Hi, I'm Samantha, and right now, I'm just trying to figure out how to deal with everything that's changing in my life. My mom and dad are split up, and I can't help but feel like everything's different now. Mom's so sad all the time, and I miss having dad around all the time. It's like nothing's the same anymore.
And then, as if that wasn't enough, dad finds a girlfriend and moves her into his new house. I only get a little time with him, and now I have to share that with her. It feels like everything's being divided up, and I don't know how to handle it.
But then, mom starts dating too. She gets serious with a guy who has kids, and now I have to deal with his two boys. They're loud and annoying, and I just don't know where I fit in anymore. I want things to go back to how they were - just me, mom, and dad. But it seems like every time I start adjusting, something else changes, and it just keeps piling on.
The one place I can escape to is school. It's where I feel normal, like everything's okay, but even that feels like it's at risk now. With all these changes happening, I'm struggling to keep up. I just need to figure it out before I lose it.
I'm trying to learn how to deal with everything, but it's all happening so fast. I really wish things could slow down a little, just so I can catch my breath and start accepting all the changes that are coming my way.
