I want to build a house for my mom

Entry 1: 7/26/2021

When I am older and make more money I want to build a house for my mom. I want her to be able to rest and enjoy herself. I want it to be in a place that is not hot and not cold but in between. A place that has a beach and is near some of her family members so that she does not feel alone. I want her not to work because it is my turn to work for her and help her live her life.  The house will have a garden and a farm because she always talks about how she wants a farm with goats, sheep, horses, and chickens. The garden will grow all kinds of fruits and vegetables. The house will not have stairs because she doesn’t like it. It will only have 1 staircase for the upstairs bedrooms. It will have color because I like color. I will paint the floors blue and the walls red and purple because these are my favorite colors. The house will have a garage for my cars and if the family comes to visit they will park there. There will be a swing in the garden for the smaller children. It is my dream because she has done so much for me and I want to repay her for all those years she took care of me.

I like to draw dresses and places. When I get older I want to be able to have my own clothing line or shop. I like ball gowns and dresses but I will make all kinds of dresses. The ball gowns will have many colors and they will get puffier when the wind hits them. The shirts will be crop tops and made for dresses without sleeves. I want to own the store and have people work for me. The store will be located near the city so that people can travel to it but not on the busy side of the city because it is too loud. The store will have two floors for men and women. The clothes will not be expensive because I don’t believe inexpensive clothes. It will have a red front cause that’s my favorite color but the inside will be neon green, blue, and purple. The store will be welcoming and make people feel like they are home. I will have a coffee shop next to it or in it so that they can sit and drink/eat while shopping. I know from experience that shopping is tiring and makes you feel like you wanna drop down to the floor.

I wish that sometimes I could be someone else because people don’t know me. I don’t want to be smart and be the leader. I don’t want to be a role model for students. I don’t want to get made fun of. I don’t want to be the person the teacher calls on all the time. I don’t want to miss being perfect. I don’t want to be the center of attention all the time. I don’t want to be depressed. I don’t want to be at a low point in my life. I don’t want to forget things all the time. I don’t want to be the girl who speaks up because she can’t keep her mouth shut. I don’t want to have a big heart and I don’t want to be sensitive.  All these things I don’t want to happen. But yet it still happens because I can not control who I am. When you learn not to try and control yourself you see life differently. You are perfect the way you are and if you believe that then you will make progress. Don’t try to fit in and not be yourself. Live your life to the fullest. Be proud of who you are.

We all thought that summer was gonna be bad. My summer is not bad. I am working in Teens in Print and I am learning while having fun. I am learning how to come out of my shell and be more confident and be myself. I am also supporting my friends who have summer school. I can not wait until school opens up so that I can see my friends and have even more fun. I am training to get my permit and finally learn how to drive. I am also teaching myself how to code because I think it is interesting. I am trying to be more fashionable and get more jewelry and learn to like them. I am also trying to turn my closet into my dream closet full of colorful clothes. I am learning how to do karate. I am also learning how to sew so that way I can make my clothes. I wanna dye my hair half red because it is my dream. I am learning to love myself for who I am. So yea I would say I am glad that we are stuck inside because that gave me time to focus on what I like. My summer is going amazing so far.
