Disintegrating Me
Well blog it’s been quite a while, I bet you barely recognize me anymore. However, I predict we’ll be getting real friendly again real soon… Cos it’s no longer a question of why, but how. And when.
Read about TJ’s engagement today. While I’m happy for her & Phil, can’t lie it brought me some stabs of sadness. Cos see, I always felt this kinship with TJ… She’s like my brotha from anotha motha ya nah mean? In that queer Internet-lurker way, I felt really close to her, like she’s me in an alternate dimension with the same age, same bad habits, same likes & dislikes, etc. But now it kinda feels like… damn my twinnie made the most awesome choices in life & she’s reaping the shiny rewards: great guy, happy relationship, big dog!, great move, stay-at-home job goddammit, happy life. And I… made some that… are making me… miserable. Cos I am indeed miserable, and lonely, and feel like a failure, and reading about TJ’s happiness with Phil makes me teary for the wrongest & most self-pitying reasons. I am glad for them though, and in the end it motivates me to get my stupid life back on track.
I have to say goodbye to Biggie. I have to. It has been, all told, the most unhealthiest relationship of my life. Going in, I was somewhat proud and confident of myself as a smart, easy-going, uncommonly cool girl… Coming out, I’m insecure as shit, prematurely aged, soul-jaded, smoking like a chimney, swearing like a sailor, and I feel dirty & cheap & stupid & mentally unbalanced. Like I’m hanging by a thread. Talking to my old friends once in a while, I feel this pretense going up that was never there before… *act happy & breezy, smile, laugh, crack a joke, tease, good job now calm the fuck down please just be quiet*. Who is this person? I don’t know who I am anymore. Some fake bitch who’s gonna grow up to be a desperate housewife. No, I really need to get out of here.

Sounds like you really need to talk to someone. Do you have a friend, or family member who you can talk to about this?
I had a really bad spot about 3 years ago that I thought would be the end of me. But it wasn’t, it was the end of a chapter and a learning experience. Things can get better, you can feel better about yourself and not have to have this pretense with your friends. It may be tough for awhile, but it will get better.
You can do this because you are an awesome person. Look at what you are doing! You have a job, a roof over your head and family and friends who care.
You can do this.
