and I WON the incubus contest so I’m going to LA in about a month. which is beyond exciting. but I’m broke.. so it’s going to take a lot of planning and saving. but it will be totally worth it! eh. I don’t know. my emotions are all mixed right now. I’m going to bed. or at least trying.
