Lately, I have placed huge restrictions on what I write here. There are several reasons. I guess because I now realize that people are reading what I am writing and I feel the need to live up to some sort of standard. The point is that during this really stressful and emotional time for me I haven't had this outlet. I am bottling things up for whatever reason... I shouldn't think too much about that aspect of it. It inhibits the natural flow of how I write and what I write about. However self-pitying and stupid it all may seem to whom ever may read it, tough.
I am feeling particularly awful right now. This wasn't the day it was supposed to be. I wasn't the me I should have been. The really awful part of it is that I can't go back and do it all over the right way and erase anything I said or did wrong. I can't take back the hurt I wished like hell I hadn't caused. I can't change the hatred anyone felt for me today or any day for that matter.
Some days I just wish I could try my life all over again to see if I can at least get something about myself right the next time around. Some days I just want to go live in the woods. Most days I just want to feel like I do not fuck up everything I do.
I cannot even begin to describe the pure exhaustion and temptation I have been experiencing to just randomly crawl into bed and sleep through everything I feel my brain cannot handle, all of the conflict, and all of the things I feel I have no personal control over. Then the constant insomnia and worrying and a feeling of mourning and failure that I am fighting in the silent hours of laying in bed listening to the sounds of my house at night. It is then that every disappointment I am,everything I am not, every shortcoming, every horrible feeling overwhlems me. I am so tired. I am so sorry.
