Hello out there! Let me whisper my feelings into this tiny room:
I want to not feel like not dying. Which always sounds super dramatic. I don't feel like this all the time just when I start to feel like I'm failing or that I don't deserve something. It's self sabotage and I want to stop feeling like this. I think I did well yesterday when I felt completely and utterly terrible but it felt great to hang out with my friend ( Panda) and get out. Be in the sunshine and near something like the ocean. That also seems to be in a state of chaos some days but ok other days. If the ocean can be that way maybe I can as well? I need to learn how to ride that chaos and do things that make me happy. Not just exacerbate my sadness like being stuck on an endless digital drip.
I am 27 years old and I need to not be so hard on myself. We are always learning and growing as adults. No one has it perfectly together and rarely individuals feel happy all the time. The time I felt the happiest I was also struggling so bad financially. It's a se saw <--- most likely not how it's spelled.
What caused my small meltdown? My high school paramour's youngest sister. Her name is Aubrey and she is 15 now! I have no idea why this fucked with me so hard. I think it was because she still held so many tender memories and feelings for me and I could not compute. Literally- I had a wave of negative thoughts and shame. Sheer shame because I felt that I was this terrible human being who ripped her brother's heart out and stomped on it.
But Panda was right- I have changed and acknowledge that was terrible and that is progress. The small things are progress and if I could redo that whole thing I would end it earlier when I lost the love. And that is important to recognize. I am worthy of love. I am capable of change. I am worthy of love.
