it’s been too long. i feel like there is too much to write and nothing to write at the same time.
it’s recently been coming to my attention how a lot of people in my life think i’ve gotten through this… thing. who cares what they think? but it does matter, because right now it feels like my identity. i know i need to shake that. hazy.. everything seems hazy.
my mom went on her first date since my dad last monday. last week she let it slip that there was someone interested.. i encouraged her. she was surprised and very emotional about it. “we just want you to be happy.”
life certainly is weird.
2010 is coming to an end… and i’m not going to be sad to see it go. 2010 has been the hardest year of my life. hands down. i remember last year when people were telling me happy new year i was just wondering if i’d live to see the end of it. sounds melodramatic, i know.. but i really didn’t know.
been struggling with my boyfriend. god i love him. i’ve been too dependent.
i’ve recently realized that there are two very separate things i need to work through. there’s the anxiety and flashbacks and depression and fear and all of that.. the memory of those 3 months last year… and then there’s also just the fact that i lost almost everything. school. friends. job. everything and everyone that inspired me… there was a lot. i lost myself. i threw it away. and i don’t say those things to beat myself down. it’s just the truth. i do believe i can come to be inspired again, i do have hope, but i also know it’s a long road. and there aren’t any guarantees…
if i don’t post again before, happy new year’s everyone. remember love.

Glad to see you back, and I’m slowly coming back to writing, too. I hope some of the good things will come back into your life in 2011. I wish you all the best.

I read this late, but i’m sorry to hear that. I do wish you a better 2011. I too had a rough 2010 and parts of me are tired of trying, but i guess that’s the best thing about life…we can keep trying.
Good to see you post again.
