"they say the girl lost her sway
that day" tori amos


03.29.00

okay so technically it is the 30th but i have not gone to bed yet so it is still wednesday dangit. i got all of my old journal entries formatted so they will be readable in the new design now. so everything is all set. right now i am thanking [insert deity of choice] for the mundane task of html coding because it has given my hands something to do and occupied some back part of my brain enough to keep me mostly grounded in reality.

i am coming undone. i am already undone. unglued. unstuck. all i want is death. i am trying to be sane and normal for the protection of the rest of the human population but it is not what i feel. i cannot come up with any concrete reason to keep living. i am tired of hearing "it will get better" and "you can be happy" because that has no meaning to me. what is "happy"? i have never been happy. ever. i doubt that i can ever be happy. and "better". what is that? a temporary condition that just makes the subsequent fall more painful.

i am tired of being told that everything i think and feel and want is wrong. i am tired of being told that it's only been a month how can i expect things to be better after only a month. but it hasn't been a month. it has been over a year since i left home. and yes there is supposedly some sort of finality to my leaving this time, but there is never a "for good". the abuse was supposed to be over "for good" when i left in november 98. but it wasn't. maybe it never will be.

i don't want this life anymore. i don't value it anywhere near enough to fight for it. to try to make it better. i am not interested in doing the work. i don't want better. i want not at all.

all i want is death.
