"my mom told me that i had missed the reading of my grandmother's will. she said grandma left me money. a lot of it.
my mother also told me i should use said money to go back to college. i asked her why. even if i had a college degree, ive got scars and habits and issues. i could never hold down a real job.
she said that since im getting better, i should at least put the money into a savings account, and then i could go back to school once ive 'conquered my addictions and have had time to defeat my demons.'
but why would i defeat my demons? they are a part of me. if anything, ill just be at peace with them. common-ground.
anyway, i told her i would think about it. and i have. i think it might be a good decision. i mean, it would bring me a step closer to getting my life together.
that reminds me, ive only had four jolly ranchers today."
