I've tried. I really have.

I've tried to work on my self this past year. And change...LOTS of things. I've tried to think different. I've tried to suck it up. I've tried medication. I've tried to meet new people. I've tried to change the way I think, feel, do things. And, it helped. It really did. I worked hard...and it paid off. However, it's getting harder and harder to keep up with. I'm not sure I can work on the inner and outer me at the same time. No. That's not it, either. Some how I've lost my momentum. Again. Just like when I got really sick, and lost my momentum in life...school, work, relationships. I get on these kicks...and they can last a LONG time. Like school...I made it all 4 years. But lost my momentum in the end, and ruined my 3.8 GPA. It was a kick. I've lost the battle with lots of "kicks". I suck at life. Even though I try. Really hard. And, this could all probably just be chalked up as the normal trial and tribulations of life. But that's not it, either.

I don't know exactly what's going on, but over the last couple of weeks, my mental and emotional stability...that I had worked on...and gained...has slowly deteriorated. And I wonder...was I just pretending to be fine? Have I really thought I was working on things and getting better, but really, I was just ignoring and avoiding...just like my old, normal self/ Probably.

I'm aching. Life sucks. I suck at life. And I can't change it...no matter how hard I try. I still end up in the same place...with the same conclusions. And there's nothing anyone can say or do to make it better....well, there is...but that's a longshot.

As the girl from Ireland said about my SUPER drunken Saturday night last weekend, "She was lost." Yes, I was. And, yes, I am. I don't have it figured out anymore than the next person. I think I'm doing good, and then I stumble. But "stumbling" for me is more like a huge splash into the San Antonio River...or like missing the toilet in a public bathroom, and falling on my ass.

How can I deny this anymore? I can't. I'm tired of pretending just to appease and just to be strong. I am a very strong woman, but I can only do it alone for so long. I'm missing something. Something big! I've noticed the last few times I've gone out that everyone else has their "partner". Whether it's a husband, boyfriend, or just a friend. I don't have that partnership. At all. I come close to it when my sister goes out with me, but most of the time, I'm kind of on my own. And, I've been alone for too long. Maybe my whole life. I have tons of people around...and tons of people who love me...but in the end, we're all alone, right? Unless you'r lucky to have found your partner. I thought I had...a few times...but, it's still something that completely eludes me.

I should just stay away from this thing when I'm in this mood. I might be completely better tomorrow. Although, with the way things are going, I'm not sure they will. Somehow I've lost that momentum, and I contiue to deteriorate, and have no one to spill my guts and my heart to. I can't say what I really feel. It would just be perceived as wrong, stupid, or disgusting. And yea, on the surface, I would have to agree. But deep down...I've always known what's best for me.

Maybe if I had had some biscuits and gravy tonight, I wouldn't be here, yet again, spilling part of my guts and heart out on another stupid website. I'm just another sad, rambling freak on the internet.

This post makes me very sad and scared for you. You sound so in dispair.
Are you okay? I'm sorry to hear you so sad...

Elizabeth: You are not sad and pathetic. Did you ever think that maybe you're going through an early mid-life crisis? It sounds silly, but I felt like this when I turned 25. When I got to 30, it was like nothing. Wonder what 40 will be like. In my opinion, I get better with every passing year.

I'm feeling a lot like you are right now as a result of losing my mom. My life is so surreal right now. It's almost like it's a dream that I'm waiting to wake up from, only my mom will be the one to tell me I overslept and need to make the two hour drive back to my place after visiting her.

God how I wish that were true!!!

All Iced In

In case anyone has been watching the weather for the whole country...you will know that here in sunny San Antonio, we have been having some very out of the ordinary weather. We got iced in for the last two days. Not snowed in...It's all ice. Snow to the north, but all we got was freezing rain. I was cracking ice off my car with a wooden flip-flop keychain, seeing as how I don't own an ice chipper or whatever you call them, because this isn't usually a problem. Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Last one for tonight, I PROMISE!!!

It's official...I've finally decided what it is...I think the background for my posts is too dark. I don't like the way pictures show up on it...I love the whole ocean/beach theme thing because it really fits me, but I think I need something sunny, brighter...I love the picture with the mermaid because it's all bright and stuff, and so is the sidebar, but the dark, navy-ish blue just isn't doing it for me. I don't like the way my posts "look"...I think it reminds me too much of my teenage angst years, when at 14 or 15 I turned everything in my room into navy blue, and put up the darkest navy blue curtains...close enough to being black, it looked like I lived in a tomb, and I couldn't stand it after awhile...It actually contributed to my depression. That's why now, I don't even have curtains...I would much rather have the morning sun come blaring through my windows...That's what I need here...I've figured it out...
