2.
At times I feel as though I can't not say what I wish to speak. I am prone to properness and mystery-but only because the world makes me think I should be. What's so wrong with being depressed? Especially about losing a parent. Losing a best friend. Losing your inspiration. People make me feel like I should be strong and I should let go. Maybe they're right, but is there really a proper way to go about these things? I can't get a new mother, and I can't bring her back. I can't go back. I put it off for two years. And here I am now, crying myself to sleep every night and continually thinking "this isn't fair" "what am I supposed to do?" "how can I possibly keep going?". All I think about it is the emptiness that now takes over the rooms in my heart. Her face, her hair, her laugh, and soft soft hands. I think about when she used to bring me candy from the store after she got off work-and when I was little that was the best surprise ever. I think about 8th grade and talking to her on the way to school about boys and my friends and all the things I wanted to do when I grew up. I think of all those times she was there for me when I was playing a game of soccer or getting an award in girl scouts, and when my dog died and she just held me tightly like a mother should. I think about the beeping in the hospital and the nurses going in out of her room. I think of the day we talked about death and how she wasn't going to do anything about preventing it anymore. I think about the last time I heard her talk and she told me she loved me very much. And now, two years later I think about her absence in her and my father's life. The lack there of at the dinner table and the comments that are never said in conversation from her end. I think about how I can't call her how I can't talk to her how I can't stare at her when she sleeps because I used as a kid, just so she could see me smiling the moment she opened her eyes. Sometimes I can't breathe and I feel numb all over. I could stare at the wall for hours stuck in euphoria with her on the beach. I've never heard of anyone being so depressed, maybe they just tuck it away like I did these past two years. It's mostly rough when my girl friends talk about their moms and I'm around families that are still whole and happy. I don't know that anything could ever make me feel happy again, and I know many times I've come close to that, but I gently when I think about her I am pulled back into that dark place that I know so well. I guess I like it so much because it's the only way I feel connected to her-because now, there are no new memories, no real way of bringing her up. I know that people are worried, but what do you expect me to do? This isn't a marathon to feel better or forget it all together. I'm not racing to finish. And it's not like I am torturing myself on purpose. I tried to fill this major hole with everything else, but nothing seems to fit. I don't want to be on anti depressants and telling some stranger how I feel wouldn't do much. I feel like I am constantly hyperventilating for happiness to reach me...to save me.

the glass is half full
I'm thinking I don't want this blog to be depressing, nor do I want to be like..super positive. I just want it to be more...inspiring. I don't want to go back and read these things and feel sorry for myself.
Last night Matty and I had a really good talk. I love it when we have deep talks. He makes me feel like myself and so comfortable. We went to the river and sat there just staring at the water and I kept thinking about what's going to happen in the future, but then I stopped myself- I want to enjoy right now and not later.
I want to keep pursuing photography and I'm going to stop say "but...blah blah blah (insert lame excuse here)". I want to find time to read, I truly love to read and get so addicted that I don't even notice anything else around me. I miss making things out of anything. I miss painting. I miss that smile I used to have on my face all the time.
The 28th is coming up soon. It doesn't feel like 2 years. It feels like..two minutes. Maybe two seconds.
She was not perfect, but she was the perfect mom for me. There is a special bond that daughters share with their mothers. I looked up to her so much, and I looked forward to going to college and receiving "I miss you so much letters" and boxes of surprises. She was just like that, and I hope if I ever have a daughter that I can do that for her. I wish I was half as pretty as her, I mean I look like her, but she's just like naturally beautiful to me. This is so hard for me. I don't want people to worry, and I don't want my dad to be sad either. I just want to feel better- have a peace of mind. It's tough and people say I make it look so easy, but a day doesn't go by that I don't think about her, and the mark she's left on my life and so many others. She shared what she had and that was love and kindness. I only hope to be as wonderful as she was someday to the people around me.

Bang Bang
I feel as though I am losing the only person left on this planet that knows me better than I know myself. The person who knows I hate pickles and likes cheap beer. When I'm lying or hiding something. Knows when I am depressed and when I am truly happy.
But, if she talked to me like I wasn't her little sister, she would know I have let go of so many things she claims I hold on to. She says she lets go, but the difference between us is, I accept and let go and she pushes it away and moves forward. She can't talk about her mom or even confront her. And I know that hurts her, it hurts me to know she hides it and pretends its not what it is.
I thought about packing my things up and just driving. I don't know where I would drive to but anywhere would be nice. I could meet new people and get a little apartment and learn to cook italian and work in a little cafe and pretend I am someone else. But, I don't want to hurt the people around me and I don't want to run.
I keep thinking "What the fuck am I going to do with my life?" *sigh*
I have no drive to do anything at the moment, but that's because I have no set goal to reach. I think I'm too honest with myself when I say things like that. Cause really, my life is going to shit. What do I have to show for it? I work and I sleep and I visit my boyfriend and I have friends that I drink and hang out with. I haven't done anything exciting. I'm not changing the world or whatever. I used to be so involved and now it's nothing. I'm just here taking up space and wasting time.
I keep telling Matt that I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him- but what do I have to contribute? I'm worried. I'm worried I won't be a good wife or get a good job or ever leave tennessee or be a great mom if I decided to have kids. I'm so confused. I want to plan, but I don't. I want to be impulsive, but I shouldn't. Maybe this is apart of growing up, but I wish that I had some type of plan that made me feel good and made me come a live. I wish I could desperately talk to my mother about all of this. She would know what to do. I finally feel like my eyes are open, and I want to talk to her about that, but I can't. It's too late. And my dad wouldn't understand. My family wouldn't. A lot of my friends wouldn't. And I don't want to worry Matt with it, even though he's going to read this and ask me. I'm just saying how I feel baby.
I'm so stressed. I try to carry everything by myself. I try to raise myself. I try to be my own therapist, but it's not working lately. And if I try not to think, it just worsens the problem.
Blah...
