I’m partly somebody else trying to fit in and say the right things and do the right thing and be in the right place and wear what everybody else is wearing.

I wouldn’t intentionally hurt anyone in this whole world. I wouldn’t hurt them physically or emotionally, how then can people so consistently do it to me?

Lying – remembering beauty in truth.

Beauty Lying Remember Truth
Nobody’s talking to me, but nobody’s hassling me either. I guess you can’t have everything.

I’m really cracking. No, I’m beyond cracking. I’m shattered. I’m lost. I’m fragmented.

Fragmented Lost Shattered
This morning when I left Mom’s parting words were, “Come straight home after school.” Wow! Like I’m going to get stoned at 3:30—it doesn’t sound so bad at that.

Home Mom Morning
Even my parents treat me like I’m stupid and inferior and ever short. I guess I’ll never measure up to anyone’s expectations. I surely don’t measure up to what I’d like to be.
BEATRICE SPARKS

Even Expectation Inferior Measure
They don’t think “I care,” “I hurt,” or “I have feelings.” It just seems like I’m always “wrong,” always “selfish,” always “self-centered” and everything else that’s negative and destructive.

Kids Thinking Voice
My biggest mistake: not wanting to help myself into thinking I am happy, that change would come about without really trying to change, or wanting to change. Procrastinating about changing. I do want to change.

Mistakes Thinking Trying
Why is life so difficult? Why can’t we be just ourselves and have everyone accept us the way we are?

Accepting Difficult Way
I’m not really sure which parts of myself are real and which parts are things I’ve gotten from books.

I would like to stay stoned all the time, it scares me it’s so good. I would like to stay stoned every minute of every day for the rest of my life.

I guess I’ll never measure up to anyone’s expectations. I surely don’t measure up to what I’d like to be.

Expectations Like Measure
Sometimes I think we’re all trying to be shadows of each other, trying to buy the same records and everything even if we don’t like them. Kids are like robots, off an assembly line, and I don’t want to be a robot!

Assembly Everything Record Robot Same Shadow
The complete bottom has fallen out of my life.
