Same shit, new year....?

Add to Memories Share this!

I could've made new year's resolutions like most everyone else. I didn't though. Why? What's the point? I always end up dissapointing myself. "I'm gonna do this, I wanna do that, blah blah blah." Following through on my promises to myself has never been one of my strongest assets. I think it's because, no matter how hard I try to, I can't let go of that part of me that doesn't want to be selfish and do things for myself. Will I ever? Who knows at this point in time.

I think I may have resolved one small internal battle, however. One that very few people may not have been aware that I was grappling with. Only because I never wanted to sensationalize it in any way.

As much as the idea intrigued me for part of the summer and throughout most of the fall, I've decided against going into wrestling training. I like to consider myself good friends with a couple of people who are going through just that, and I respect the hell out of them for going through it and living their dreams. I even had an extensive talk with one of them one night ofer Yahoo about the subject, asking her stupid question and for her advice and imput. I just can't picture myself existing in a world where physical pain is the norm, where the lines between fantasy (for lack of a better term) and reality seem to blur somewhere in the middle. I know that I'm most likely wrong about my perception of things, but that's how I see it at this moment in time.

I'm very far from perfect. I have character flaws like everyone else; I'm absent-minded, sensitive, a procrastinator. I'm starting to learn how to rewire my brain though, to accept myself as I am. I'm also learning to focus more on my GOOD qualities rather than the negative ones. It's still a work in progress, but so far so good (knock on wood).

Blah. That's all the brainpower I can muster to give voice to my recent innermost thoughts. Later, loves! <3

Oops, I verbally vomited....

Add to Memories Share this!
TWLOHA
It's hard to keep up a chipper, happy-go-lucky front when you feel anything but.

I've tried to though, for the sake of everyone else's well-being. I want to be the one to cheer people up whenever they're feeling sad or angry. However, I can no longer hold back. I need to vent, or else I may end up imploding.

I'm gonna take the time now to apologize in advance if any of the following sounds like the same regurgitated BS I've spewed in the past. To those who have known me for awhile, you know what I peak of.

ANYWAYS....

I am at a crossroads in my life and I simply don't know which way to go.

I work at a job which I don't particularly like. I can handle the job itself; it's some of the people I work with that make it somewhat difficult at times. But after working there for over seven years, it pays well enough to the point where my husband and I can live fairly comfortable lives. I have learned to tune out the negative bullshit (which, if I let it get to me, tends to permeate my spirit) and do my job. I feel lonely there for the most part, but I'm there to work, not to stir up drama right?

Ever since I was a little girl, I've always stated that I wanted to work with animals when I grew up. However, with each passing year my passion to want to do that has waned. I'm not even sure if it's still there anymore. I'm 25 years old. The economy is still in the crapper as I type this. Should I still follow a fading childhood dream or do something else that will guarantee myself, my husband and whatever children we may have financial security?

And what the hell do you do when you're told by two good friends that you may have "potential" at something else entirely?

This third thing is an idea that I've never even begun to entertain, even in my wildest dreams. But the seed was planted. I rattled it around in my brain. I did some online research. Rattled it around in my brain some more. Thought about how I was gonna bring this up to Dave.

Then I had a realization.

I wouldn't even be doing this if it weren't for said friends telling me I may have potential. Which got me to thinking: "Am I going through all this because I REALLY want to do it? Or is it only because I was told by others that I could possibly do it?"

I believe the latter to be true.

There are a few things about me that you need to know:

I am almost always unsure of what I should do. Cos with just about every decision I make, I take into account how others may be affected. If I deem making a certain choice to be too selfish, I back away from it. I do not live for myself. I live for others. Cos in the end, they are what matter most to me.

I find it hard for me to try and better myself both physically and mentally. Cos I get the feeling that either way, people will still love me. So why bother trying? (this ties in with me living for others and not myself)

I am weary of seeking professional help. I do not waish to become dependent on prescription medication to make me better. And I do not want to waste my money venting to someone who could quite frankly care less about how I feel. Cos knowing my general luck, I would get stuck with that kind of person.

So this is where I stand as we speak. Should I stay where it is stagnant yet safe? Do I try to rediscover a passion that may or may not still be in my heart? Or do I take the ultimate chance and step outside my comfort zone, with no visible safety net whatsoever?

Given my personality traits, this is not an easy choice to make. But a choice needs to be made soon. I'm not getting any younger, you know?

OK, I'm done vomiting.

Now will someone kindly get me a rag so I can clean up this god awful mess?? =P

Title: Even In Death

Rights: All characters mentioned in this story belong to themselves. The song "Even In Death" belongs to Evanescence
Rating: I don't know, it's sad sad sad so I guess....PG-13??
Summary: Ok this is my very first foray into writing fan fiction. I was inspired by the aforementioned song and decided to write a short story based around it. I hope you enjoy.

P.S. I welcome any and all constructive criticism. I would like to see where I can improve as far as my writing style is concerned.
Please be gentle, I have a low threshold for pain! )

What Kind of Soul Are You?

Add to Memories Share this!
stfu
You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time.
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult.

You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you are brimming with passion that you keep hidden.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.

Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul

I've been in this inexplicable funk since sometime last week. As a result it's stunted any sort of progress on my little pet project. And it's not just that; ever since I've downloaded GIMP, I've only made a few banners and such and that's it. My creative juices feel drained at this moment in time. I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe I need to be pressured...? There have been times when some of my most brilliant works have been....harassed out of me.

QUICK, SOMEONE POKE ME IN THE ASS WITH A CATTLE PROD!

........ok, that was kind of a weird outburst, even by my standards o.O

But anyways, yep that's all I gotta say 'bout that!

Are You Disturbingly Profound or Profoundly Disturbing?

Add to Memories Share this!
stfu
You Are Disturbingly Profound
You're contemplative, thoughtful, and very intense.

Taking time to figure out the meaning of life is a priority for you.

Because you're so introspective, you often react in ways that surprise people.

No one can really understand how you are on the inside... and that disturbs them.

You tend to be loving and playful around your family and friends.

Ugh....I was on such a roll last Friday (or was it Saturday...?) when I started my aformentioned one-shot songfic. Now it seems as though I've hit a snag. Blah. My muse ran away methinks. Now I must go hunt it down :P

But fear not, I PROMISE I'll try to finish. I mean it's not like I'm writing a novel.....right??

You Are Country Music
You are friendly, down to earth, and fairly conservative.

You are true to your friends and your upbringing. Change is hard for you.

But beneath your old fashioned attitude, you are expressive and artistic in your own way.

Very few people can express pain and pleasure as eloquently as you can.

You Are a Lynx
You are a quiet observer of the world around you. Your wisdom comes from listening carefully.
You've always been extra sensitive and aware. And it's made it difficult for you to fit in.

You see past people's outward personas. You are able to penetrate a stranger's soul.
What you've learned about people is both beautiful and ugly. And you keep these secrets to yourself.
