I need a hug

It's so hard accepting that I can't get what I need from D.  It's so hard knowing that he sees himself as better than my weak displays if needing emotional support.   

I know it's late, and I should be sleeping.  I have my first lesson to teach at 10 am.   I'm so sad.

I'm so lonely.

I don't want to be sad and lonely anymore while I'm taking care of someone who thinks I'm not valid.  I know I brought this on myself.

What do I do now?  How do I fix/end this madness.  I know this is not working for me.  

I need a hug.  He won't give me one come hell or high water.  He's too busy being right.  

We're both 45 years old.  When does it end?  The precious righteousness of pre-pubescence?  I'm over it... will he ever be?

Why can't I receive the same love and understanding I do my best to give?

I'm so lonely.

I need a hug.


pity poor me

I flip off your closed door .. what should be our bedroom door... with both hands.   Begging for you to not be like everyone else.  Silently screaming for you to give a shit about me.  

I know it won't do any good.  I know you are all my fault.  I know I can't change anything.

Except myself.

I'm ready to be loved, supported and appreciated.  I'm ready to be heard and respected and validated.

I wish you would be able to do those things.

I don't know that you can.

I'll take the blame for it.  

I've got to have what I need.

You do you,  boo.  I am finally ready to do me.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Changes are fucking hard.  Oh man.  

It's super bad when you want to change your haircut, it's a whole new level of suckage when your life gets the rug pulled out from beneath your feet.

Sometimes, I wonder how I haven't taken the fast lane to purgatory.  

The past few years have been just as, and honestly, even tougher than I've had to face before.  Why I have to tear apart my whole world every few years is beyond me.

I'm not sure who I should blame for all the ruination.  Clearly, I am the only common denominator.  I am getting better at accepting that.

I've tried so hard to make everyone else happy.  I failed them all, miserably, publicly, and horribly.  I was never concerned with what I actually wanted in life.  I didn't ever think about myself, it was not allowed.  I only ever thought about what I thought everyone I loved and cared for needed and wanted.

Boy, that was not the right answer.

My health has taken a real beating.  Mentally and physically.  My finances have gone up and down again.  My relationships have been a real roller-coaster ride.  

I mean, food allergies, severe chronic pain, long covid, memory loss, severe depression and anxiety, weight gain, hamstring injuries, severe allergies coming out of the woodwork, surgery, massive family disputes, alcohol and drugs, business collapse, eviction, rage attacks, panic attacks, nightmares, ptsd, shame, guilt, pain, failure, defeat and illness.  It's really been something.  

I have fought and fought to do what I thought everyone expected of me, and it's nearly killed me.

I'm ready to do for me.  It's time.
