I am afraid that I did the wrong thing by allowing myself to hope. So far it has gotten me nothing but tears and wrenching feelings in my gut.

I wish I'd brought his letters with me. They're more reassuring than anything else. I wish there was a new one soon. I wish it didn't feel like he was just somewhere far away writing them. And sometimes I wonder if all this travelling is just to try and find where he is. Even though I don't want him and never really did.

I'm still terrified you're going to leave me. I never tell you because you said once it made you paranoid. So now I just squirrel it away with everything else. Safer there.

I am so, so deathly afraid of getting help.

I'm even more afraid of letting go.
In the deepest, darkest hour of the night, admit to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write. And ask yourself, the answer, where your heart spreads it roots to the deepest part, Must I write?
If there were no rewards to reap
I certainly would have walked away by now...
...and I still may.

I can't make the shaking stop.

there is, in the end, the letting go.

i want to give up,
but i'm one of those people that never does, ever.

And it kills me to keep picking up & being "fine" day after day.
when really i just want to lay in my bed and play dead.

I can't rid myself of the feeling that I'm not worth it.

'They're right there', I said, 'On the end of your arms'
'No, no', she said impatiently, 'Not those , those are no good anymore. My other hands, the ones I had before, the ones I could touch things with.'" - margaret atwood

That post was one of my most honest ones ever, cause I was having to be honest with myself and my feelings too.

I act like I’m confident and people depend on me being confident.

But I’m really just faking. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing most of the time.

I'm really hurting, I don't think you know how much. Do you wish I would just keep my mouth shut and go with it, even though it hurts me, makes me uncomfortable and I'm not at all OK with it?

Unless a rat is fucking clamped to and swinging from your leg you really aren't going to get the plague. Or rabies. A rat ten feet away is no big fucking deal.
