I can’t pull a single momentous thought out of my head.
Too many fragments of notions and feelings are circulating within my fucking skull.
My inability to reflect on my former self is setting every important connection in my life up for a heart-wrenching failure. I could easily construct a romanticized description of myself as a young girl based off of memories pieced together through my own bias that has developed over the years, but I would rather accept the fact that all of my negativity and anxiety issues have been around since the initial development of my traits. Maybe I’ve always been insecure and anxiety-ridden, and perhaps my goals in life have always been based upon material accomplishments and a productive, high paying ‘career’. I don’t remember my goals as a young girl, and the only thing I wanted to focus on as a young teenager was writing. Obviously my writing skills have become rusty with time, and writing narratives/poetry does not fulfill me anymore.
Have I surpassed the outlet that writing once had to offer? Have I developed more, needing more intricate hobbies to alleviate a restlessness that I’ve had residing deep within me that surpasses my memory? When did I become such a piece of shit yuppie scum? When did I make a career my goal, and place discovering myself through my surroundings second? I shouldn’t care about what it is I choose to do in life, I should only care about the positive aspects in this world that I’ve been so lucky as to get to discover and explore them. All I want to do is learn more about myself through my output, and for some reason my brain has had fun conforming to society’s idea that a “set” future consists of financial stability and a large variety of fixes.
At this point, I don’t even know what my passions are NOR do I know what I am fully capable of. I’m thankful for the creation of Amancio, and from here [which is the absolute lowest point I’ve been in terms of awareness] all I can do is develop his life along with my own.
I wouldn’t mind the struggle. I wouldn’t care about a struggle. Fuck financial stability. Money is the very thing that has been distracting me from my happiness DESPITE the fact that I’ve never considered myself to be the least bit materialistic. I’m going to live my life that way I never thought I wanted to. I don’t care about any one’s idea of ‘success’, in fact I don’t believe in it. Fuck the airforce. I’ll travel on my own terms, and I’m not going to sacrifice anything just to adhere to some bullshit idea that a productive young American should fit a certain look and life style. I could be a cna the rest of my life and be happy. I could be poor and be happy. The happiest moments in my life were when I had the least amount of restrictions and when I had little to no money.
I need to be grateful for every day that I’m here. I don’t really understand death, nor so I have an idea as to what I believe comes after this life, but I know that I need to be excited for every moment regardless of what I’m doing. I’m happy to be here. I’m happy to be sitting at home at 2:15 PM in my pjs looking completely disheveled while typing this.
Thanks,Isaac.
