I've been dreaming this week about the people that didn't stick by me. In some of the dreams I'm full of rage and they're being so cruel. In some of the dreams things are normal like they would've been a year, two years, three years ago...
I have all this anger and unfinished business with all of them, but if one of them showed up at my door today, all I would do is make jokes and chit chat about what they've been up to. Movement is hard without a spine.
One of my biggest phobias right now is running into one of them (two in particular) on the rare occasions I DO leave my home.I was trying on clothes yesterday... it's almost unbelievable how big my body is getting. . . I guess when I stopped leaving my room, I forfeited my metabolism. I haven't been working, going to school, or socializing. I wish I could say "at least I'm getting some writing/drawing done." but I'm not. I have very little creativity.
I was thinking about how Zach used to be annoyed with how "bubbly" I was... If he saw me now I don't think he would have that complaint.
If I have virtually no friends, no job, no impact on the world around me, do I technically exist? At the moment, if I were to say drop dead, I can think of only three people whose lives would see any impact. ...and I have less and less contact with even those people. I don't even feel that compelled to change any of this... but I just know it's all wrong.
I know I have a palace of a home compared to most of the people in the world.
I know that if I'm overweight it's because I'm lucky enough to be overfed and lazy, a luxury not afforded to most of the people in the world. I know that many people lose the ones close to them through unspeakable deaths and pains... and I have the luxury of losing them primarily through emotional differences...
That doesn't change how I feel either though. In fact nothing seems to. I really wish there was some magical way I could just...download a different personality into this vessel I waddle around in. Some better version of me. Maybe I'll find a way to do that. If not, that might be a neat story to write.
