hi & nonsense ramblings

Post about feelings and things coming soon.
For now, I'm eavesdropping on a young adult talking about his job as a process engineer in Peets #overheard.
I'm also triggered/motivated by one of my (younger) colleague's successes and motivations. He is insanely aggressive and overachieving. Goals, goals, goals. I want to be, I need to be, I can be, I will be.

I'm quite content with my new laptop but I think there are some sound card?board? problems. I still prefer the UI of an Apple's Macbooks though.
Leo season is about to be over. I think there's not much that actually influences my day to day well-being, but there's a sense of pride and what not just with the thought of it...something to muse over I suppose.

I still need to plan out my trip to Italy, I feel obligated to meet up with this person even though I don't know him very well.
And if I'm lucky enough to get my job, I have to make a stop by NYC before I start another cycle of chaos.

I'll talk about OL and bay area in the next post

I'm trying to detach myself.
From everything and everyone.

It's really hard but I promise it'll be very quiet and good when I get there.
I promise.

Why Do People Fall in Love

Why do you fall in love?
so that I can feel something
Why do you hurt your self?
so that I can feel something
Do you fall in love so that you can hurt yourself?

I wish people would understand


the anxiety that cripples my mental and physical wellbeing
the feeling of being scared when I sleep alone at night
the feeling of slowly drifting into this never ending spiraling pit of dark and numbness
the [good] feeling I get when I binge to feel but the [bad] side effects of that that floods me with guilt
the terrible stomachaches I get and how the only thing from stopping me from not actually throwing up from being so inconveniently nervous and anxious is that I fear throwing up more than most things in the world
how inconvenient my lack of hunger is 80% of the day, but also how inconvenient the look for my sudden need for binge is

But most of the time I feel really whiney when I have to explain this to people and of inconvenience. ugh i hate everything. everyone.

I wish people valued and emphasized mental health more. And I wish there was better treatment for mental wellbeing instead of just drugging people up.
This is going to be so bad. But.

The first part of this will discuss how it's so hard to be yourself and not get judged at the same time. So that the only acceptable way to live life is through being "temporarily impaired".  It's like an excuse to get assaulted/raped. I know that sounds so bad. And it's not a joke. I don't think it's funny.

The second part of this is... how empty the hurt feels. And how I keep seeking ways to fill that void. And I hate talking about this with my friend(s) or significant other(s) because I feel that it always comes out to two things at the end- either they cannot handle it and they freak out (I never understand this one because I never bring this upon anyone and ask them to single handedly try to carry the weight) or they make judgements about my actions and tell me to be happy and get over it. As much as I'd like to 'be happy and get over it', I feel like this is just proof that they don't know me or haven't for enough time. I feel that I haven't won my battle with her yet, and that my fight with self image and weight fluctuations are still there. 

tl;dr- I am hopelessly in love with the ways I lose my consciousness to in order to escape her. It's spiraling into an uncontrollable addiction that I can't pull myself out of. I love the way randoms grab at me and force me to perform unconsensual sexual actions. But it makes me cry and die at the same time. Mostly because I don't want to do any of that shit, nor do I actually love it, but it makes the numbness go away and the hurt actually feel. I can feel. And that's what I  t h r i v e  for.

I don't know who reads this anymore. But please don't feel guilt or sympathy for me. I just want to be able to be able to document again and not have to fear judgement and wipe my slate clean to pretend to be someone I'm not.

Re: Double Standards

Erika wrote a little something, which made me feel empowered. Thank you...

"..Is it only possible to achieve respect from your equals by sacrificing the precariousness of your own sex? [...] I honestly think you would be disgusted to know how many men have expressed their grievances with the fact that I am an opinionated female. Or how many men haven't taken me seriously because I'm a woman and they think I exaggerate a response, or overreact. I wish I had counted how many men have said, "I'm sorry you THINK I did this" or "I'm sorry YOU FEEL that way" instead of acknowledging that my intuition is a STRENGTH and that they are capable of faults, and they're allowed to concede to them. How many men believe they have a say in what company you keep, what you wear, decisions you make. How many men hold you back in achieving your goals, particularly in young relationships, because they are constantly negotiating with the insecurity of their own egos. These are all forms of abuse. Words and actions are triggering. I think it's quite clear that because we have seemingly made a lot of progress socially, people have taken it upon themselves to move too freely in their relationships and their interactions with people, especially when they are ignorant to their past experiences. Just saying on this beautiful day to remember compassion and empathy and all of these emotions that make humans amazing. And remember, "if you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."

Chase

I go from channel to channel to hide from separate/different people.
When will I ever learn to open up and trust again?

senses

The first person to desensitize wins right?
You always want to be numb so you don't risk the chances of hurting yourself...
Isn't that right?
Isn't that right love, isn't it?

That's what they taught me...
