I keep thinking that everything I'm doing, that everything I have done is all for naught.
 
I think I'm at that point again where I'm losing my way and this is probably a huge part of why I'm so damn depressed.
 
I just feel this huge void coming my way.
 
But I can't help but wonder, would I be feeling the same way if I had gone on to grad school and gotten my Masters in creative writing? Is what I'm feeling now something I would've felt after grad school?
 
Yes and yes. And that's what I hate the most. Because I know if I were to hope into grad school now, I'd be putting off the unavoidable; this void that is soon to come my way and turn my world upside down.
 
I just hate not knowing, not having something to cling to. I know what I want, but I also know I need something stable to live.
 
I just want that something to give some peace of mind. Because I'm just so close to just letting go and letting this void eat me alive.

    hello petite, I always like to see you when you come back, been a while.

    now can I ask, why is it you look back when you are walking forward??? why is it when you look back and then look forward you lose courage? lose sight? you started looking forward to go somewhere, that always changes, lifes a journey not a destination, as long as we understand that life changes and we are walking forward then looking back and wondering isn't going to really help us sometimes.

    Hindsight is only helpful when learning a lesson, we cannot know the lesson until we come to it, walk past it, and it smacks us in the head... (lol)

    Don't fret so much, maybe look at your motivations right now, see whats motivating your second thoughts? its not a closed door, the road doesn't disappear just because you took a left or whatever, its still there, its just a matter of choice.

    BTW so nice to see you again!

    Lucy ~ I know what you're saying because believe me I've been told not to look back, keep looking forward, and various words/phrases of optimism and what have you.
     
    The problem is I don't feel like I'm moving forward; I feel stuck in my past. Plus, when you've grown up only knowing, seeing, and being treated like shit, it's kinda all you know and all you really look forward to.
     
    And it's probably my way of not getting my hopes up because I've had them smashed too many times before. And it hurts too damn much.
     
    Queen ~ Yes, it sucks and I hate it and everything. And I'm still hanging around, but it's getting harder and harder to keep hanging on. I actually feel like I'm turning into a machine or something.
     
    Anonymous ~ I get told that a lot. It's just hard to see otherwise when it feels like for the umpteenth time, life is going to hell in a hand basket.
     
    Lidia ~ I'm trying to. I really am. But as I said above to Queen, I really do feel like I'm turning into a machine that doesn't care and would rather just get by.

    Silver ~ I know. And I'm sorry for being a pain. It's just how I am when I get like this.
     
    I don't really expect anyone to go out of their way to say stuff on entries like these.  I guess I just need to get it all out or whatever so it's not stuck in my head. But I do appreciate the comments you and the others have left me. So thank you. *hugs*
  • silverwhisper said on Apr 22, 2008....
    no, please don't apologize--it's what's on your mind and you should get it out--that's why most folks are here at SC in the first place, isn't it? :>

    [massive hug]

    i keep hoping i'll think of the right thing to say, you know? maybe i'll finally find it after a while?

    Silver ~ *hugs* I'm sure you'll find whatever it is you want to say soon enough. Just don't strain your brain or something, okay? : )
