| | Some Times People Do Change
Once upon a time, about four years back, I know a guy that told me people never changed. So taken was I with this guy I believed his cynical words. I will say that the vast majority of people are simply who they are, however I now know that there are people who change.
After I left Brody, he got off his butt, got into AA meetings, started going to his counseling sessions, landed a job that pays $10 an hour and that he can do during school, and signed up for classes and paid for them. He uninstalled WOW from his computer and gave away the disks. He packed lunches for us for a week and on my hour we picnicked in his car.
And the most interesting thing is, he likes the changes he's made. He's happier. We're happier.
I was hesitant about letting people know we're trying to work it out, but I have since decided that I don't need anyone's approval, and I don't care about what other people think.
In all honesty it's rather liberating not to worry about it. Since my parents have gone insane, blown through all of their money and credit, and left me with a debit I can't pay, I'm of the opinion they can sod off and never tell me what a fuck up I am or make a comment on my relationships again.
That brings me to something rather important. I'm not going back to school this fall. I'll go back to school once I have paid off the 3k I owe the University in back tuition my parents have sworn to me all summer that they would pay. Had they just old me the truth, I would have payed it off my self, or applied for a loan sooner. But no. The loan I applied for I didn't get because I have no credit at all, and my parent's credit is screwed over completely.
So here's my plan: Make payments until my tuition is payed on by my parents, or until I've payed it off myself. Then: I'll either wait until I am married or 25 to go back. I'm 22 now. That's not so bad, and hell it may take me that long to pay everything off.
I'm waiting to see if Brody really will go to class this semester without me. If he doesn't, it's over and I'll never think twice about blocking his number and pushing him from my life. Is he does, we're talking about a small wedding in December. That may sound cold, but I don't have to explain it. It's simple: He'll break my heart and all the belief I ever had in him if he screws this up.
So off I go to get ready for work. Joy.
