I don't even know how to post what's really going on in my head without coming across looney. I just don't even know what to say anymore.
I feel so alone. I don't have the support one should normally have from family. The only family that does support me lives far away.
I'm walking distance from immediate family and that alone makes me want to cringe. I've always wanted to be close with my family. Perhaps that is my first mistake. I tell ya, it just kills me how much bickering and fighting goes on in my family. There is more fighting than anything else. Today is my nephew's birthday and I can't even wish him a happy birthday knowing that the effort will just go in vain. I don't know why I have tried so hard for all these years to maintain any sort of peace. My sister wants all the attention, well she can have it now. It's all hers.
I can't seem to get the image of the Grand Canyon out of my mind.
I want to skip work tomorrow and just for a long drive and do a Thelma/Louise jump. Why not? Life seems so dreary lately anyway. No matter how hard I try either in this way or that, seems it's always wrong and I'm just upsetting one person or another anyway.
I do want to wipe out the existence of who I have always been... and start over. Is that even possible? Is it ok to change a name without getting married? Truly I am not happy and I don't know what to do. I feel so stuck in so many ways, it's pathetic. I only let others down all the time anyway. I'm sorry y'all for that. Seems the harder I try, the more I let everyone down.
I may be helping one person over here, but I've left another over there... I can't seem to do anything right. It's very upsetting and I feel I only hear about all my failures instead of anything good. So why the hell am I still here then? I'm surprised no one has shot me dead. (pathetic laugh)
I think I'll go try dreaming and see if I may get my mind in a different direction. I have always been positive and optimistic... so here's a view into my dark side. Sorry again. But hey, don't we all have one? We just hide it. Disguise it. It's evil/bad. Not how we're supposed to be. Well tonight I'm being super open and honest.
Oh and by the way, no immediate family in Mesa has access to this site any longer.
This is totally private and only a small few have the privilege of viewing... so hence my willingness to open up.
G'nite.

We are serious. I even talked to my mom & sister about it and they think you need to come out here, too.
Give it some SERIOUS thought.

What the heckety bleepedy bleep is going on there?
Okay, here is my generic advice, because I don't know what this is all about.
1. You are not alone. Family stupidness is extremely common, but it is magnified by reaction. You cannot control other people acting like asses (I'm not saying anyone here is an ass, by the way, because I just don't know) but you absolutely do control your own response and reaction. They cannot make you feel like shit unless you allow them to do so. They cannot argue unless you argue back (and passive aggressive responses count as arguing back in my book).
2. Everyday, every person, every activity, everything has a positive and negative. We can control our emotions and whether or not we feel like shit or great based on which half we want to concentrate on.
3. Everyone concentrates on the shitty parts sometimes. No big deal. Don't make a habit of it, move on and it will work out.
4. Today is a great day to make a new beginning. Buddha or somebody else really wise (I forget) said something like all that matters is your intention in this moment. So, think about who you want to be and there you are.
Anyway, I hope you feel better! You deserve to be happy.
