Normally, as of right now, i'd be watching the sunrise out my living room window. At this hour, since i never sleep, i pry myself away from the computer to view one of the few things in life that always seems beautiful, no matter the situation.
But today is a dreary, miserable day. You can already tell. The rain soaked streets seem lifeless and what would usually be lit by the deep orange glow of the sunlight over the building is replaced by murkiness and the occasional reflection from a lamppost.
These are the thoughts of Juicy at 6 am.
I don't mean to get depressed, or post things that aren't happy-go-lucky (if there's a better way of getting the few people who read this to go away, i'd like to hear it). Sometimes a post like this is needed. For me.
I feel frustrated. Frustrations for the way my life is and for the fact i don't do anything about it. I feel frustrated for the people close to me being unhappy. The frustrations extend further upon my realization that i can't help everyone. I feel frustrated for certain conditions of my life that have been unanswered and the uncertainty of what's to come in the near future. I feel frustrated that i don't sleep. I feel frustrated that i can't sleep.
I feel frustrated for feeling frustrated. Go figure.
Dealing in something that makes a lot of sense to me (and if you know me, you'll understand) i'm like that pepsi bottle in the fridge. When you're bored you like to shake it and shake it until the pressure is built up until there's so much presuure that you can't even make any visible dents in the bottle. I need someone to open my cap. But the thing is, i'm unsure of how it's to be done. The fast way which is messy or the slow way which takes time but in the long run is for the best. Before i get ahead of myself, this is not a sexual innuendo.
I hate feeling like this. I should be used to it. I can't remember when i didn't feel like this.
I shouldn't, though. I have some of the best friends i never thought possible to have. I've never had a set of friends i could be myself with. I'm not worried (constantly) who i am around them. I'm in a relationship that has lasted nearly 3 years, through a lot of ups and a lot of downs in typical relationship fashion. I am generally close to my family (especially my mother). No bitterness there. And, for now, my health is ok (aside from a few factors). But so many people are worse off and i'm here bitching when i have what i have. I should count my lucky stars i have this life.
I don't think it's the life so much as it's who's running my life. Me. I just can't learn to be happy with who i am. I've tried. But everytime i pass a mirror, i wanna punch it. Everytime i talk, i wanna be someone else to shut me up. Life in front of my monitor seems more real than any life i can have out there. It's bleak, it's dark and it's cold. And i'm not just talking about the weather.
I can't stop typing. I probably should, along with hitting that red 'X' in the corner. But i need this. My own little therapy session. I hope i don't overcharge.
Oh, look at that... I attempted humour. Isn't that cute?
Let's move on for now. I need to learn to be a little more mysterious. Like i used to be.
Soon Robin will be up. I still haven't slept any but she's used to seeing me at work on the comp early morning like this. I usually like to be in bed before she gets up that way i can sleep and not force her to be alone all day. Tonight, however, i feel the need to be on the computer. Something is just keeping me here.
Actually, change of heart. Bed time. Something just hit me.
Godspeed and remind me to proofread this tomorrow.
