It's 3 in the morning, and I just needed to rant. I woke up about an hour ago, same old shit again. I hate waking up in the middle of the night. Sometimes, the past just won't leave me alone. My sister said she heard me mumbling and stuff, but I wasn't even on the phone. I had fallen asleep only about an hour ago or so...
I guess today was very hectic, I felt so shitty and tired by the end of it. I just kept going through my mind, everything and how I've got through everything and where I stand in my life right now. So many people came over today and I just wanted to be left alone, but what I've learned is that you never really get what you want in life, really, I just didn't want to be around so many people, I'm so not used to having people care about me too, or give me attention.
It's like every Christmas, or any other day in my "previous" life, where I would sit in bed, all alone, feeling ignored and wanting to be surrounded by the laughter and smiles of warm and friendly people. But I had all my dreams come true this year, I'm in love with someone amazing and he means the world to me. I live with a family that has grown to love me and protect me from this cruel and unjust world. I've also made friends who matter in my life, that no matter where they are, I know they would come to rescue me if need be.
Maybe I find it hard to believe or something? But then again, it's like what Judy pretty much said...I've lived about four different lives in this past few months, going through a whole lot on my own without asking for anyone's help. Yeah, I was forced to be helped, but even so, the effort it took me to get through things, I don't know if anyone would ever be able to understand. Because where I stand right now, I feel like I've gained a lot and lost a lot at the same time.
Maybe I am a really shitty person for not being able to appreciate the things I have in life. Why do I still feel so depressed? Why do I still feel like everything is about to fall apart before my very own eyes...? Why can't I believe like I used to when I was a little girl? That everything will be okay some day? Despite all my efforts to make everyone happy around me, I can't seem to make myself any happier. I can only enjoy the moment and never hold on to it because I'm always afraid if I hold on too tightly to it, then it will slip away from me, like holding the sand in the beach?
The tighter you grip the fistful of sand, the quicker it slips and pours out before you know it. But even when you hold it with both hands, the wind will blow it all away or someone will knock it out of your hand. It still feels like I'm holding on to sand...I just don't know why though...
Afraid Nora will kick me out, afraid I won't be able to go to college, afraid my parents will get in the way of my happiness, or try to control my life, or that the one person I love right now would leave me, or that I won't find a job and be forever broke, or that my depression will get the best of me and I'll want to kill myself again. I mean last night I had a nightmare and tonight I woke up again and it's killing me, sitting here wondering, why I can't go to sleep just like everyone else...?
I can't even take the sleeping pill lately because I've been waking up early to wake my boyfriend up for work, and that doesn't bother me at all, just kills me that I can't go to sleep when I want to, when I physically want to, and I know what nora's gona say, that I'm still depressed and that I need to see that doctor next week, but its killing me here. Just feels like nothing ever goes right in my life? or am i just overly exaggerating?
I mean...its Christmas eve, I couldn't even enjoy it? It's the first time in years where everyones been nice to me and no shitty people are around to treat me any worse, so I do feel like somethings not right? As if I'm waiting for someone to walk up to me and hit me again? Or blame me for ruining the holidays? Or tell me that I can never do anything right? Maybe that's just it..just waiting around for someone to act like parents, to tell me to get lost, that they don't want to see my face, that I'm just being a burden to them and if they get mad enough, they'll say horrible things again and beat me up for it.
Just knowing that Nora won't do that to me, or the kids, despite what I feel, I know they won't, but the fear just never goes away in my mind, I can still feel the pain and I want to erase it, you know? I want to be sleeping, heck, tomorrows a long day and I know I could use it but I can't seem to fall asleep right now. Just wish I could but there's no way, there's no one to talk to or anything to do. I just hate this feeling and I want it to go away so bad,
Fuck it man, I'm really really tired. I was even stupid enough earlier to try some wine bceause my sister insisted I should, I thought what the hell, whats the worst that could happen right/ n i really did feel like shit, worse than tired, afterwards, maybe thats what triggered the memories, the smell of alcohol on my dad's breath, the words that would come out of that disgusting ododr, just lingered in my memory, i was only takin sips of wine but i wanted to throw up i felt so awful and all i could think about was why did my mom n dad do this to me? leave me alone for christmas, like seriously? i tried calling my mom last, n i still havent heard from her since that time she called to say she couldnt find my birth certificate n i understand shes going thru shit, i dont blame them but
where does that leave me? when ur own parents dont even care? how can u look to everyone else n trust them not to treat you the same way? man, man i just hate this, they are not worth this trouble n i know better, i know i shouldnt be thinking like this but im not sitting and allowing it, just the feeling wont go away, i just want to cry so bad right now, wish i could wake nora up and tell her, ive been wanting to tell her things lately, wishing at least that i would have some parental or elderly figure to rely on and man does that sound shitty? i cant help the tears right now, because i just want my mom and i know she wont be here for me, she never was and she never will be, no matter how many times i sit here n cry or tell her i want to talk to her , she wont get it, shell always blame me for whats happened and tell me its my fault things are so messed up...
theres so many things i wish i could do right now, as i sit here crying, i just know that im tired and i want to sleep and i know il feel better later today when i wake up n see the kids, or when i get to talk to my boyfriend, or when im sittin around eveyrone openin presensts, i know il be ok but i know this feelin wont go away, it will always linger and i just want it to go away n never bother me again...why is it that i cant forget, i remember all the bad stuff and never the good ones? its like i tap into my memeory tryna think of good things positive things about my memories with my family n there are none...something or the other awlays led to another fight, another accusation, another insult after injury, another me being hurt, phscially, verbally, emotionally. it never ends.
i just want the pain to stop. i want it to go away. maybe i shud call my therapist up and tell her about this, maybe she can help me better. she would know what to do, because hoenstly, i dont anymore. i really dont.
