It will until next Saturday that I'll be living in my new home.
I went to visit and the apartments were hidden behind a street of Asian and Hispanic stores.
The apartments were strange and creepy from the outside. Men staring at you like a piece of meat.
We all felt a bit uncomfortable.
The apartment was in the second floor which made me happy because it means
there might be a balcony.
We soon met the lady as she answered the door for us.
I felt bad knowing that she
had been talking to her daughter who lives in Mexico.
We entered and it was cute with a nice homey feeling.
She was sweet and nice. She talked a lot.
She had a love for small miniature things and she did a lot of tiny drawings.
I'd wondered if I should have brought mine.
I had left my artwork with my friend, Drake a couple of days before.
The room that we were staying in, all four of us, was very small.
She then gave us all a hug. I didn't feel anything. No warmth nothing.
As she released us we headed towards the balcony.
I realized the apartments were a bright pink.
I looked down and saw kids running and a cute garden.
This place wasn't so bad after all.
I felt a warmth in my heart. A nostalgic feeling.
This was like my childhood.
Living with other people,
struggling and reaching for our futures.
I wondered what
those kids life would be when they grew older.
Would they give up by the time they are in middle school like me?
Or would they succeed and become something great.
I know I cry everyday at night. But Last night I began to cry sooner
than I had hoped for.
I quickly ran into my room and locked myself for the rest
of the night.
I thought I had calmed down so I headed to the kitchen for a snack
and picked up my moms cell phone instead. I called my love.
I began to cry again and I felt horrible. We tried to talk and finally he made a sigh.
I hung up and texted him instead.
I texted my two friends and my love for the night until twelve pm.
The time couldn't of gone any slower.
It's nice knowing that people try even though no matter what you do
you always end up being sad in the end just knowing that someone is there
for you brings me a ray of hope in my heart.
