So what if right now, everything’s wrong?

To think:

I woke up one morning in the beginning of August and thought about how bad tomorrow would hurt when she took a phone break for his birthday. I don’t know what day that was but I know it was in the first week of August.

Little did I know, that soon, I would start round (I have lost count) of do my best to control emotions and imagination.

Tonight I saw the uhaul in front of their house and it was so painful.

I softly through two of my snowflake obsidian rocks towards it but i don’t think they even made it past the street. I was hoping that she would at least see one of them while she was moving and think of me. I miss her more than I can allow myself to feel – because it is just too much.

I chose to throw those to her because I read that it’s a highly protective and grounding stone and I was hoping that it would help remove negative energy.

When I spend too long asking myself why she said she was going to move in with me and the suddenly changed her mind – I think that all of the change was too much for her right now. I think that she realizes that I will wait around for her and be there unconditionally where as if she did leave and change her mind, I am sure that it could be hard to retract that decision but I actually know nothing about their relationship because I try to avoid it at all costs.

If I worry that I will not know where she is and that scares me if she ever ends up needing me – I trust that she knows that I can figure it out if I need to. It might take me a little time but when I realized that he lived here, I wasn’t seeking it out – at all, but it fell in my lap – and I told her immediately, by email. Well – that was many years ago and now she is moving away on his birthday, symbolism that i can not stand.

I really struggle with math that doesn’t add up ..

And I will swallow my pride

What would she think if she could see me right now.. she’d be impressed that I could scream every word to these terrible songs that I have listened to since I owned my first CD…

and I do know.. deep down inside, she would be rooting for me.

but I am still crumbling.

YouTube picked every one of these damn songs – which only proves that I was never cool – only, extremely excited.

I stopped it after that one because it freaked me out. I have seen The Social Network and the way my random poems have changed is really fucking weird. A post with those to come because I have been saving them just because its unbelievable. I guess you notice what is on your mind.

I dress my face in stone

Last week, I worked from home the whole week because someone’s wife had covid. Today, I was one of the lucky ones that got to go back into the office because I wasn’t actually present for whatever meeting they were all ‘exposed’ in. Luckily for me, I have only been working in the office for half of the day and only about 2 of those are hours with other employees. It limits my exposure to all but about 3 people. It also leaves me with very little human interaction, which I usually do not mind at all but after the last few weeks I have had, I just don’t even know what to do to distract myself anymore.

It’s a stark reminder of why I can’t handle being in love. I need someone to talk to but I do not want to talk to anyone but her. Last night I kind of opened up to a random friend that knows a little because I had to explain to her what I meant when I told her that I was in love with someone. This friend happens to be someone that used to like me when we worked together before. She was a teenager so my first reason was that but later I explained to her that despite her age, I was still not interested because of my emotional involvement – it was a common thing to explain to women that thought I was making it all up but I kept it short and sweet and when they realized I was insane – they just left me alone anyway. Well, since she has been hearing about this for several years by now – since it seems faker then longer i said it to people – she was sweet about it. Reminded me that it was probably just as hard in her too and that if she wasn’t reading my messages there was most likely a good reason and the good reason certainly wasn’t that she hated me. I don’t know why it helps when people help me destroy irrational fears, but it does. So I have spent the day trying to remind myself to act my damn age and remember what was important. I still cried way too much but I think I did better. I really have no idea, I actually want to kick my own ass.

I stopped taking all of my mental health medication during covid because it didn’t seem like I needed it anymore. I never had anxiety attacks when I didn’t leave my house. Eventually I quit going to the doctor all together because I got a call from my counselor person saying that she took another job so someone else would be contacting me for my next appointment but then I decided that if she could quit, so could I and since my emotional outbursts were down like we have wanted to do, it seemed successful and I thought I was done. I can’t even remember which came first but here I am, in a new house, completely alone and I haven’t taken any of my medicine in months and I don’t even remember my last psych appointment but he was terrible at phone appointments anyway. In person he could ramble on and on and teach me things about myself that I didn’t know but once it was over the phone, he just asked a few basic questions and took my non answers and refilled the prescription. No one even called me to make that next appointment, A lot of people that go there really need it more than I do, so I can’t imagine what it would have been like if I was worse off – but all that to say is that I guess I am worse off.

I smoke and I drink
And every time I blink
I have a tiny dream

But as bad as I am
I’m proud of the fact
That I’m worse than I seem

I guess I need to ask the lady if I am not as bad as I think…

Right now I feel pretty fucked up. After my friend reminded me that is probably just as hard on her that is on me – I have just wanted to protect her from me.

I am going to go take my medicine now – but I am going to continue to listen to songs that tear me to pieces.

But oh baby, maybe someday
Maybe somehow.

When my conservative aunt found out that I was a lesbian, she cried and the apologized. She said that she didn’t care that I was gay but that my life was already so hard, it just hurt her to know that it was only going to get harder.

At the time, I brushed it aside thinking that was just a nice thing to say – but the more social situations that I fail at, the more I think about her words and what she meant.

She wasn’t saying it because so many people hate gay people like I thought.

She was saying that she saw the sea of heart break coming my way.

I used to fight back.

I don’t even want to anymore. Now I just want to hang my head in shame and wonder why I ever thought love was possible. I am all over the place and all alone. Hungry and can’t it. Isn’t it Ironic… I don’t think.

Last thing, of all the songs at the concert that I knew would make me cry, this next one was not one that I had ever paid attention to before that night and well, its been haunting me since.

And that is why I just want to cry and apologize for being such a damn lesbian all the time.

The door is open, come on outside

I haven’t been able to sleep well lately.

It’s painful being a little lesbian. It is amplified when I start worrying about his feelings and needs. It’s then that I get embarrassed – not that I am a complete asshole – because I concern myself with his well-being too. Quite frankly it pissing me off in a weird way – like why can’t I just hate him? It’s weird.

No starving dogs here, just good music.

I don’t even think she knows how she moves me

Everyone has known that I am gay since.. about when this song came out – but I don’t think many know that I am this kind of gay…

Though, no one would be too surprised.

and then just for fun before I go to bed..

Sometimes my brother reminds me that I am lucky that I am a lesbian – he is probably right. He doesn’t think men could get away with the things I do. Jamming out to these two songs before might be along those lines.

Those songs played on the radio as I walked to driver’s ed at my grandma’s house. My grandpa had just passed away unexpectdly. It was a strange time in my life. The most solid part of my life started to fall apart.

Here is a random one that came on afterward – seemed fitting.
