My name is Diana. I'm 16 years old and my life sucks. I have a daughter named Patience and we live with my lame boyfriend Darius in an apartment his mom pay for. Darius and I have been together for 2 years. He is a senior and I'm a junior.

It seems like yesterday, Darius and I was deeply in love and now, we barely say 2 words to each other. He is either working or at school and I'm either taking care of Patience or out with my friends. Yes, out with my friends. I'm not going to let Patience nor Darius get in the way of me having a good time. School? How with a needy baby like Patience? I show up to school every blue moon to see how low my F dropped.

I moved to Miami to live with my grandma 5 years ago from New Orleans when my mom passed. My mom died from a drug overdose. She was a crack head who didn't give a damn about me. I don't even cry about my mom being dead. People say I'm cold hearted because I don't miss my mom. My own mother. Shit, you can't miss what you never had. 

My grandma and I always argue. I've always been a wild teen. I never told my granny I was pregnant. She found out when I started showing. She used to say shit like "You just don't know whats in store for you!" I used to tell her to mind her damn business. She always told me "It's going to take time and patience for you to get your mind right."
