hopes...dreams... everything that could fall by the wayside. too many nights spent letting my mind wander. i spend too much of my day in fantasy. my daydreams pull me out of the world far too often; to the point that it hinders my work and relationships with others.
i justify it by saying that its easier there. strangers dont judge and all the lovely ones' smiles always fall on me. its far more comfortable than the life im living. but i realize that ill never be anything worthwhile until i can get out of my own head. this comfy prison ive made for myself is as fragile as rice paper but im terrified to touch the walls.
there are so many things i want; a life beyond merely going out and getting hammered, some love and comfort to ease the stresses in my mind. but ultimately i need to purge the demons of anxiety and doubt to finish the 60 bazillion projects i have laying around that i hide to ensure no one will ever see them.
its difficult to become a successful writer when you wont let anyone read your work for fear of critique.
my confidence is shot, and i need some relief. i think im going to try seeing a counselor or a head doc. maybe that can help purge some demons.
strange that for as down as all this may seem im actually in a rather good mood at the moment. merely very introspective.
i need to stop trying to impress others, ultimately they dont matter anyhow. i need to find some worth. some strength and whathaveyou to build myself a more hopeful guise.
i need to take control and stop waiting for things to happen and make them happen. waiting and hoping for some shining thing to kindly to me has never worked. having hope is one thing, but we make our own luck. and my factory has been manufacturing shit for the past 25 years.
i play the part of someone of a cheery sort. mostly its forced because hardly anyone cares to listen to someones problems. thats whats nice about blogs and such; those who wish to read can. those that dont care can scurry off. but it just means i bottle everything and let it spurge here or on myspace or LJ etc. etc.
but im tired of merely playing a cheery character, i want to be all sunshine and lollipops for real...
taking stock in ones life is a good thing especially when the person still has some dignity. and it sure feels like i do
sorry for the babbling.
hopefully someday soon i wont have to worry about writing blogs like this.
ive got my four leaf clover just in case.
