2003-06-29 & 12:56 a.m. : i just wish i weren't so damned sensitive.
i realized tonight that i can't write in here the way that i used to. for the first time, i am concerned about who might read it. additionally, i realized that this is a metaphor for a lot of my life; i thought that i was making headway, finding my voice, being more straightforward, finding worth within myself. but now i realize that i cannot stand up for myself, that i believe i am worth nothing, and that any voice i thought i had has been swallowed again by the fear that people won't like me. i am miserable and i feel like i will never get better. for the first time in a really really really long time, i feel hopeless. |
