Blue shoes

I said, "I'm depressed."
Pause.
I added, "I'm taking pills."
And I think, why is it that taking those two tiny, round, chalky pilules verify my mental state? That being dropped to and picked up from South Wimbledon each week, where I read OK! magazine and then talk rubbish for an hour justifies my telling strangers that I am unbalanced, slowly getting into a self-induced schizophrenia?

I wrote, "Don't say sorry. You can't deal with this. I don't expect you to imagine the pain I am going through."
And I think, isn't this slightly too dramatic, even for me? Isn't this too much of a cry screaming 'please, save me, love me, my only guy friend on whom I am projecting all my desires?' Isn't this just too sad for words? Sad. Disgusting. Dependent. Clingy. Ah ha. There we go. That word fits my actions once again. Damn you. Why couldn't I have developed an ESTJ personality? Me and dad would have gotten on just fine. Or maybe not.

I looked down at my $13 blue shoes. I wasn't going to buy them. Because they were blue. My mother's or father's or aunt's conformity blaring inside my head. Their selling point to me? They were blue corduroy, they looked completely old-school, they had a rubber sole with a cool grip, they fit me (though 1/2 a size big) and were $13, original price $45. And the fact that I wanted to do something crazy, completely unlike me.

These shoes define me. Wanting to be different, screaming to be different and doing almost anything to be it. Even if it doesn't fit. Wearing shoes 1/2 a size bigger even after I realise it. Wearing them in the rain and snow, when they obviously got soaked. Playing football with them, till I realised the irreparable damage to my shoes and stop for the day. Not chucking them out. I'll wear them till they have holes. I will cry when I see the first hole.

My dad is such a bastard. He wrote an email to my mum telling her to ring me everyday. So that is why she rang me last night. No wonder it felt completely surreal. And then I had to burst out crying, after the trauma of the father-daughter row we had yesterday. Talking about Hussain and Ginger. Talk about regression. I'm a bloody 5 year-old. And a 13 year-old. And a 16 year-old.

I found my piece of heaven yesterday. God has probably never heard me praise Him and love Him as much as I did yesterday. The sun was shining, I found the bench ensconced (the word feels right in this context) in this shrubbery and it was respite from all the poncey cyclists and dog-walkers. No one passed me there, I am pretty sure only God and his birds were aware I was there. I have marked it as my territory. With my aura. I saw two birds scavenging in the bushes a way away and I cried. Does walking for 2 1/2 hours make up for 2 weeks of not walking? I doubt it. But my legs are knackered.

I don't think I am an INFP, nor a 4w5. Jung, please define me. The Luscher test is frequently saying that I am repressing my physical and sexual needs, which are causing stress. Well, tell me, dear Luscher, how on Earth do I relieve it, then? My bloody lover is holed up somewhere or shacked up with someone or dead or just ain't bothered. He doesn't believe in a soul mate and he sure as heck doesn't want me for one. So. I shall die a virgin. Unloved. The two are mutually exclusive, by the way.

She said, "Don't you think sex is over-rated?"
I think, she's just 19 years-old and most definitely a virgin. How on Earth would you or I know? Since we've never been made love to. Ever. Anyway, I define sexual giving as the closest thing one can do to merge souls together. Since we can't do that on this plane, at least, we settle for the next best thing.

So I have found the females who are INFJ and INFP. Now for the males. It should be interesting. Since I don't know any boy intimately, I can't say if I have ever met any in the past.

I found this. I wrote it on 19th Oct 2007

It seems like the perfect starting job on paper. Unfortunately I just don’t fit. Face to face interaction and what not. God, I can barely talk to anyone while looking him or her in the eye. I can't get myself up in the morning. I just can’t/don’t do anything. It makes me wonder how the millions of people who suffer from depression but haven’t a choice but to go to work how on earth do they COPE? And how long exactly will I be able to remain like this before I need money?

So, where are you now?

I sing, "Am I where I wanted to be?/ Did I get there easily?/ Did I make a sacrifice?/ Did I make a sharp left when I should have turned right?/ Did I sell off all of my gold?/ Did I wait for love or settle for somebody to hold?"

I am so glad I am not in love. I have been listening to all these songs and the lyrics and boy, they have a shit time; these unrequited lovers, these jilted lovers, these star-crossed lovers. I mean, I have enough drama in my life being myself, without any 'real problems'. Imagine how crazy I would make myself if I ever fell in love? How crazy I would make him, if he fell in love with me as well? Some of these singers just hit you. They know what they are saying. Like Evanescence and 'My Immortal'.

I hate people who feel obliged to say stupid things like "I'll write to you every day, even get a phone card if I have to." Or "Tell me what's up with you. Generally." And then, when I pour out all of my feelings to them, they get frigging scared and back away.

Fuck off and tell the truth, tarts. I don't need you. God takes care of me, even if I don't take care of myself. If you are just feeling guilty or feeling self-important or feeling like you need to fulfil an obligation, don't. I'd rather you insult me and tell me I am a drama queen, a shit bag, a loser, an oxygen thief - especially if you really think I am like that.

There. Now fuck off, all of ya. I am once again deconstructing myself. It's useless being human or 'normal'. Maybe I could become a Sufi. Without the spirituality. So, basically, a hermit. Or a hermitised fucker. God knows why he likes writing stuff like that. Stop it, stop it. Stop it.

I should have guessed that he would want to watch The Darjeeling Limited. The fact that I wanted to watch it was solely because Adrian Brody was in it. And that it was based in India. He's such an artsy fartsy tart. That's my new word. Instead of bastard. But I will still use wanker. And tosspot. And tosser.

Does everyone think life sucks? Then why the hell do we think life will ever get better? Or that we should remain here? Are we doing anyone any favours? No.

The parents

Your Type Four EnneaThought for January 13th— Reflect on your childhood today. As a child, did you believe you were not like your parents? Did you feel that you were not "seen" by your parents and that you did not connect sufficiently with your parents? As an adult, what does this have to do with you now? (The Wisdom of the Enneagram, 182) As I've said myriad times before, these things just slap me in the face with a wet fish most days. I suppose it makes sense that I should send Reiki healing to my relationships with my father and my mother. Haven't really done that for ages. It's too hard sometimes, I choose to ignore and avoid dealing with them mainly because these are the two people I've been connected with since birth. A lot of effort is required in order to 'let things slide'. Living with my dad is hell, and I'm co-creating it on purpose, as part of my desire to annoy, to hurt him the way he hurts me. My mum, well, I guess we'...

Je dois écrire

Je dois écrire . L'ironie est que quand j'avais le temps, je na'i pu pas fair rien . Doesn't matter, I have to write. I keep listening to poets like Keane and Travis and Darren Hayes and I'm here, with the creativity finally bursting forth again, and what's more, the joie de vivre bursting through and I'm not writing and I'm not taking pictures and I'm doing bloody cashier work at Oxfam. I am a swan, I am a seagull that glides and glides. I am the tree, the squirrel. Words are all I have to make myself different from you lot. To make myself lighter, somewhat more worthy. How low is my self esteem that I still believe those falsehoods. I just cannot find people on my wave length. It means I never shall. Or I do and because of my skin colour or because I am behind the Oxfam counter, or because I am in Morden, or London, or the UK, I shall never know. An opera singer. A person who wants to wear kurtis but is scared of going into a desi shop i...

Judgement

Tarot Card Interpretation & Meaning - (20) Judgment Introduction: Judgment can be a card about jumping to conclusions, decisions and judgments. which are too hastily made. If you are prone to such things, this is a clear signal to slow down and give things more thought and to give people "more chances." This can be a real time of spiritual awakening.           General: In general, if you are the one tending to jump to conclusions, you can put a stop to it. If others are making these kinds of decisions about you or about someone you care for, there is really very little you can do, apart from realizing that it's their problem, not yours. Health: This is an important time to let go of the past and any wrongs that you perceive were done to you, particularly if you are dealing with chronic medical issues. Letting go of your need to be right will go a long way toward helping you to feel better. Besides, if ...
