I ought to have a stake driven into my heart.


She told my mum in private that she loves me as a daughter; and that whenever the family talk about me, they talk with love. "Meri bahu to hai achhi lekin Sukaina ki baat kuch aur hai".

This just goes completely over my head. I don't feel that love; I feel judgement and derision. And I know in my head that I am wrong. But what do I do about the heart? There was always a certain peace and tranquillity when they came over. It sometimes felt like an exorcism of all the hatred, shahwa and conflict. Mind you, just sometimes. Then again, that usually occurs with most guests.

I am thinking that I am projecting all the hatred and disgust I feel about my own Self onto these other people, good and generous people. Easy targets. They'll forgive me? It doesn't harm them? God knows.

I am 25 years old and no longer have the God-given respite of youthful ignorance and delusion. I can no longer say "I don't know any better". I know better, my mind is clicking away with my super-ego and my id at it 24/7. Where my ego is, I have no clue.

F mentioned "splitting" of a personality in her previous email. That is so apt. I personally have used the words "smashed" and "cracked" but I guess they all describe the same phenomenon. I'll look it up and get back to to you.

And, yes, Tarzan, I am an ace at catastrophizing. Any scary stories or movie scripts you want to make with horrible outcomes, I'd be a good person to come to for ideas.

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."
