My day once again was uneventful...I slept till 5...I didnt get anything done but I am well rested..which always helps....I spent alot of time alone tonight...thinking...pondering life...my exsistance...who I am...who I could be...who I want to be...what I want from others...what others want from me...I know I want to be me...just not in this dark hole I've dug for myself...it has taken me years to get where I am...years of selfdestruction....self abuse...most of all I allowed myself to regress back to childhood in so many ways...I grew up but fell back into childhood rituals...I taught myself to hate and distrust people...to push people away if they got to close...I took on the role of mother because I thought I was supposed to but secretly hated myself for be a "typical" girl....I as a women am supposed to be mother, caregiver, provider, nurturer, selfless...I am not these things...nor will I ever be...I have to except that and so do the people around me...I am and can be so many other things...better things...all though I kick myself out of frustration alot of the time because I am not a "typical" girl with "typical" teenage problems...I wouldnt give up the things I am to become "typical"...when people judge me for who I am...what I choose....what I feel...it really makes me reivaluate myself...sometimes I start to believe with other people say...if you hear it enought you start to believe it...should I have to pretend to be something I am not because someone else isnt going to like it?....should I keep things from people because they wont agree with my choice?...I dont think so...we should never be something we arent...or change who we are because someone else says so!...we are such a weak society damnit!!!...it hurts to be judged and looked down upon because of something you are...but I have decided I dont care anymore...I am who I am...like it or leave it!...I am surrounded by people that dont believe that....people are constantly trying to change me....get a job...go to school....believe in god...do something with your time....shave your legs...paint your nails...wear pretty girlie clothes...lose weight...be happy...dont be so negative...blah blah blah !!...why the hell would I want to be those things?...like everyone else...?....my spirit would be lost if I was what others wanted...but I guess I should stop my ranting and raving and get my sorry ass to bed!...goodnight (it's 7am) ha.....
