I miss my only best friend and comforter, she was the only one that understood me the most. I am very grateful for all the times we spent together. She taught me a lot about life, if not for her, I will be a girl with no direction. I still remember vividly the day we last saw each other. How we both became emotional as we knew that this was probably the last time we would see each other. It's funny how she made me make a promise to her that I wouldn't give up on my dreams no matter what. Well, I don't plan on giving up on my dreams but... It's hard, very hard I must say. Today is the beginning of a new month, March 1. My eighteenth birthday is in 24 days. I am supposed to be happy about it but I am not. I feel suffocated, I wish I could change my fate. I want to fulfill my dreams. I don't want to get married to Ronaldo Jone
