“Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it’s not because they enjoy solitude. It’s because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.”
— Jodi Picoult, My Sister’s Keeper
“As far as I could see, life demanded skills I didn’t have.”

I hate her so much. Yet, she’s my “best friend”. Best friends do not do what she did to me. Best friends don’t treat eachother like I treat her. But then again, nothing in my life ever goes as planned.
School tomorrow, then work. I like to keep busy. Idle time is the devil’s candyshop. Or something like that.
Brandon, my boyfriend, has been acting different. Well, come to think of it, maybe I’m the only one acting different. Having people constantly remind me that him and I don’t go together makes it hard to remain stable in the relationship. They say he’s controlling and doesn’t respect who I am. What do they know, right?
I cut myself shaving earlier. It felt great.
Let’s hope I can stay in my bed tonight.
I’ve been writing in my journal lately. I find it healthy, however, I find it necessary to also keep my tumblr updated. With that said, my life is one casualty after another. Perhaps that’s an exaggeration. Allow me to explain. I have yet to move back home, just stalling really. I know that when I get moved back in nothing will have changed. I’ll be put in the middle of my parents marriage. I’ll be required to do everything around the house because apparently, my sister is too sensitive to be upset at all. The lady is still in my life. My hands are dry and I want a cigarette.
I’ve been sleeping all day. This medication is keeping me tired, but I can’t let it keep me in bed. I’m staying in bed not only because I’m tired but bc I don’t want to be awake and that is not okay. I have everything to be awake for. I have to keep in mind that ten plus hours is plenty of sleep. Physically, I am capable of staying up for the day.
Do you think that maybe, just maybe, they really are okay with being just friends? Or maybe they’re just really lonely. Either way I’ll take it over being used. We just watched tv for an hour and a half. Simple. I know he tried to be a good friend. Whereas him, Idk how to read. I can see in his eyes and the way he talks that he’s got some dark secrets behind those eyes. I can see that it’s hard for him to be okay with opening up. But, come on, you can’t just not talk. You can possibly be as apathetic as you pretend to be. and you, you can’t possible care about me the way you say you do. Why me? Why not all the other girls. I hope you all show your colors soon before I go color blind.
I don’t know why but I did it again last night. It was impulsive. It popped into my head and I got up walked to the bath room and did it like it was brushing my teeth. Without flinching or blinking. I ran over the first one a few times then decided it was inadequate and I needed to take advantage of the chance I was taking. So I did it twice more around the same spot. I wasn’t satisfied because the utensil was dull, but it had to do because I had people to see and places to be.
I didn’t lie, I just changed my mind.
This ring I accidently shoplifted from earth bound, well I’ve decided it will be my sanity ring. It says, “wherever you go, there you are”. I thought a lot about what this could mean and I decided that for me it means that the journey is the destination. And as long as I’m wearing it, I’ll remember everything will be okay. And as long as I wear it I’ll know that I’m awake.

I’ve lost access to both my original blogs. I’m using this one to save some of those memories.
