It's becoming very clear that something has got to change. I am violently angry. I feel so stifled and confined. My family makes the feelings more intense.

I went to the mall with my mother to escape my brother and father. I went for mindless consumerism to fill the ever increasing void inside my life.

I can relate to the short story we're reading in English. It' s amazing how much I can relate. I nearly started crying in class today.

I want to cry a lot lately. I miss my family. I miss them so much that I don't like to think of them because my throat tightens and my eye balls get warm and I think how horrible it is that it's been two years since I've seen most of them.
