i don't know how to do this anymore but i guess i would just learn it again. i just need a space to put this out to. just do what i used to do before i learned to figure out how friendships work, before i learned how to talk and open up.
i don't think this is laziness anymore. i am seriously unmotivated. i have all the signs of depression and if it weren't for the support of my boyfriend and family, albeit them being unaware of it, i would've probably spiraled down to rock bottom. i am just lucky i have the privilege of having a roof over my head, because if i was still living independently, i'm pretty sure i would have lost it by now. i don't know why these things happen at the start of the year... or that could be just a coincidence and it really doesn't have anything to do with new years. but it could have something to do with the weather, right?
so i've accepted work in the hopes that it would get me out of this funk. because i like work. no matter how much i rant about it and complain about stupid client demands, i love worrying. so i accepted writing jobs, a location manager job, the usual line producer and production manager jobs, jobs that require research. and there's nothing i love more than research and discovering and knowing i've done my very best and pulling through in the way only i can do. so what's wrong?
PARTLY because i am scared. i'm scared of failing, of being a failure. now that these people know me. the people i work with--whom for a year i have tried to keep away from my life--know me, I can't help but feel that one way or another I'm going to fuck it up and disappoint them. Because I think I have grown to like them. I didn't want to, I didn't intend to, but apparently, they're pretty nice, decent people, despite having different principles and life views. And disappoint them how and why? Because I'm always bound to disappoint the people around me, that's just how it's always been and always will be. It's been a while since i've had an episode but who knows when it would hit again, right? And when it does, I'm helpless. It's like I don't have a say in the matter. I just have to see it through until it's over and clean up the ashes it would leave behind after burning my life to the ground.
PARTLY because I experienced this traumatizing project months ago and it has left my self-esteem in shambles. It made me feel that I am not as good as I think I was. And even with being aware that everyone around me at that time were ruthless, heartless corporate slaves, it still got through me. It affected me in a way college did. It made me feel LIKE SHIT. Maybe I just didn't belong and they made me feel JUST WRONG for having different sensibilities. I didn't like the rules but I tried to play by it and in the end, it ruined my trust in humankind's ability to be pure and kind and good. In short, I got disillusioned. Fuck being a good person, right? Such petty problems, right?
MAINLY because I know what I want and not being able to have that immediately means I have to be patient and do something else in the meantime. And that something else has to be pretty okay to serve as a temporary thing because otherwise I just can't bring myself to get up everyday to do it. It's already hard enough knowing that none of this is permanent and I will be off somewhere far eventually but to endure it despite all the suckiness and terrible things, it is proving to be almost impossible for me.
But what choice do I have right now? I can't do anything for long term because I will have to leave it eventually. Or maybe I should? And just fuck plans of going to Canada? I just can't imagine spending one more year of long distance relationship. I just can't.
Ugh, grow up.
everything gets lighter, even if it never gets better
thank you, mates of state
