Birthday Wishes
I've enjoyed many birthdays so far. Not just my own of course, but perhaps too many of my own. Growing old may be a pleasant, even welcome, transformation for some, but I have not yet reached that level of beatitude. Still, I am developing a new enjoyment for birthdays, especially those of my son and his friends. Watching the young ones cavort, while recalling my own joy at birthday parties as a child, gives me a new kind of bliss in the present. I feel a gladness in my heart knowing that lovely memories are forming around ecstatic experiences.

My story
My name is Alannah Wilson; I was born in Rhode Island. I was raised by my mother till 2011 when my amazing father in law stepped into my life and became the dad I’ve never had. In 2016, my mom, dad, sisters, and brother have moved to Michigan where our life’s have turned around for good! It was very hard at first, my family was still in Rhode Island but we knew we had to do this for us. In November of 2021 at the age of 16 I found out I was pregnant. I was so scared to tell my boyfriend and my parents and his. But that same night I found out I called my best friend who I just dropped off back at her house. I was crying my eyes out and so scared that my parents would have lost trust in me. I thought they’d think I failed in life. I knew I had to tell my boyfriend the same day so I was driving to his house crying still with the tests in my car. I walked in his house and I had to show him. We were both so scared and had to tell his mom but before we did that we had to buy another test to make sure. They both came back positive and so clear. His mom was upset at first and explained what we had to do. That night I went home still freaking out. I walk in and my mom is laying there sleeping I knew I had to wake her up and show her. She was the most supportive person I could have asked for. There are some family members that were so disappointed in me but I knew they would come around.. I am now 17 year olds, and found out I’m having a baby boy due July 26th, 2022. It’s been a roller coaster physicallay and emotionally these past months. Our family is super supportive of us now and have helped us tremendously. These past 2 months have been hard for us, we are currently not together anymore and it’s so hard to go through this alone im so scared. I tried and tried to have us work out but in the long run I feel as if it isn’t worth it. I wanted my son to grow up with that father figure in his life because I never did until I was older. We are currently not speaking and im so Lost because it is now July 7th, 2022 and I have 19 more days to go. I don’t think I have ever felt so alone in something so big and something so special. Yes I have our family’s there for me but I felt as if I needed him more than ever to help me. But I have to stay strong for not just myself anymore but for my son who is almost arriving into this world. I’m scared though because This world has changed so much since I have grown up. I’m scared to walk out of my own house and go out by myself because I have had multiple scares in the past with everything you could imagine. I want what’s best for my son and I will and always will promise to do everything to keep him safe and to make sure he knows he’s gonna make it in life and I will be there every step of the way. That is my story for today I felt as if this might help get some relief off my chest that has just been hurting and so lost.

I want a challenge
I was always told that there could be two schools on a street. One could be a private school, with well behaved kids and it paid really well. The other one would have the worst behaved kids and horrible pay. I would choose to go to go to the second school.

The Child Within
I've always had a complicated relationship with my father. When I was quite young, he used to play chess with me in the evenings sometimes, and I would cry when he would somehow always beat me ruthlessly, even when I thought I'd won myself some small advantage. Then, there was a certain point where it felt that he just gave up on me, and no longer had any time for me - he was too busy for me, that's all I knew. The worst thing was, I had three siblings, and he still seemed to have plenty of time for them... so maybe there was something wrong with me? As I grew older, I registered on some level his lack of interest in me, but I didn't really consciously recognize it for what it was, much less understand how I felt about it or the impact those feelings would have on my life.
