I don't usually talk about things like this, as keeping it inside is normally how I deal with things. But I'm going to vent, because that is what I need right now.
I honestly don't know how much more I can take..and I have managed to get through ALOT over the years. But wasn't it a straw that broke the camel's back? I think one more bit of negativity might just do it.
I believe in being positive, and loving and giving but that does not mean that I can always keep my head up in the face of adversity. I'm trying, trying so hard. And have been over the last month or two...but it has all come to a head and I'm sinking fast.
Without even getting into everything else going on, just the past week alone has been so high stress that I'm lucky I don't have high blood pressure.
I'm low on food for my family to start with, and then my fridge goes out and most of what I did have spoiled.
The air died and it's still in the 90's and I don't have a fan for us, nor even the $15 or so it would take to buy one.
It rained so hard this week that it caused a leak in my bedroom and literally started raining on my head while I was sleeping..and even though the rain stopped two days ago..its still been dripping in here ever since. and there's a huge bubble over my head basically, that looks like it's about to explode any day now and douse me with water and plaster (I really even have to stop and laugh at this because this is too ridiculous!)
I am renting my bed and a washer and dryer, and cannot pay for them so they will no doubt be coming to pick them up tomorrow (hello again floor!)
I also will once again have no internet because the laptop I have also goes back..and I need this laptop to work on, otherwise I have no income
The school messed up my daughter's transportation and I had to pay for a cab all week, costing over a hundred dollars...which made me have to take most of my kid's new clothes back to the store so I could pay for that.
And last but not least, my landlord told me last week that if I didnt have the rest of her rent on time this week, she really wants us to move out because she wants her daughter to move in. And guess what...I don't have the $250 I owe her.
I probably wouldn't be feeling quite so sorry for myself if I wasn't so sick right now, but it actually felt good thru the tears to type all this out.
If anyone does happen to read this, just know that yes I know things get better, no the landlord isn't going to fix anything even if she DIDN't want me out (no lease), yes I have tried to get assistance, and am looking for a better job and all of those things. I am not one to sit back, I am a fighter. Always.
Just please allow me my time to be sad, and plz understand why I have been down so much.
It's darkest before the dawn, and life goes on and so will I.
Thank you Fu for the vent.
This is your brain on drugs... Some thoughts on relationships. Your brain is always predicting the future for you based on past experiences. It remembers you left your coffee mug by the keyboard last night so when you walk into the room in the morning you barely notice it's there because it's simply what you expected. Then one morning you wake up and walk up to your computer – something is wrong. You can't tell what it is at first but your subconscious is busy trying to get your attention. Then you finally notice, "Hey, my mug isn't where I left it!" It seems like a sudden realization even though part of you noticed right away and knew what was wrong all along.
So what does your misplaced coffee mug have to do with relationships? It is simply this: your brain is always predicting the future of your current relationship based on its similarities to your past relationships. Since they didn't work out you brain is always offering up predictions of why this one isn't going to work out either. Maybe this quote says it better:
Quote:
"I was thinking that everyone I loved I still love. They are just below the horizonline in my mind's eye, just waiting for them to come up like the sun again. These are the people I pined for, longed for, cried over, would have done anything for. I think that the great challenge in life is to have an experience and not be bitter about it. Love is painful for everyone. To get the full high you've got to pay the full price. What is the full price? It's the devastation of its loss.
Allen Ginsberg once said - love doesn't die, it just get buried under fear and misunderstandings, and the accumulation of missed connections and failures to be brave. It gets buried under all that sludge. It's funny that if someone expresses love for us it means they owe us all kinds of things. From then on, once the word love has come up, the other person is on trial."
This might be helpful too, from the short story the movie "Memento" was based on:
Quote:
Here's the truth: People, even regular people, are never just any one person with one set of attributes. It's not that simple. We're all at the mercy of the limbic system, clouds of electricity drifting through the brain. Every man is broken into twenty-four-hour fractions, and then again within those twenty-four hours. It's a daily pantomime, one man yielding control to the next: a backstage crowded with old hacks clamoring for their turn in the spotlight. Every week, every day. The angry man hands the baton over to the sulking man, and in turn to the sex addict, the introvert, the conversationalist. Every man is a mob, a chain gang of idiots.
This is the tragedy of life. Because for a few minutes of every day, every man becomes a genius. Moments of clarity, insight, whatever you want to call them. The clouds part, the planets get in a neat little line, and everything becomes obvious. I should quit smoking, maybe, or here's how I could make a fast million, or such and such is the key to eternal happiness. That's the miserable truth. For a few moments, the secrets of the universe are opened to us. Life is a cheap parlor trick.
But then the genius, the savant, has to hand over the controls to the next guy down the pike, most likely the guy who just wants to eat potato chips, and insight and brilliance and salvation are all entrusted to a moron or a hedonist or a narcoleptic.
The only way out of this mess, of course, is to take steps to ensure that you control the idiots that you become. To take your chain gang, hand in hand, and lead them.
