It always seems to me that people are much better at adapting to different situations than I am. I've never been the most graceful in that department. I kind of just stumble through life; I trip and fall on every pebble and stone. But even though I'm still getting used to all these changes, I'm no longer surprised when a new curve ball is thrown at me. I'm getting more comfortable at being uncomfortable, which is what I believe is supposed to happen. Being comfortable means you stop growing and learning, so I like to think that I'm constantly learning something new. 

Every time I've worked on evenings she never wants to come out of her room. She came out in her wheelchair this one day, wearing only a shirt and a soaker pad to cover her bottom half and the brightest smile on her face.

While I take this time off from school, I know money's going to be tight for myself because I'm saving up for so much that I want to have in my life in the future and to lessen the load that my parents may have to help me out with. Although the route that I'm currently taking includes intensely back-breaking work, it's opening my eyes to a lot of things I'd understand, but not completely understand without fully experiencing it first hand. We see pictures on Facebook, Instagram, etc. about people going on vacations, getting luxury cars, and wearing expensive clothing but we never know the entire story behind it. We don't know whether that person has saved up for years for that vacation, or if they are going on vacation despite the fact that they can't pay off their credit card debt.
