me, make me think i had something before this nothingness. i am not in that hole any more, taunted by her and desperate to lose this thing they call life. i am here. i have things to do, maybe too many, but they are good things. but the greatest pains for me are memories, and the longer i live the more of them i will have. we are never free of the past.&lt;div

dangling a carrot in front of her face, only to snatch it away as she almost has it. tempting lights, as stars, in front of her eyes, being snuffed out as she reaches. it is enough to make her mind

sleeping, or maybe sitting by idly, laughing at the irony that after all this, it was me, not her. but the moment i ceased to exist, so did she, though i know she doesn't mind.&lt;br /&gt;it was only because i was tired. tired of all the photographs. it is as if much of my life has been a dream, and only the pain was real. i don't know how i got the photographs to prove it though. i don't know how i imagined happiness if i never actually found any, so there must have been an inkling of it somewhere. i was not miserable at the end. if i were, it would be her. and i saw hope. hope that i would make something of me, that i would not live in misery. but what would be the point if i could not hold the things that were precious to me? how could i really live my whole life in apathy or mediocrity? i got tired of running away, but i had nothing left to come back to. the up and down was old, and the smell of age brought moths that ate my soul. pieces of me were crumbling into dust, a dust that should not be seen until i'd been whole. finished. and i was just tired of willing myself to survive a day at a time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

herself. she seems to want to take over sometimes. i can't let her do that. if she loses me, she won't know how to deal with life. i may be her greatest adversary, but i am also the most loyal. i can't fade. for me to fade would bring disaster. if life were to become too easy, she would surely destroy herself in confusion. so today, i will speak for her. she is hurt. the anger of those who are nominally truest is something she must live with again. and even if the anger fades, there is a small scar from the hurt she had. when much is expected, she always tries to accomodate. but bitter and sarcastic remarks cause her to coil up, resist accomodation. when everyone wants something, and what she wants is drowned in attacks, she will begin to disappear. draw into herself. stay in bed. the world is a vampire, sucking her life and she will not fight back for she doesn't see any weapons.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

destruction. because she could not fight against herself if she could not determine which part was enemy and which was self. i was clearly defined, but now...the lines are fading and they say she is

along with clothing shopping today, reminded me of how not-beautiful i feel.  i wish i were beautiful.  and people say i am beautiful inside. but they don't see the inside, they don't know. i'm not really. and "physical beauty doesn't matter" is only to make the not-beautiful ones feel better. i don't think i'm ugly. just average. i'm tired of average. i think my worst fear has always been mediocrity. don't let me be mediocre. kill me first. i would gladly trade boring for dead. i'm tired. un-motivated. i've one thing to look foward to and it is all that makes me not want to give up

type='text'>whine</title><content type='html'>whine, bitch, complain.  why do i feel this way today? i want to make you know, i want to tell you all, and you, too.  i cannot make you know, make you feel, the searing pain, the empty numbing, and you think its lame. you don't want to hear me complain, you want to see the good.  i don't blame you, i think i would too. certainly its more entertaining, the strange anecdotes about green icecream or a little brother's accidental haircut... something, anything to make you smile.  but i use my smiles up, more than my share.  i give them away though they aren't mine to give.  i think i'm in debt for smiles. but i don't know who i borrowed them from.  maybe its like a checking account and i'm going to pay hell for spending more than i have. there is something in my soul, almost in my fingers, that aches to get out onto these keys as i type, and it gets lost.  somewhere between my heart and my brain.  i lose the words, maybe they don't exist. the world has no method to describe this.  i don't know what to call it. i'm angry, bored, indifferent. and you still don't know.  what is the madness in me that causes me to desperately want you, all of you, to feel my life, know my secrets, hear my demons?  maybe i am sure you will leave.  i can prove that i am right and nothing lasts forever.  then i will not wonder.  i will know my pain, exactly how deep it goes.  there is nothing like knowing the knife is there, but not knowing how deep it will plunge.  maybe i think if you don't run away, i will not be alone.  right now i am alone, i am still giving you smiles i don't have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

can't tell anyone how i feel because they don't understand.  i had someone the other day tell me to get over something.  but he doesn't know who i am, or why i can't get over it.  my life is not the one i thought, and i have not come to grips with that yet, i guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if anyone reads this, they should know that this is my dark side.  i don't put my light side here, why should i?  i don't care if people see that side.  i don't want anyone to see my demons.  but i do, too.  i want someone to understand, to feel what i feel, and to still love me.  nobody loves you forever.  everyone goes away in the end.  don't tell me to quit being mellowdramatic.  i will be what i want.  and here i will be catty, or bitchy, if i want.  don't hate me for it.  be glad that i do it here to save our time together from the angst.  you don't know how it consumes me, and i push it back, because i know what you will say.  when it seeps out, its not all i was thinking.  it was only that there was too much, i could not hold it.  my life can never be wonderful.  i was not made for that.  maybe someday there will be good, but i feel too much, always, for the evil to go completely.

type='text'>only once</title><content type='html'>they say you only live once, but i think you live as many times as you kill yourself before you die.  i've had so much on my mind lately, and there's so much that i can't even begin to post.  i haven't even been able to focus and write.  i fear that this post will be extremely long.  but i have the vague feeling that nobody will even care...&lt;br /&gt;i think i am not just one person.  i have felt recently that i am not myself, but that i am only watching myself.  i don't feel like i belong to my body, or even my mind.  its a desperate feeling.  last night, events conspired to flash my old self in front of my eyes.  i saw someone that i had known for a long time, one of my best friends, with whom i now avoid contact.  but that happens with all of my best friends...gimme a while, i'll post about that too.  but it was scary; i am afraid i've completely lost that person, and i don't want to.&lt;br /&gt;there is no way i can communicate to you people what i feel, and i'm not even sure i want to.  i don't know that the world really wants to know, and i don't trust anyone.  recently i think people have talked about  how much better it would be if we were all open with each other.  but i think you all know that isn't possible.  it would be foolish for us to completely trust anyone, much less, everyone.&lt;br /&gt;none of you (being the csc) even know most of me, and i ever tried to explain, the reactions (of course different from everyone) would be unbearable.  i know for a fact i cannot trust anyone.  and thats not paranoia, i promise.  i am very clearheaded and know what i'm talking about.  the truth is, every person that you allow close is one more person that will hurt you.  it is unavoidable.  and the closer you let someone get, the more it will hurt when they turn on you or make a mistake or forget about you.  its just that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

could come to remember friends and times spent over coffee in their younger days.  there is an immortal sadness over the mortality of the human race.  the whole world seems to remember that people have lived, died, and been forgotten.  but you can only find that memory in the quiet places.  the world doesn't want to remember, and the busy-ness often drowns it out.  but if you are still, sometimes you can hear the wind or the music, the trees or the old architecture whispering of the people that are forgotten and the memories that no one has recorded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div

that nothing is truly beautiful without being, in some sense, a little sad or mornful.  i've never heard beautiful happy music, or seen a beautiful happy painting.  some of them may be considered happy, but the really beautiful ones have an element of sadness to them.  for some reason, i've always been depressed in the fall.  i don't know if that is why it is beautiful, or contrary to the

are not better than us.  you are the same as us.  we are all here to live and die and we have no value of our own.  we are all evil.  we are all redeemable.  you have not come to where you are because of you, but because that is where you have been placed.  don't think that you have anything to do with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
