Release
10 April 2008 I'm in an emotional jumble.Today I discovered something about a friend and all I could think of is it's not fair.
Then everything started revealing itself.
Suddenly I felt useless and totally unaccomplished.
I can't even uncork a wine bottle properly.
Seems like the world is conspiring on me, rubbing names and people's situations in my face showing what I don't have.
I feel so little,
And I'm jealous.
I'm jealous because I want it so much.
I want what they have - I've been dreaming about it.
It doesn't help that people keep putting that pressure on me.
It stings.
There's no escaping from this reality;
There is just escaping from people.
It has been a roller coaster ride.
And I'm exhausted.
I've already cried my eyes out.
I thought of the people I love,
And I cried some more.
I ache for them.
For their pains. For their sufferings. For the things they lack. For the things they have but do not enjoy. For having so little yet giving out so much. For getting less than what they deserve. For having to put up with responsibilities that aren't even theirs to take in the first place. For compromising despite their better judgment.
I carry with me a heavy load.
But that's me - I tend to do that.
Because I empathize too much.
I think too much.
I feel too much.
And, today, I learned that Chablis tastes horrible.

| I'm sorry you're feeling so low, and I think that it's wonderful that you're so sensitive to other people's feelings. The world needs more people like you. You ARE a wonderful person! |
