Being depressed sucks.
Not being able to tell the people you love and just want to help you, sucks too.
Because they didn't do it, but they don't understand it. No one understands what I feel when I see curly brown hair or when my friends say "my mom does this, it's so annoying" or "she bought me this for my birthday" and all I can do is sit there and force a smile in agreement.

She used to borrow my earrings and wear my perfume, and it always ticked me off. I would get so silently hot headed when the pair I wanted to wear was missing, and in a way, I started to do that to my sister, which just made it worse. I don't even know why it bugged me so much. Now thinking about it, it was so silly. I wish she could still borrow my earrings-they lay on my dresser collecting dust, because I have no drive to wear them, I don't feel special anymore. She always made me feel special, especially when she wanted to be like me and smell like me. We were close and now she's dead.

I thought I wasn't mad at God until I pulled into my old church parkinglot last week and was overcome with so much pain and anger. I think, if there is a God, why didn't he save my mother? What did she do to deserve such a torching death? And why did God save that annoying 60 year old woman who would not shut up about her blessings on the phone ( but less in a humble way and more in a "yeah, I am the best and I'm not surprised because I am super cocky anyways way) while sipping on her fucking mocha latte and didn't tip me? I try not to think about where she could be, I know everyone wants to think she is in heaven, she was a christian, but I still kind of think she is inbetween, like she's watching over me. Sometimes I swear I'm being guarded by some super natural being.

Once, I thought I saw her at a clothing store. My immediate thought was to run to her and embrace her tightly. She sounded like my mother and from the back looked exactly like her, but you could tell, it wasn't her. Her eyes were baggy and she smirked like a slutty old tanning bad nascar watching red neck who drinks too much beer.

I could have had so many more memories with her. I get my wisdom teeth out soon, and she won't be here to tend to me and change out the goze in my mouth or make me soup or give me my meds. She doesn't ask how school is or if I'm going to be home late, I guess I just expect it when get in my car or am about to leave the house. Sometimes I pretend she does ask and I try to think of unique response, or even smart ass ones that I would reply with just to make her smile.

Something like..normal.


It's easier to hide how you feel when you're around people that don't know..they just pass you by on the street or smile at you when your at a party. These people are the easiest to pretend around, for all they know, you always look exhausted or out of it.

It hurts to see moms with their daughters. It hurts so damn much, and all I have are these pictures now.

I guess I'd describe this feeling somewhere between a really bad breakup and almost getting into a major car accident that you missed by an inch.

Maybe I shouldn't tell everyone about how I feel, but what does it matter? I'd rather feel something than walked around holding it in. I'd rather people know I'm just as confused as them, then as held together as we all pretend.

Today felt so normal, this weekend felt so normal. Maybe that's why I freaked. I hadn't crossed paths with normal in a long time.

I was laying there with Matthias, Saturday night, on the couch at his friend's apartment and I wasn't thinking about tomorrow or what happened yesterday or my mom or school or anything like that. I was just there. Smiling. Holding my man's hand. And being kissed on the forehead so treasuredly ( not a word..but that's how it felt). And today I was cleaning with my dad-we were actually working together and getting along. We were laughing and making lunch and playing with the dogs and it just felt, right..for once.

Tonight I went through old boxes of pictures of us as I grew up. Seeing my mother so young reminded me of myself. She must have been so unsure and yet she was willing to go all the way with anything and she certainly didn't quit. Alas, I am a quitter. I seem to quit a lot of things over the years, I'm awfully bad at finishing and sticking to goals. I hate to say it, but I need someone to encourage me a long; I think I'm just made that way, kind of like the rain, I only do so much and you either accept it or shelter yourself from it

I haven't wrote in so long, it feels good to for once.


I can't wait for this weekend, I can't wait to see the love of my life. I can't wait to hold his hand and kiss him....oh, dear god, I am a goner. I've never been so attached to someone in my life, but Matthias is the type of guy I have always dreamt of being attached to, after all he has turned me into mush. I have so many places I want to show him and people for him to meet, but that can't happen in just one weekend, I suppose.

The Beginning





these are some pictures I took one early morning. It had been raining all night and this was the beautiful morning dew. <3
