In 9th and 10th grade I cut myself. I stayed up all night on facebook, and was unable to feel anything for other people. I was diagnosed with depression. I took the pills. But then I resolved to live my life naturally- I didn't want to take medicine that altered who I was. Then in 11th grade I finally found someone that made me feel, and I fell in love. I tried so hard to be perfect for him and his family. I made excellent grades, stopped streaking my hair with different colors, and began baking so that I would be prepared for wife and motherhood. We've been together for over a year now and I feel like I sort of lost myself. I didn't know who I was before I met him, but he made me do happy, that it didn't matter. Recently I've missed a lot of school because I've been sick. Which means I've had to stay at home alot. I don't have very many friends since I started devoting myself to my future with my boyfriend.
And now I hate my life. It's so stagnant and boring. I don't want to go to college or have children, but I also don't want to be poor and alone. I feel like I'm being pulled in so many directions by so many different things, that Im not the one living my life. I'm letting other people and things influence me to the point that I feel like what I want doesn't matter. I cry all of the time. I contplate suicide. Im thinking about ending my relationship with the most perfect guy ever. I want to shave my head and try drugs. But I can't- because I'm afraid. I'm afraid of being alone. Every time I'm by myself I cry because I'm filled with fear and self- loathing.
I'm probably just another over privileged white girl who is too self-absorbed. I am beautiful and I know it. Yet I feel so ugly. I have money and a loving family. But I want more and feel so alone. I know my family would stock with me through anything, so I sort of want to go do everything... But I don't want to screw up my chances at a normal life.
I hate where I am in life. I want to break all of my ties and run away to discover myself. But then I think of all the people out there who can't afford those luxuries. So I shut mysf up and try to appreciate what I have...When the truth is- I'm not sure I want any of it. | |
