Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay

so i'm getting to the point where i need to just stop telling tom anything. I need to stop calling him and i need to stop talking to him like he's my best friend and i can tell him anything. let's all be honest, no one wants to know everything and i need to just learn how to practice a little discression everyonce in a while.
it wouldn't be so bad but what i think about him and us and myself even changes so rapidly, one day i'm totally sure that i'm going to marry him and never look back, and the next i can't believe what i've gotten myself into and i get mad at him for stupid things and it just isn't fair to make him and myself thrown into emotional chaos for just some whim that i'm feeling at any given point.
i'm at this crossroads - i can feel it. everything in my life is changing. everything. the people i hang out with, the things that i do, the clothes that i wear. and work is even more important than school now... i only have a 3.5 - i was shocked to find that out! I've never had a gpa so low in all my life. not that it really matters. My dreams of going somewhere better after this are long gone. In fact, PD is mushrooming into this unbeleavable coorporation, we've tripled since i started working there in March. We're moving to bigger offices, i mean, this thing is huge. I'll probably end up just staying within PD and writing for them. Renee was proofing some of my papers for school, and she was genuinely impressed.... anyway, and all of that changes too, becuase we won't be a part of the church anymore. so i probalby won't go to seminary either. i'll just be there. and it will be good, i guess, i don't know.
i have to pay for tuition and we missed the deadline for uship waivers so i have to pay for that too, and then i have to pay for paris and i spent almost $100 at the Spectrum on Friday and now i feel guilty about that too.

why can't my life ever be simple?
