Bringing me back

Living is harder than I thought. There are things that obviously still take me back to the past, and get me thinking, and then I get mad, and start thinking some more...yeah you get the point. The thing is that it's not easy to just put those things aside, no matter how many times I tell myself that I don't want to think about it. And it hasn't gotten easier for me, I've just developed different ways of handling it (some ways being better than others).
Anyway, this brings me to the point of my emotional state. Exterior wise, I'm good. I know how to let on something I'm not, as I mentioned in a post a while back. Inside, however, my tolerance level is low. Super low, in fact, it might as well be non-existent. So when certain things trigger a thought or a memory, one thing leads to another, and I need an escape. I want out, because I can't take it.

The fact of the matter is that no matter how much I "live" and move forward...inside nothing has really changed. I'm still the person who got hurt and left hanging. So does that mean there's no point in moving forward? No. I'm not just going to go sit and wait for craphead to come back around, and clear everything up. He'd have to work a lot harder than that anyway. But there is a point in moving forward. The reason I can still go about my day, and laugh, and have fun is because I'm moving. To me, the important word here isn't forward, it's moving. There's, of course, going to be something that brings you back, and it's going to still hurt, but when you continue to move away from it, instead of giving up and staying there, that just shows how much strength you've gained. So yes, moving forward sucks butt, but at least I'm still moving. 

Until Next Time.

Avoiding the pit

To have even the slightest bit of freedom is pure bliss. Freedom from what exactly? I'm going to try to explain it as best as I can. I think I mentioned, a while back, constantly falling into a pit, feeling the same way over and over again (if I didn't mention it, I'm mentioning it now). When I have something to distract myself with I'm able to tip toe around that pit for the time being or walk past it without looking down at it. With that whole analogy, I say that to say this: even though nothing and no one can actually fill that void, there are still things that can help me (temporarily) forget that it's there.

 For me at least, since I have no answers to finally confront it, all I want to do is avoid it. All I want to do is forget, and give my mind some sort of relief, even if it's only for a little bit. I have to say that keeping myself busy, getting out and doing things, actually helps me. So I guess I'm avoiding this void by...living. I'm not saying the pain isn't there, it is, but I've been able to push it aside. There's just no sense in continuing to question everything craphead did, when I'm obviously not going to get the answers right now. So in the meantime, I'll just be.


Until next time.
