I woke up today and everything’s fine. I’m eating my breakfast - oats and muesli with cinnamon and a chopped banana, drizzled with honey and yogurt - and everything is back to normal again. I have to stop doing that. Because of my recent apathy, it seems that any emotions that I may have and be suppressing tend to explode at inconvenient times. I guess my body needs a way to release all that crazy. I’m still pissed though. I keep smiling and I keep trying but the truth is that I don’t want anything to do with any of them. I miss my solitude. Only duty propels me now.

It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged and I guess part of it was that I was too busy to write but the other part was probably that I was too focused on not thinking about it. “Just don’t think about.” That’s been my motto for the last five months.

The honest truth is that I’m scared, if not terrified, of failure. It stems from my past - a childhood spent honing my own expectations, raising the bar, feeding my pride. Before I knew it, I had stopped trying and stopped wanting. I had resigned myself to a life of discontent. I hate investing in anything for this very reason - my future, my present, myself. I don’t trust myself to succeed. It just isn’t worth it. Most of the time, I suppress these thoughts; I cling tight to my motto - “just don’t think about it”. That’s the only way I can function now. Once my mind begins to churn over all the things that I need to do, the expectations I need to live up to, the panic rises in me and threatens to swallow me whole. The smallest things begin to seem impossible, unthinkable. I can’t do anything right. I’m never good enough.

I miss you. I call out to you. But all I hear is silence, empty and cold.

Sometimes I think to myself that there’s no point in anything if I don’t hate myself.
