You know what the problem is with you? Why I dont answer, why I have decided to seriously ignore you from now on. You dont get it. You have no clue what love is, or how to love, or even how to be loved. Love is support… and thats something you dont realize, never have, and I doubt ever will. You want me to fix all these things in my life that you think need to be fixed, and while I may agree with some of those things, you just leave me out here without a paddle in a boat built for two and expect me to solve it all myself. Because its My life, I should be able to do it on My own, its not Your job to fix Me. And you are right… it isnt your job, nor do I want you to, or expect you to. But something I do expect… is your support. Your driving force behind me. So much negativity, so much distance. All I want is to know your behind me. To feel the weight of you behind me, so I know that if I fall… which I do… that I have you to fall back on.
The hugest difference? Thats it. Never have I met anyone who… treats me this way… supports me, is there for me, tells me I Can do this, I Need to do it, and they wont let me lose sight of any of these things I want. They dont do it for me, theres no babying in this process, theres no handholding, or anything like that. Its mere support. Its the little push that I think almost everyone needs. The confidence, that sometimes you cant pull out of yourself. Sometimes you need someone else to remind you that you’re alright, things are alright, and that you Will be okay and Will do this.
I love that some people in my life have offered this to me. Its weird… to feel that feeling. To not be told, you Have to do this, get it right, grow up and do things yourself, and Then… Then I will have you, or accept you. To be accepted for everything I am, and more importantly, everything I’m Not. And the funny thing is… that little bit of confidence that they have bestowed on me, the pushing and the “you can and will do this”, the ” I will always be here to help you remember what your working for “, the ” I’m not going to let you give up “…. have made me go so much farther in the last year than I have in the last 4… or even the last 22 years. So many people have pushed me down, have told me I cant, or I wont, or to figure it out on my own… I didnt know how to do it on my own. Well I guess thats not true. I do know how to, but my confidence is so… small. And having that built up by the greatness of people around me, has done wonders for my motivation to succeed, to strive to get what I want, to make myself better because not only do I know I can be a better person, the people around me know I can and want me to go as far as I can go. And they help make me a better person.
So the drinking has… gotten a little bit out of control again. Ive made some mistakes, had some nights that I wish I didnt remember, and nights that I honestly… dont remember. Sigh…. but I have realized that Ive let it start slipping. AA is where I think I am headed again at the moment. I honestly can admit that yes, I have an issue with alcohol. Once I start, one shot, and thats it, game over. I just cant stop. So it becomes shot, after shot, after shot, after shot….. Until I wake up the next morning feeling like utter shit and wondering what the fuck happened the night before. Hearing stories that are pretty embarrassing to say the least, and feeling guilty for acting that way. I think I was good until things just got too hard to handle again. Not really an excuse, but facts are facts, thats what happened. I just feel so stuck right now, stagnant, like I am not going anywhere in my life at the moment. I had to leave school because of this stupid Heart problem and Cancer bullshit… My job let me go because I was in and out of the hospital so much. So I just started partying away because I had no motivation for much else. But now, with the help of someone, I have a plan B. It really blows, I am not going to lie, that I have to put Diagnostic Ultrasound on the backburner for the moment… I shed a lot of tears when I realized that last week. It really is my dream… Its what I want more than anything right now. To get my AA, to go to SU and get my bachelors, to eat, breathe, sleep, and live Diagnostics. I love it. But this starting and stopping school, being stuck at my parents house who dont want me here, and going around in circles almost, just is making things worse. So, for now, its on the shelf. BUT… I WILL come back to it. Someone has made me realize that, and made certain that it Will happen, no matter what. I will do it someday… hopefully soon. So for now I am starting school to become a Dental Assistant. Its quick, easier, and school is very flexible so if I need to stop for my health I can and will be able to come back exactly where I left off. The job is a really good one too, great pay, flexibility, great health insurance, which is something I definatly can not live without. So I figure, get done with school in 6 months-9 months, get a job where I extern, work for a year and save money so I can move out and make my loan payments. Hopefully by then all this bullshit will be figured out. I am meeting my new oncologist in August and thinking I will schedule my hyseterectomy in late September, early October. 4 weeks recovery for that and back to school to finish up. Sigh… in writing everything seems so easy… but I know better. Writing doesnt mean it will happen that way. I really hope it does though.
Sigh alright, done for now.
Feeling a little better….
Dont ask for an easier life, ask for the strength to get through the one you have
