And it's still a rough day for me. Friday, that is. Last Friday, August 22nd, to be more exact. The day I was assaulted six years ago.
 
It truly never goes away no matter how long it has been. Because it's a part of who I am.
 
I've come a long way. Everyone keeps telling me that. But somehow, I fail to see that. All I see is the same old, same old with some new bits and pieces here and there.
 
I just thought I'd be in a different place by now. Physically, emotionally, mentally, etc.
 
I don't know. I just feel stuck even with the good things in my life right now. I still feel like I have these obstacles; obstacles that will always be there until the day I die.
 
*sigh* And I'm just tired. And back at the point where I'm questioning myself. Do I keep going down my path or do I just settle in where I'm at and just deal?
 
I'm torn over what to do. Because either way, heartache will ensue in some suit or form. Because that is the story of my life. Which is why I freak the hell out when something good actually happens. Shit is always around the corner for me.
 
I think, for now, I'm going to settle in for a bit. See how things go...but try my damndest to keep the door open.

    petitepapillon, i've known a number of women who were attacked. i hate that they've been, just as i hate that you've been, too.

    yes, it's part of you. but i think that something a lot of people don't ever seem to get past is understanding that they control the means and context within which to gain some control over it.

    i think that you have that in you, too.

    Silver ~Yeah, I know. And I'm trying to gain some control over it instead of it having control...which is why I decided to take the job as my old teacher's TA. That's a huge step for me, a person who would rather stay in her comfort zone to avoid getting hurt.
     
    But it's still hard and I still get so very scared that something bad will happen if I let myself get too happy. But again, I'm trying not to let that get to me, especially if I want to live my life freely.

    Queen ~ *hugs* It definitely does not get any easier, especially when you feel like it's following you around every step you take. But I know I'll be okay...at some point. I just gotta keep going, right?

    Life isn't all that it's cracked up to be, but that's life and we just gotta keep going down our paths.
