Just trying to get the most out of life by figuring it out
Published on October 27, 2005 By So Many Questions In Blogging
It's hollow and dark grey. The tears are stuck. As if there is a clogging somewhere between my throat and eyes. There is a sense of urgency which I tend to ignore. My eyes check to make sure no one is watching. Then, I hide them as they slowly beg for some form of what I would be embarassed to call mercy. I am surprised to find the difference in what I once felt was loneliness and what I now feel is abandonment. I suppose it's the contrast by unconsciously having accepted an independent life that is simply alone. Strength has become my only illusory comrade and my unforgiving enemy. I reach out my hand as I drown in what is externally the great point in my life.

I love my family. More than I can understand. But I feel neglected. I can talk no more of this because I love them all too much and because it hurts all too much. I appreciate my friends. Though they seem to be lost. Not in this world but to me. I can't help but withdraw from them for the lack of sincerity and devotion that they have proven to me. I've come to fear them as though accepting them just a little more will shred me to the pieces I don't have left. I'm not sure I believe in love anymore, or if I ever did. And the little girl inside me who tries to hold on to the wish for its blissful curse doesn't know that the wish might become her cancer. I don't approve of myself. I never have. I have never been my own family or my own friend, and not even my own enemy. I have never felt like I am me. My reflection makes me wonder who that pathetic girl is. I sometimes sympathize rather than empathize with myself. Is that strange?
And the one thing I have known all my life and that I have always strived for and felt I could succeed in is giving up hope on me. I have always desired to be a doctor for as long as I can remember. I have worked far too hard. In every way possible. In every sense possible. And now coming to amends with the fact that it's possible I will not be able to meet my life's one left ambition is improbable. And even more difficult because I am completely alone. It's like all my karma that is trying to burn out is running its course through the lack of understanding and the lack of acknowledgment towards me.

I kept thinking I was really strong. I even almost wrote a blog about it last week. But then I understood how commonly I mistake my inability to seek help, and my misfortune to forever be alone, as strength. I believe so faithfully in trying to live life to the fullest but it's far too difficult when my insides are only dying.
