So I guess thats why I became the way I have been. I know I was wrong but, Do I deserve all the blame? Maybe this seem childish for me to say at this time, but I dont thinks so. I may be wrong but, I think that you and I looked for many of the same things in life. I cant explain why I think this way but I do. Also I think both of us have missed many of these things. If this is true I really know how much you have suffered. I know when I was small I did some things that made you proud. As easy as [guess: if] everything was for me I'm sure if things would have went right you would be the proudest mother alive. So I guess we cheated you out of many years. I dont wish to cheat you out of anymore. This first half of life has been full of mistakes. Maybe though enough [guess: profit] has been gained to make the next half that much better. I will try to gain from now on all that I have missed. I have no doubt that this will be accomplished. [guess: Ofcourse] I cant undo all the suffering I have caused. I wish there was some way I could. If there was I would do it. You know ever since I was pretty small I was unhappy. Did I seem like that to you? You remember how much I went up into The Bluffs alone? or didn't you know that I went alone? I did because I wanted to be alone. I never seemed to be able to put across how I really felt. So I gave up trying. I told people what they wanted to hear, even when I didn't mean it. Thats how things got so mixed up for me.
