Today
Today I felt pleasure and joy. I felt the sun on my face and my dead hurts less. I'm in class and all I want to do is go in the sun again. The opportunity to not be in agony pain or something. I'm dizzy and nautious. This room makes my head hurt and the lights in the hall. the smell of my room aat home and the air in Mike's car. I got a massage today which relieved some tension. I felt bad because it cost $50 bucks of which I don't have. I slept outside for 5 minutes before slass because the sun was nice. The breeze was blosing but my stomache still hurt. The massage was nice. I need some money- thats whats going on in my head - to get a massage and feel good. Got to go.
