How can I share what I feel when what I feel has no words?
How can I say what is lost when what is lost can't be described?
How am I supposed to be me when that me can no longer exist?
My world, my humanity, myself are because of you who surround me
When you are no longer, all I know; I no longer know
How many times will I need to rediscover me before I break?
Dear God,

You're my only friend it's crazy how alone I feel with everybody around me. But I want to thank you for showing me your gift of knowing this is not everything. It's so crazy to be here I would say maybe I should leave but that sounds like I'm saying maybe I'll commit suicide; that's not what I mean. I just can't relate to anyone here, nobody leaves room for there to be other reasons for actions,  nobody leaves room for there be other explanations,  everyone thinks they have it all fucking figured out and they are so goddamn ignorant.

My dad is dying

I have been in fear my entire life for as long as I can remember that I would lose my father at any moment. I would say it was almost a constant and conscious fixation. I would go to bed and wake up every day afraid that today was the day he was going to die. Now....... he is going to die. And in the moments that I allow myself to wallow.  I can feel the depths of griefs I try so hard to ignore, and know that my misery will come but try my dampest to keep it at bay. With that knowing and at the same time I think I learned so much from the loss of my husband that I am ready to accept the death of my father. I cannot change what is. But from these challenges I have been able to see what I fear is so unavailable to most. I see that we are but a small cog in this wheel of life. I see that we have not the body or make up to understand what is really real. To think we have a intelligence that knows what is in store for us only shows a lack of intelligence. I know for certain one thing...... I know nothing. He is so much more than could even be said or heard. I believe the good are here as souls who knowing chose these lives. Choose the pain of leaving early because the impact they could and would make was worth more than any one long life. In these deaths I choose not to see loss and end and open myself up to the feeling of nothing. I do not see and end. I see a move. Just a move with different realities. I love you daddy. I will be your legacy. I will honor you. You leave this moment we are in covered with the impression you created. See you there.

8 years....

It's been 8 years since he has passed. I read some of my first posts and saw such passion and feelings expressed. I am not that person any more.  I suppose that's why I haven't added much more to this blog. I have started a journal but I guess I think it's not important enough to to share. Maybe I will add it. After all it still is me and expresses what I am feeling. But to that; feelings. I don't have many strong ones anymore. What was it that made me change? Age? Loss? Or simply resigned....... What ever it was it created a person who couldn't experience total joy happiness or laughter. Not to say I don't have those feelings it's just that they are a portion of what they were. I have made entries but most are just when I'm angry. 
So I have taken to putting myself in the thoughts and minds of other. I put myself in their heads and feel what they feel. With those thoughts and feelings go I am able to write again and feel a depth of emotions. I like that. I like feeling that place where strong emotions still exist. I will share some of the words I have written. Maybe some will ring true for other.

In our relationship I certainly have my flaws and I know them when you bring it to my attention. I am not only grateful that we are close enough for you to tell me, but that I can recognize them and see that it is something that needs to be changed in me.  However I cannot take you criticizing my parenting over and over and over and over. That is not anything I have ever asked your advice on. I have never gotten involved in your parenting. And I am so tired of you thinking you have a right to tell me what to do. For 16 years I have basically been doing this on my own. Have you? How do you even know what this is like if you haven't been in my shoes. I have never tried to disparage you on everything you do and it hits me to the core that you do that to me. I know my flaws and failures and I try to deal with them but the way I have works for me and it's the easiest thing for me as a single parent who raises my kids by myself 24 hours a day seven days a week.  It is not perfect and it is wrong in so many ways but I don't need you to come in and make me feel worse about it. When I am with you I try to leave all that behind us and devote myself entirely to making you happy and taking care of you and I feel like I do a damn good job of that. Can't you just respect me and appreciate me for how much I love and care about you instead of trying to find all the things that are wrong with me? I treat you like you're my King and adore you. Can't you let that be enough?

If you look at my first text to you today it said how I couldn't wait to see you. I meant that. Then when you get here, you can't even spare 5 mins to hug, kiss, or cuddle me. I have always told you I needed affection. I was in a relationship for too many years without that and I won't do that again. You may think  I'm being unrealistic with my needs, but this is how it starts. I've seen the beginning and seen it's end. I'm seeing the start of an emotional disconnect and it pains me. I want to be with a man who wants to give me 5 mins of his busy day, even when he is exhausted and tired because he loves me and kissing me is the highlight of his day. I feel like I am clear in my communication so you can't say I haven't told you, so that leaves only one answer; you just don't want to..... Or worse, don't want me. That kills me. I just want you to know how you made me feel so you understand..... Maybe. You needn't respond.

So I realized a couple things tonight that actually did make me want to journal. One part and certainly not the first that I realized is how you make me feel when you call me out on my failures or shortcomings. The thing is; is that I know what my failures are and I hate myself and get on myself for them. However I have developed this persona of someone who is strong and never needs help so when somebody actually calls me out and point out things that I know, it's very hard for me to graciously accept criticism. I have made myself into being someone who never asks for help or appears weak so that I can always be the strong one and support everyone else. This has actually made me very lonely.  What I have been searching for is someone that allows me to be weak and sees me for all I am, the strong and the weak. I just didn't know how hard it would be to actually find you and to accept your insight and constructive criticism. This is a first for me. Never have I actually cared how someone thought of me.  That was really hard. At the same time when you did, it made me see something amazing in you that I have been searching for. It took a while for me to realize that I love you, but knowing that is an amazing feeling and in my heart of hearts I know that it's true. However loving you and being in love with you, to me are two different things. Loving you is the easy part but that certainly does not by any means make us a certainty. How you spoke to me the other day, however hurtful, was mended by the words you said the next morning to me. You knew the importance of a conversation and in doing so confirmed your love and commitment for me.  I saw the strength in you that I have been searching for and have needed. I saw something in you I hadn't seen before and I realized for the first time that I really could be "in" love with you. I need to be in love with you to really make us work. I wasn't sure that was a possibility weeks ago but I saw the strength in our future and I believe in us. I want more than anything a chance to be happy in my life. I actually didn't think that was possible. I now see that it is and I want to fight for that. I need an actual partner and someone that I am equal with and is there for me as much as I am there for them. I saw that strength in you and I now know that you have the person in you that I have been searching for my whole life. Will you fight for us? Everything you said was true, we need to change and put our lives in order. I can do that with you. I've been so alone and empty for so long.  I haven't wanted to create happiness or beauty or love around me. I've just wanted to exist. I quit putting effort into making my life better or even good. All I did was make it manageable without joy. The only feelings I ever had were when I was making someone else happy so that's how I allowed myself to be used. I could at least feel something thru others. This is the real me. And I need the real you. The good and the bad, however ever that comes as long as you can live with who you are and be proud. That's the man I know you are. And you do make me a better person.

What I get frustrated about is how you ask and expect me to be someone and do what you expect me to do. That role of a wife that does what a wife "does". You may have a leg to stand on if your were the breadwinner. But your not. If anyone should expect something it's me. And I don't ever tell you to get your chores done. You do take care of some household chores but that is just maintaining the home you live in. I don't need to be wildly appreciative that you contribute. I pay all the bills. If you want to start playing that role you need to realize your the one who should be doing the "wife" duties. But I never ask that of you. You have brought up this situation and you have no leg to stand on.

Falling in love is not easy. In order to fall in love I needed to completely let go of all my mistrust fears and doubts about the person I'm in love with. That's you. When I fell in love with you I put my heart into this 1000%. I believe that you are who I am meant to be with for the rest of my life. I believe you are my one and only, forever. So even though you have said you're sorry I can't wash away what happened last night. This is now the second time that you have truly without heart and void of any love told me that you are leaving me. I guess I'm just having a hard time seeing how someone who loves me could tell me they're leaving me so determined and firm and resolute. I couldn't do that to you. Now it makes me question whether you are my true love and my one and only. I know that I love you but I'm not equipped to handle that type of pain. I'm just not strong enough. Along with that was the physical actions. What you did was what's happened to me before and it all started with being spit on. To spit at someone is the most degrading action you can do without violence. It lets the person know they're nothing and lower than low in your mind. You say you won't do it again but that's what you said last time. Do you really want to be in this relationship? If you do give me your 100%. If we have issues we need to talk about them not wait until were out of boiling point and make but could be a discussion into a huge break up fight. Once again I love you but your actions are beginning to make me just trust you. How can you have true love if you can't trust your lover? This to me seems like a huge step backwards and unless we can fix this I don't know how we can both be happy. My only hope is that we can use that experience to help us grow move past it be stronger and love each other more. Do you think that's possible? Do you truly feel in your heart that you are in love with me?
My journal.......


Jan 21 2013
I had this crazy vision of sorts with my father tonight. He and I had a puff of marijuana and sat together. I didn't want to get spiritual because I have a hard time listening to his perception and not letting him hear mine. That being said he suggested we meditate and focus on the Golden triangle. I have heard of focusing on the Golden triangle my entire life and so in the interest of being true to this process I put that Golden triangle in my head and open my mind to seeing what it could teach me. I really felt nothing. There was nothing  i was looking for that feeling and hoping it felt me and searching for meaning. It was an empty space that held no power and was void of meaning to me.
So then I chose to take this moment that was offered to me to see what I really felt. I searched for a feeling of spirituality and love. My father and I sat across from the prayer rug and I open my mind. 
What I felt were his arms wrapped around me as a father holds his daughter and comforts and loves her. I felt completely safe and loved. 
I knew this meditation could go on for a long time since there was nothing wrong with it, however I new that it was bedtime so I ended the silence
I felt so good about that feeling from him I received in our meditation, I felt it necessary to tell him that I actually had not been able to focus on the Golden triangle and instead felt him hugging me.
Now where this is where a gets  crazy. He told Me he also couldn't focus on the Golden triangle and what he felt was two large wings coming from him and wrapping around me and holding me.
Not only was I amazed at the fact that he saw the same thing, I was also gratified by knowing that no matter what anyone expects you to do, or tells you how to focus on some spirituality, it's the higher being that shows you what he wants. 

Today. 12/25/12
People always say that you want to marry someone like your father. I use to think that was a valid point however in recent life moments I realized that it's not my dad I'm looking to find in a partner, is the traits given to my brothers. "Life" he is always there for you and can complete there all along and I in turn find worth by his love. 

1/20/13
I dreamt I was at a Friends house and Chip called me. I spoke to him for a while and when we are finished I said I love you. He didn't say he love me back and I asked him why. He told me he didn't want to tell me he loved me because he planned on starting over with the two of us and falling in love with me all over.

No matter how I word this confession it's going to end up sounding horrible. I am a mother of three children and my confession is about my middle child. He is the kindest sweetest child in the world, however he is slower academically and mentally than my other children. I am a person who values intelligence above anything else in my life and that is how I foster and build my relationships with other people.  I have little to zero tolerance for persons that display my perceived notion of stupidity.  I think my boy has inadvertently  become one of these people and I see my patience with him wane. 
Are there any mothers out there who have kids who are on the slower side and do you know what I am feeling?

Thoughts of my friend Ease

Wow, so I don't even know where to begin. 
I can start by telling you how I thought our friendship was. When Chip died something new was born in me and much about was due to loss of personality and love and need for anyone's friendship.
For some reason I decided to believe in you and trust in you and create in you a surrogate for my love and trust. You in fact gave me absolutely nothing besides trust. That's all I had from you that's all I needed and you betrayed it. Did you ever think you were worthy of my friendship or that I owed it to you? You were more hassle then gift but in my absolute loyalty I never looked at it that way. I begged you not to let my friendship go. I hoped you would not to be selfish and yet still you are. You judge me and found me unworthy. I can never forget that. My bond with you is broken. You broke the last piece of my heart I had. 
And, just as I had imagined I am not sad. I knew that if I lost the last good part of me which was you I would end up being a broken empty person. That's how I feel. I have no sadness that you're gone. Just relief. I can now be absolutely alone and feel good about that. Do not try to come back to me. If you have any goodness left in you, do not try to fix what is now broken. I was always better off without you and now I can be.

In part to ease
You're going to say it's hard and I should appreciate what you going through and give you leeway for that. But it's hard for me everyday and I don't put that burden on you nor have I ever. Do you know that every day when I wake up I realize my kids don't have a dad. That every time I do something that should include family it's only me. I hurt daily but never have put that burden on anyone else. 

Dear God dear Lord I believe in you. There is no doubt in my mind that you are everything and everyone. I don't know what I am supposed to be. I don't know what my purpose is. I know you put me down here to do something and create something but I'm lost I don't know what it is I'm supposed to do. I know I have to be a unselfish human being and to try to make other people's lives better. But I think I'm failing. Please give me a sign

Oct 31, 2013
Ease,
I miss you. I miss you like crazy everyday. I feel like there's something missing and it dawns on me that it is you. I want to constantly call you and ask your opinion and advice because you are my only one true friend whose opinion I value. But at the point where we are now I don't want to go back to how it's been. You quit believing in me, loving me, trusting me and having faith in me and I felt that and you left me. I don't know where to go from here and truthfully I don't even want to think about emotions where you're concerned. It's easier for me just to walk away. I'm now second guessing myself and I don't like it. 
You're telling me now that the reason you distanced yourself from me was because you didn't like how you verbally abuse me and you thought that I would understand. You never gave me a chance to understand because you never told me why. You just said you had to stay away from me. Had you said that you didn't like how you were treating me in this friendship I think I would've understood more and not felt so betrayed. But you just texted me a said you were out. And in the weeks and months prior you had already emotionally pulled yourself away from me and I fought to hold on to you. It pained me deeply that you saw a lack of commitment and support in my friendship, but still, we communicated. I don't know what to do right now and your the person I would normally go to for advice. Im broken and I don't know how to fix it.

Oct 
You made me feel worthless. Like all that I had to give wasn't enough. And I gave you my entire self. That in itself was a betrayal of our promised and guaranteed friendship. 

Nov 10, 2013
I always said there were never two people less suited to be best friends than you and I. And I always took pride in that. Now it seems clear to me that I was wrong. Although what I gained from you was all I needed, I don't think I ever was a friend that you needed in your heart. 
I can think back to several occasions where you took your anger out on me and then later called me to apologize and wondered how I could have been so forgiving. I told you I forgive you because I loved you for your entirety and you being angry didn't change that. Now I know I never deserved How you treated me and I'm never going to go back to that.  Until you cut me out I never realized how one-sided our relationship was because I refused to ever see any bad in you. 

Note to Clean

You know what's most annoying is that you have asked me to disregard a friend for you. And in the end that's what I will do. But what will happen to me is that I will have lost a good friend and you will still be the same person you are. I will have gained nothing by this. 

Dec 20 2013

There is nothing more important to me in the world than you. I will not make excuses for my behavior because that does not change the facts. All I can say is that I want to apologize and let you know that this will end. I need you and your respect and your love more than I need anything. Please forgive me.

Audrey,
You know nothing about me as a person and have never even tried to. I have always just been someone you were able to be disappointed in and want things from and expected things from. The only thing you have ever wanted from me was to be the person that gave you everything you wanted. 
Before you were born I was a human being and I am still that person. I have done things and maybe wished I had made different choices but for you to treat me the way you always have, and now decided to judge me is completely unfair. 
You know nothing of your father and who I was before I met him and who he made me. I don't want to ever destroy his memory in your life but if you judge me I will defend myself and give you truths you don't want to hear. 
I hope that when you are a mother and make choices in your own life you have a daughter that is kinder to you than you have been to me. 
If you ever want a real excuse from me ask me about what transpired when I took you out of school and your father and I with Henry took a motorhome across the states. 
You know nothing about the pain my life has been and things that have forced me to me emotionless. 
What you have done has taken any semblance of a life I have tried to create here in Bothell for you; and destroyed it.
What I did on my weekends that you don't approve of never had any bearing on the way I was as a mother every other day. Anytime I ever did anything you don't like, it was when I was never with you or any of my children. You have decided to make this all about me. But every time anything ever goes wrong in your life, it's always been about the other person. You have never done anything wrong.
 Any good I have ever done in my life you have single-handedly destroyed and diminished.
You have made everything I have ever valued about life for other people nothing because you have chosen to believe I am nothing and IOU everything because I have been nothing.  UR the failure. Fucking put yourself together and try to excel in your school. Get good grades, make yourself valuable, push yourself to be somebody better than the average person. I always thought you were great. I believed you were better, but you showed me nothing but weakness and failure.
You stupid entitled little child, you have no idea how much I went through to get you in my life. When your dad cared nothing for you and wouldn't condone my pregnancy with you he went after me to the point that when I unplugged his TV to make him speak to me he chased me up the stairs and then thru me down and kicked my stomach over and over. I fought for you to live. You barely made it. You weren't my first child, he forced me to abort our first son. I told him I could never let that go and forgive him, but I guess I did. 



Don't be weak.  Say you are an adult and you have made your own decisions and made my own choices   That were right for me at that time but now I see the effect they have on you. Nothing is more important to me then you and my relationship with you. I am going to completely stop doing any drugs and work on fixing our relationship. 

March 1st, 2014

Thank you so much Compassion for being someone I could call when I knew I was in deep pain but at the same time I didn't want to make too much out of it. I called you initially just because I needed someone to tell me to deal with my pain and it would all be ok. But you, as tired as you were from working a full day and had already gone to bed; you heard my pain and got up and insisted to come check on me.  
 Just from my voice you were able to realize I needed you. You really did save me and I guess honestly I wouldn't expect any less because you are the friend who cares enough to really listen and that does that.
When you realized I had to go to the hospital you called Bernie and asked her to watch Charlie and I don't know what transpired however she said no, I was barely able to call Perfection and ask her to watch Charlie and without hearing the pain in my voice or even asking me why I needed help she said no. Thanks sisters, I'll remember. Bernie however did make it up and made sure she came and picked me up for the ride home. But the funny thing is I didn't even for a minute consider calling Meleea who I consider to be one of my best friends. That makes me ask myself "is she really a friend"? I know I am always there for her, but in my time of need I didn't actually think she would be there for me. And the sad part is, it's not that I thought she wouldn't even be there for me, it's that she didn't even cross my mind as being somebody who would unselfishly be there for me. I didn't even consider her. What does that say?
And Meleea, I am so mad at you. You did the same thing to me that Ease did. You broke my trust. You are wishy-washy bipolar manic and often crazy but I have always loved you, trusted you and been loyal to you. I don't know if it's even necessary to say it again but you have done nothing for me besides loved me. And that was enough. The reason I loved you and trusted you so much is because I knew our friendship love and trust was beyond question. When I discovered that you had made choices that I never thought you would do and had hidden them with full knowledge that what you were doing was wrong it really hurt. You know what you did was wrong and when I tried to talk to you about it instead of hearing what I had to say and excepting what you had done you got defensive had made a huge scene and walked away. Honestly, at this moment right now you could fuck off. Go ahead and live your life without being honest and Wholesome to anyone. You been doing it this far, let's see how it works for you. You were lucky to have a friend like me, but instead you made me look the fool. Maybe you're better off. 
Meleea, you're the person that would never do anything good for somebody that was out of your way. Your first question would be "what have they done for me"? And "why do they deserve me to do anything for them"?. You have never made a choice to just be unselfish and take care of someone. It's all about if they deserve it based on what has been done for you. What a sad life. 
Why don't you try humility, generosity and giving. All without personal justification. 


Compassion, I know I have already thanked you but after writing that last post it just made me realize how very fortunate I am to have you as my friend and sister. How disappointing it is to know that both my sisters; Bernie and Perfection said no, Perfection; without even asking why I needed help. You heard the pain in my voice, recognized that and insisted on coming over to check on me. Perfection just straight out said no. The fact that I didn't even think about Meleea as an option to help me now speaks volumes about my perceived character of her. But all of this has made me very very grateful for you. Thank you. I love you. 
Nothing you did tonight was rude and insensitive selfish or cruel. You do still have a little moments of questionable actions and you and I had hoped you would take Charlie, just because you said you would and he wanted to and I want you to be true to your word. However the all and all of that, I think it would be really really easy to walk away from these so-called girlfriends we have in our life. Much of what has happened has made me evaluate my friendships and although there are a few things we could work on with your outgoing and opinionated personality, your sister and sister friendship personality is everything anyone could ever want. I would love to ignore everyone and just talk to you.

Meleea. 
Maybe you have decided after so many years you could take me for granted and that you have a right to walk away when I try to have a discussion with you; regardless if is something you're not happy about. I have straight up been a best friend and loved you and never judged you for as long as I have known you. But guess what? I am not okay with this. If you want my friendship you are going to actually have to work for it, instead of having it always be a given. If I'm  worth being your friend then for the very first time you're going to actually have to fight for my friendship. If you don't, I'll know sadly and with disappointment that it was never really important to you to be my friend and I really was the only one who tried. If your never really tried and gave, was it ever really a friendship?

All free people have the right to use the body they have been given as they see fit. Is it fair that miners risk their lives everyday they work? Is it fair police officers lay their lives on the line All free people have the right to use the body they have been given as they see fit. 




All free people have the right to use the body they have been giver as they see fit. Is it fair that miners fist their lives everyday they work? Is it fair police officers lay their lives on the line for us everyday........literally.... Any day they patrol they are solemnly risking their life to serve and protect every cog in the wheel. Perfection, harmony and happiness only happens when you are ready.

I am not sure I'm even looking to find someone to have a relationship with and fall in love with. However the worst part about this is that I know that's not even my choice. I know what it is to be thin and beautiful and I know what it is to be overweight and intelligent, however I have always been intelligent and beautiful but not necessarily thin. The sad thing is that I will miss out on people and people will miss out on me because of our physical disabilities.

How do I fucking start caring and giving a shit about anything? I don't think I really do any more than what I am suppose to do as the rules apply.  
I am breaking my kids. They shouldn't have to grow up with a parent like me. What role model am I? Who will they be due to my lack of love? I know I'm fucked but I care enough to want more for my kids. I don't know if I can even be fix now. I think it's too late. And that makes me sad. I wish I was "human". Is anyone as alone as me? 

June 10, 2014
I just want so badly to be happy. I really though that was never in the cards for me and I had completely given up on the notion of ever really caring about someone again. I had resigned myself to the fact that I was a jaded person who could never trust or love and the worst.... Be loved. So out of the blue something happens and it feels so good my whole frame of mind in an instance changed. I decided to throw caution to the wind and let all my reservations go and try to accept whatever was happening and give "this" a chance. I haven't been happy since Chip died and I know I saw something in me that was new and good and happy. I glowed. I smiled. I wanted to love the world. I wanted to be the best part of me and I wanted to grow and change and be a better person. I haven't felt any hope of life for years. And I saw it and everyone saw it in me. For the first time In forever I felt I didn't need my medication. I felt like I didn't need to drink. I felt like this was something I wanted to experience being me and didn't want to have any external meds or drink effect how I created my relationship. This was the healthiest me I have been in 7 years. My meds make me not care and I didn't want to dilute myself for the first time. But. I think I fucked up. I should never have tried to reach for more. It's not meant for me. First Audrey did everything to sabotage it then he did and even though he tried to go back on how he acted, I think I can't forget. I did everything to look past his flaws and see only the good but he disappointed me and now I'm not sure I can see past his flaws. God how I just wanted to be happy for once. And for a moment I was.  He may have not been the one for me but he was the first person who made me believe again and made me feel happy and trust and hope. I don't give this man credit as though I  had deep feelings, only that he made me see that I could still have feelings. 

Audrey, when have you ever thought that I was a real person with real feelings. Have you ever cared? Hasn't it always been only about you? What you get, what you want?

Your right Shandi. You shouldn't trust anyone. I don't trust you or any of my so called friends. You all are there for only yourself. I need to be as well. It made me see that I can't trust anyone to love me and this false hope in jason is a joke.  I'm kidding myself into thinking this could be real and I won't be fucked again. I can't trust myself to give my heart over again only to be broken. I need to shut it down. I already feel myself pulling away and losing that faith and trust that comes with a true smile. Just a dumb ass  gullible smile. I've think that's gone. I have woken up to reality. It's all fake and I just played myself into thinking I could be more. What a joke.  
And BTW...... I'm Sick of fighting for your friendship. I don't need you. I don't get anything from you. I can just walk away. I need nobody and nothing. 
Jason this is probably using me anyways, why would he ever like some fat ugly person like me. Not that he has much for himself but I give him more than he has. I feel worthless and undeserving and hateful to all of you. 
This whole relationship is a farce and I am sick of kidding myself. I'm not going to play this game anymore and I just don't fucking care

Ease,
You're so fucking selfish. You get on my case constantly about not being there for you even though I have fucking been there for you nonstop. I had been there for you for every fight for every issue when you moved out when you moved in when you did everything you did. I finished your fucking apartment I loved you I've always been there. What the fuck have you ever been there for me.

Should a relationship be where you read each others minds and know how deeply you can see each others souls? Should it be something so powerful your words can't express? Or should it just be comfortable and easy. With laughter and friendship? What is enough and what is not enough? Are we settling or are we reaching for fantasy?

Oct 15, 2014

Jason, I know tonight that you were only venting and it wasn't really complaining. I just know that you vent a lot but don't make the changes necessary to appease your frustrations. Not in all cases but often where it pertains to you and how you feel about your life and future. I just want to see you be a strong decisive man who takes accountability and action.  I think those steps alone would make you feel like the successful man you know yourself to be. I want to see you believe in yourself so that others will too. Confidence is the thing that makes a man sexy and alluring. 
And I know you have said you love me to where I believe you really meant it but it didn't come with the feelings I thought it would. I don't feel that love you say you have. I feel a close like but not love. Or at least what I think love should feel like. We don't stare into each others eyes and share our emotions with deep love and mutual respect. We don't talk about us and how we feel about each other. I don't know what love is, I don't think I've ever been truly loved. I think I wanted you to fall in love with me so I could know for once how it felt to be totally and wholly loved. But this doesn't feel like it. Is is suppose to get deeper or better?
When we have long talks it's always just you talking and if I ask questions they mostly get talked over and ignored. I ask so that I can feel involved like it is an actual back and forth dialogue. I think if you really loved me you would want to hear me and converse with me. Let alone actually ask me about myself or show interest in what makes me tick or who I am. You don't seem to really care about the depths of me. I may not have been truly loved as a wife or girlfriend but I was as a friend with Joe and he showed more friendship and interest in who I am then you ever have. 
But on the other hand, this is better than being alone. So, should I just shut up, be happy with what it is, have patience and see if the best is still to come?

Oct 16th

I tried to talk to you tonight and get you to care and you weren't feeling good at the moment so you said give you a minute and you would respond. But then you never did. You just blew over it and ignored my comment and question. How do you think that reads to me? How could that possibly be positive? It means you don't want to address my thoughts or feelings. I'm suppose to love you and you say you love me but this isn't right. I can't trust you with my feelings because you don't even what to know them or hear them!! How can love and trust be built when you show no regard for my emotions? 
I really hope this doesn't come off as being needy because if that what you take from me wanting to have a strong deep and emotionally true relationship then we have nothing and don't see eye to eye and doubtfully ever will. I just can't settle for less again. I want it all. 
But then there is "me". 
Put on a happy face, nothing bothers me. I'm fine. Let me just make you happy. As long as you are, I am. I'm stupid for even trying to share. That's just not reality or in my cards. Strong me, always here for everyone and I need nothing. Supportive and caring. It's all about you. Fine. Just be "happy". How can I be of service to you? (I am so sick of having to be that person alone) I told you when we first started dating that I wanted; ney, needed someone I could be weak to. Someone who would and could take care of me and let me fall and fail and cry. You said you would be that man. Are you that man? Can you take care of me? 
I think we need to talk to each other and get deeper with each other in order to make our relationship grow. We need to learn to really trust each other with our entire hearts minds and souls if we really want this to work and be real. We need to spend time in just us and who we are and what we want.

My good friend died this week and her husband called me with his great loss and grief. 

I just wanted to fall apart and do that on my own. I didn't want anyone to witness that. And you came over and it stopped me from being able to completely fall apart and you were able to witness me being weak. I am not happy with that. 

One part of me thinks I don't deserve to be loved, the other part thinks you don't even know me enough to love me, and then there's another part of me that thinks you don't deserve my love, and if you did know me you really wouldn't love me, and then there's a whole other side that I haven't even figured out. 

I just need to go back to being alone. That way when I am sad and depressed I know that I am the one responsible for it and my misery isn't tied into someone else how they make me feel. If I'm alone then it's just how I make myself feel and I am solely responsible.

Oct 29, 2014

You think I'm exaggerating and being corny when I say over endearing terms of emotions, yet in fact I'm being truthful. I actually do find such joy and love in the small things that you mean to me and it makes me feel happy to share that with you. But if you can't read my sincerity as it is, I know that I will end up shutting myself off. But the worst part for you is that because I don't want to be alone and I do still get something from you; I won't let you go. Instead I will just continue with those comments and yet this time they won't mean anything and it will only be to keep you around until I find somebody who can fill your void. You're right, I don't love you in the same way I act to, but I hope that in expressing that emotion I will grow into that love. But if you can't reciprocate and make me feel that you deem me as worthy as I am making you feel I'm not stupid enough to allow my emotions to grow. But it could be too late. By the time you realize I am worthy of your love there's a good chance that I will have already cut myself off because I'm not emotionally strong enough to stick around without having felt that from you when I opened my heart.

Jason, I know that since I've met you my life has improved. I'm happier, I'm more confidant, I'm neater, I've Made my body healthier, I get along better with Audrey, I do more things involving my immediate family, I'm motivated to do more, I see joy in life, I laugh, I involve myself in life, I see purpose and a future with me happy but with all these things they are met by just having a person in my life. But are you replaceable? Is it you or just the figure of "you"? Could it be any man who came in and cared for me? Or is it you, the one and only you? I worry I just needed this void filled and allowed you to do the filling for my benefit and granted you did, but if I had allowed someone different could they have done the same? Are we close on an deep emotional level? I don't think so.... But you have done what needed to be done. But are you "the one"? I don't think so either. You served a purpose. You made me believe again and want to see and feel joy in life. But was it really "you" who did this, or where you merely the tool I needed to use to dig me out. More and more I think the latter. I have been trying to feel for you and believe that what I feel is strong real deep and can grow, but I think I know I'm fooling myself to serve my purpose.

This is a note to my best friend, you are in a position where if you do not start hating somebody i.e. your husband then you're going to get pulled back and forth and have no power. I am in a position that if I start caring about somebody eventually I too will get royally fucked so much that to my chagrin and dismay I think maybe the only opportunity for us is to creatively fuck ourselves by moving in together. It will be be miserable and horrible but we won't be able to get out of that situation and be back with the men that are in our lives. We need to fuck ourselves before they can fuck us.
He makes me really happy so I want to end it before he can hurt me. Also, when I lose him I'll really need a Partner. Don't you think we could be that for eachother?

So this is the weird thing.....you said you loved me and I asked "do you really love me?" And your odd reply was , and this is not verbatim, I love what I am for you or can be for you...... Wow!!! Really!?!?! So, you don't have really solid feelings until you see the power and strength you are when you give me support and love? I love that that could be a part of our love but not that that is the main factor of us. That means you are looking for me to complete you and in truth your love for me exist only based on what and how giving me your "gift" of love makes me react to our relationship.

I am not yet a step mother but my significant other had two children, one who is best friends with my 16 yo daughter and another who is 13 and a boy. He can be kind to my 11 and 4 year old but when he lives with his dad full time his influence was more often than not thought of as a bully. I know he is a good kid in his heart and I am not a person who would generally even reach out or care but this kid is good. That being said, he has stolen from me several times and been cruel to my two younger sons. His father wants to move in with me but I don't think I could handles him even if it were every other weekend. His dad looked thru his bag when we got home the weekend and he had my iphone charger and cord packed away as well as a bag of illegal fire works. What do I do!?? I love his daughter as if she were my own and treat her that way, but although I know he has a beautiful heart I am not ready for the damage he could cause me or my children...... But I love his father too. Any advise?

Jason, 
I am madly crazy wildly in love with you. There is not for one second I thought five months ago I would be where I am today and my feelings for you. I can't believe that when I met you I knew with every certainty that you and I were going to be a temporary relationship however I had such fun with you I wasn't going to ruin it by calling it quits just because I knew it wasn't going anywhere. I thank God and my luck that for some reason I chose to follow my intuition and and stayed with you and threw caution to the wind. I never knew what love was until I met you I never knew who I was until you loved me.

Wow you really hurt me. No matter what argument we got into I never thought it wasn't something we wouldn't  work out. But you choose to ignore me for a whole day. I have always said that we kiss for every time we say goodbye and every time we see each other again. We did neither of those. You spoke down to me and were very rude and then said it to my kids and me. Then you quit talking for the next 9 hours. Really, 9 hours.... we said hardly a word. I just feel like I'm in a place in my life that we work because we give each other respect and love. If you can't give me that I don't know how this can work. I'm not looking for money or for your intellectual conversation all I need from you is trust of love. And you broke that. I have looked past all your detriments as they apply to me and choose to see just the parts of you that make "me" a better us.  That is not what you gave me.

Well, I guess the honeymoon is over....... I mean really over..  I was able to ignore the lack of intelligence and education because of his wildly beautiful open love.. I mean who could ignore that? It's what every woman in the world has ever wanted!! He gave me undivided attention, absolute love, total respect and made me feel like I was the most beautiful and important person in the world. Then, he quit..... I gave him all of me, never realizing that that and whatever other fucked up reasons that make no sense brought out in him a zero. A no one.  A typical man. Who never sees a woman. Who quits giving attention affection and something not in my "required" 4 "A's"...........appreciation. No gratitude. No thanks no love. He stopped making us important. He stopped making me feel loved. He stopped making me feel valuable. Then after all that he tried to take away my pride. He told me what I did have and brought to our table was unearned and undeserving. He diminished me. What I have is blood money.  Not for a second would I not trade for a father to my children and a son to his father and a brother to his sisters and a friend and love to me. Why did he have to become that man? I can't accept it. I don't need to.
