“It’s awful being a grown-up, but the carousel never stops turning. You can never get off..” –Ellis Grey, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’-
Today I made a decision that I thought was for the best. I took my own happiness into consideration above all else, & I really thought it would be the right thing for me.
My mom calls me at 10:00 and again at 10:20, leaving these cryptic messages that just say “call me.” When I call her back, she’s furious with me, saying I’m my own worst enemy & basically that I’m making this awful decision & throwing the money card into the game…
The phone call ended with me saying, “Screw you, Mom,” and her hanging up on me. I proceeded to cry until I peeled myself off my bed to write this entry.
I can’t feel bad. I did what I needed to do. I’m not unhappy with what I did because I was too unhappy with what I was doing. Right? Right, right… Elise & Dave & I, all we do, every day, is tell each other we’re miserable & contemplate how we can figure things out.
I don’t want to be miserable. I made the right choice. I did...like children, we never give up hope

Wow, Kate. What happened? Whatever it was I'm sure you made a good choice...love you.
You know yourself best.
you did make the right choice.. and your mother might not be, but i am so proud of you for it. i could have never done what you did. you were brave and strong, and you did what you needed to do for you, and sometimes that's just the best thing.
I hope everything's ok...
What did you decide?
