The Truth of Today

I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone, explain myself to anyone, feel anything for anyone, give a shit about anything or make any sense whatsoever. I don't want to see people I talk to or talk to people I see or feel anything for people I see or talk to. I don't want to make sense of myself, my moods, my life, who you are in relation to me or what the fuck I mean when I say XYZ. I want everyone to go away.

This is not a good feeling. I haven't felt like this in a while. I am hoping it is a phase I will get over. Quickly. Like in minutes. Seconds would be better but I am not holding my breath.

Today was shit. Job bullshit times 10. Feeling used, under-compensated, irritated and completely ready to bail on this sinking ship. Friendships on the fritz. Too much on my mind and no readily available answers. I feel like throwing myself on the floor for a hissy fit. A wailing, crying, screaming fit. It might make me feel a lot better. Maybe I will find my faith, rubbed into the dirty carpet.

I don't want to date anyone, commit to anyone, get married, settle down, go through the bullshit of swaping life stories via email. I don't want to call anyone back. I don't have the energy. I don't have the interest. I am too worn out, bruised up, jaded and distrustful. I do not feel bold enough to risk the small amount of safety I have built up.

I like my cats, my dog, my books and tea. Sometimes I like long walks and usually I like sitting by the ocean in solitude and quiet. I like being alone. Alone is good. Not forever. Just for now.

You, My Dear Shaunessy, are the Lloyd Dobler of emotional complexity and neuroses... and I love you for that...

When I feel like this, the only solution is to turn off the phone, crank the chick tunes, run yourself a hot bath, and drink chardonnay right out of the bottle...the whole bottle.

Hope you're feeling better :)
