Life isn't all Ha Ha Hee Hee

My black dog Barney returns...

And for a while, it was comforting to feel like this again. Contentment being such an alien emotion for me. He wreaks havoc over my brain. My hands shake and my faith falters all over again. After having sworn to convert. He has taken over completely. My lines of communion are severed. I cannot see; I cannot hear, I cannot feel. Woe is me.

Keeping Mum

She cast aside the veil today to show me what hurts her mosts, what worries her most, what she fears the most. It's made me shake. I worry her the most. And that worries me the most. The reality is: I am failing miserably. All ways are shut. I'm stuck on a strange bed, making words out of letters and still making no sense.

Reminder

And Allah says, "But you may dislike something which is good for you, and you may like something which is bad for you. Allah knows while you do not know".

Ides of September

It's a crappy month, though don't ask me why. The good thing about fasting in Ramadhan is that it highlights the emptiness of my life and existence. It also highlights that even if I were to get a job, further education or a marriage, it would still all be empty.

My non-relationship with my father would be the same, unimproved. My relationship with my mother, the same or even faltering. My self-esteem - now when was the last time I had it?

Being

I am the same as I was when I was four. The same when I was eight. The same when I was nine. The same when I was eleven. There is also a stranger inside of me, who scares me because I do not know who she is and why she is here and where she comes from. I don't know how far over the edge she is willing to lead me. I do not even know if it is a 'she'. My hands are in perpetual seizure. My thoughts have no anchor; they fly all over the place like the keys in Harry Potter. And that makes my speech slow. And when the thoughts are slow, like the goblins in Harry Potter, my speech is slower. And my being is whithered away.

And I can't see, hear, feel or know.

I fail.

Mes pleindres

Ils ne sont pas contre Vous, mon Dieu, ils sont contre moi. Seulement contre moi. C'est moi qui a fait ça. C'est moi qui insiste de continuer rater. Vous écoutez tout, Vous savez tout, Vous comprenez tout. C'est moi qui est toujours le pire, n'importe quoi je fais. Et Vous, Vous est gentil et généreux. Et moi, je me suis completement perdue. Pour toujours, n'est-ce pas? Toujours les mêmes éspaces dans l'âme, dans le coeur; la révisitation des choses qui j'ai pensé échappées. La manque de l'éspoir qui me guide dans l'enfer. Ma point de vue completement sans évidence. Mon être, cassé et torturé. Moi, je n'fait pas sens, la vie non plus.

Ou est la lumière Vous avez promis?

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 ...
