So this week I got a pair of really nice shoes. I absolutely love them. This is the first pair of name brand shoes I have ever had (There Nike's) I didn't ask for them which is my big thing. My dad just asked me if I needed new sneakers (I did) and I told him yes. I wear shoes until they are literally falling apart. My old sneakers were. So we went out to omega sports and got a pair.
I don't like asking my dad or mom or anyone for a matter of fact for money. I don't ask for a new sweatshirt or dress. But my parents will ask, "Cameron, would you like a new jacket?" I don't have a problem with saying yes to that. But I wont ask. My dad spent $80 on these shoes, but they will last me an incredibly long time. My sister has a problem with this. She asks for money all the time to do this and that and get the newest fad. So she decides I am going to annoy everyone and blame my sister for all my problems. I feel like she doesn't appreciate what our parents do for us. She thinks they are an endless supply of money, which they are not. I pay attention and I see how my dad has to go with out things and tell us no. I am fine with that, I don't have a problem with being told I cant do something because it hurts the family. However my sister sees it that she can do anything and thell just pay for it. I don't get everything I want, but I understand why.
My dad has worked his butt off to provide us with what we need. Wants are a different story. My dad gets necessities and he makes sure no matter what we have food and clothes and a place to live. It may not be what I want to eat, it may not be the most expensive clothes or the prettiest, I may not live in the biggest house, but its not the smallest. I love my parents, I love my brother and sisters. I love my friends. I don't love knowing that I cant do anything to change my families situation. I know I have everything I need. I know I have people who love me, that's what gets me through. And of course I have this blog.
Stress can cause asthma attacks. I manage. I ran a half mile today, no stopping. This is something I have wanted to accomplish forever. I had physical therapy today. That was pretty cool. I wrote a letter to an old friend. I made sure I told him how much I love him and miss him. This isn't going anywhere don't worry. He's like a brother. I really miss him though. We grew up together and we used to do everything together. I got a new inhaler, they added an allergy medication too. Were hoping that this has some effect on me. I hope it does.
