I'm gonna do my best not to look like a complete and utter fool and let my emotions take over on this one. I just need to talk for a second...or many.
I'm frustrated...that's it, I'm just frustrated. I am frustrated with everything, with nothing, with LIFE! As I sit here and type this, I laugh. I feel like I'm the punchline to a joke or something and everyone is in on it but me. Idk. I mean, Geez.La.Weez. I swear to Moses, this shit is exhausting.
I'm trying, you know. I really am. I'm trying to stay positive, I'm trying not to fall into a deep depression, trying not to have this anxiety that rides around in my chest. Trying to give 110%. I'm trying to be a good daughter, a good granddaughter, a good sister, a good friend, a good girlfriend...and good to me...and better than I used to be.
It's been said I'm stubborn. *raises hand* I'll admit that, I am guilty as charged. But I try not to be. I try as best I can to be open minded and not so pig headed about thoughts, ideas, suggestions, advice. I do try. One thing I know I do to a fault, I will consider your thoughts always...but if I feel strongly about something pertaining to me...yea, ok, I hear you but I ain't listening type of thing. Yea, I know it's shitty. I'll give it a once over almost every time you tell me this thought or suggestion but if I feel it, whatever "IT" is, your suggestion becomes illogical to me, no matter how very logical it may be.
Why am I like this? *taps chin then shrugs* Hell, if I know. Blame it on the way I was raised, I know I do. All that, my stubbornness and any other negative quality I've been doing for as long as I can remember. I was also raised to be somewhat self destructive, too. *blinks* Okay, not somewhat, just self destructive, period. Go figure. So at some point I have to ask myself...Self...???...how do you know that by your following a feeling, your "GUT" so to speak, this is not just you showing self destructive behavior? To answer this question, I implore you to open your ears to the commonly used phrase: I.Don't.Know.
Truth of the matter is this: When I get feelings, gut feelings and I don't go along with them, I kick myself for it because initially that feeling, your first mind, was right. But that's not to say these feelings don't keep me from making or have me making decisions with my life that can be potentially self destructive. But I also know that, if I'm admitting to being self destructive, my nature of such usually comes when my back is up against the wall and I'm feeling rushed then I'm dealing with decisions on impulse. Boy oh boy...never try this at home kids. Impulse decisions suck. But I'm sure you know this already. Maybe not all of them but it's enough of them that you don't wanna do that...like ever. Where was I going with this...? Idk.
Anyway...sometimes I wonder if I'm being self destructive or if I am on the right path. Sometimes I wonder why I even try at all because I seemingly keep reaching defeat. THAT is beyond frustrating. I can't stress that enough. And every time I think I finally got it right, something goes terribly wrong. And every time I think I'm finally about to get what I deserve, I get these bullshit circumstances. I mean what the hell? What am I supposed to do because I swear to Moses I have no clue what so ever.
This growing up shit hurts. I mean do I really need this much negative life experience before it becomes easier? And what about all the good I thought I was doing. I mean I can't even begin to count how many times I have placed my own troubles on the back burner to assist with someone else's. Maybe that's the problem. Maybe one of these days I could be fortunate enough to be so selfish that my own issues and burdens will take precedent over everyone else's. Maybe it's the fact that I try so hard to save everyone else, not asking for anything in return or placing stipulations on one receiving my assistance, with no regard for myself and my life that things go the way they do. Who knows...I most certainly don't, that's for sure. But who am I kidding...I've always been like that and I'm always gonna be like that. As helpful as I can be, doing what I can do when I can do it for whoever is in need, even when I feel like I'm being taken advantage of or that my help is unappreciated. It's what I do. And I'm good at it. Or maybe I'm not and it's not me doing good at all but me doing it out of my own selfish gain...naw, that's not it at all, lol.
Seriously though...I just know I'm tired. I'm tired of simply treading water and putting on this strong face and keeping a level head and being everyone's rock and lifeline and swimming to save them and not having that for myself...not being that for myself...not doing that for myself. Tired of just existing, biding my time waiting...waiting for what, I'm not sure. Happiness for one thing...all the rest, Idk and I won't know til I know, you know, lol.
Sheesh...I could sure go for a nice strong cocktail right now.

A Conversation With God
Hey, Jehovah. How are You? I wish I knew...or maybe I don't. Or maybe I do but if You were to reveal it to me, I'd probably wish You hadn't...right? Idk, lol.
As you know, I've been all over the place lately. Stress through the roof...okay, so maybe not through the roof but the level is definitely high. I'm just trying to be patient, You know. Being patient when it comes to my livelihood is not really something I'm good at but then I don't have much of a choice. Being still...Doing nothing...I feel like I'm doing nothing more so than I feel like I'm being still. It's frustrating, just waiting. You know what it is I want right? I know You're all knowing, I was just wondering if I needed to speak it aloud. I'll do that privately. While I feel very much comfortable speaking to You out in the open now, some things are still just between me and You.
Talking to You in the open...remember when I struggled with that? It wasn't that long ago, so I'm sure You do. I used to have a hard time simply stating Your name aloud in front of different crowds. But my being able to speak to You freely in such way with this new found courage makes me proud. I'd rather it be this way. I think I owe You this much in the very least...I mean I owe more but lets face it, I could never repay You for everything You are to and for me. So, I'll just simply share my conversations with You with everyone and no one...who ever keeps track of this here blog.
I'm happy to say that lately, my mood has been better although my worry is pretty much the same if not more. I'm still scared because I have no idea where I'm headed. Where things seemed so clear to me before, they are now quite blurry. Plus, I want to make sure I'm headed in the direction I'm supposed to be headed in...I kinda need Your help with that, a little guidance here and there to let me know You approve and this is right, if You don't mind. I know You're a busy man, so I'll do my best not to utilize all Your time (an impossible feat considering You are infinite in all things) =).
You know, I didn't really have any specific reason for writing this...just to say hey I suppose. But since I'm writing it I do want to say, I appreciate everything. You have set my spirit at ease and have made it easy for me to approach You once again. Yes, life is still hectic and I still need Your foot to connect with my backside every now and again to kick me back into gear and keep me on track and all that good stuff. Yes, I'm asking if You would...it's needed. But I know that if I continue to have faith and trust that powers that be, (You), things will work out...at least I'm hoping. You may have something else in store for me, who knows but You. I just know that, I want what I want and I want what's right for me, as well as what is meant for me...what I deserve. Do I deserve nothing? I sure hope not but You would be the judge of that.
So...yea...that job? You know the one...can You tell them to get a move on it! That's the one I want. It's perfect for me (I was gonna wait to ask You about this but what for when I'm talking to You now). Good schedule, good workout, decent enough money for me to get by and I would still be able to take my trip. I'd say its a win for me all around. If you could show me what it is I need to be doing so I can get that...like if I need to just continue to be still or if I need to harass some folk or something...yea...I'd appreciate that, lol. That's the one I want. Can You make it happen for me? Thanks...
Uh...I think that's all I got. Um, thank you...for listening...and thank you for everything again, You know, the calming of the spirit, the easing (for the most part) of my mind and just...just everything. You are awesome to say the least. =)
It's been real. And in your son's name I pray...
~~~*AMEN*~~~
