About Me

South Fulton, TN, United States
I'm in my later 20s and I'm really not sure where my life is headed right now. I have my teaching degree and am currently teaching middle school. I am unmarried and have no children and I am okay with that. I do want these things in the future but my time for those kinds of responsibilities is not here yet. I love life! There is beauty all around us, in everything and everyone - you just have to open yourself up enough to see it!

Brother

My mom, step-dad, and I are going to visit my brother tomorrow. I am very excited but a little nervous too. My brother is in LaGrange, KY in jail. Well, technically right now he is in the mental hospital area of the jail for 30 days to be evaluated. I'm excited to see him because its been so long, but I'm nervous to see him in that kind of environment. I think the majority of the time I prefer to think of him as just being away somewhere as opposed to thinking that he is in jail. I love my brother, don't get my wrong, but sometimes I get so angry at him. He has put my family through so much. My mom has stressed more than her fair share over him. I don't think I can remember a time when he wasn't causing some form of stress. Now they think that he may have some mental problems. It would explain a lot if he did. I just want him home though. But when he is home he causes more stress than when he is away somewhere, even if it is jail. I guess what I want is him home, but without the problems, but who knows if that will ever be possible. He is a good man. He has a heart that, in a sense, is still innocent and very fragile. I worry about him. I want him to have a life. I want him to be happy and to find love. He doesn't believe in himself though. How can anyone have those things if they don't even believe in themselves. How can anyone else believe in them when they don't believe in themselves. I pray about him all the time. I pray that God will carry him through the difficult times and watch over and protect him. I don't know what else I can do for him other than pray. I guess, if you are ready this you could say a prayer for him too. He can use all the prayers he can get! Thanks!
