20 now.
I'm 20. I like being 20. I've been out of the hospital for almost two months now and everything is different, but I often still feel the same. I am throwing myself into my art and school and horse and work and friends, fighting to be different. I have more to say, but also studying to do and footage to upload.

These last few weeks...
I though I would be able to spill my guts here, put everything that I have been feeling down and feel better, but I don't think that is going to happen. In regards to what happened, I think my last blog set it all and I don't feel like revisiting that day again. I suppose I can talk about me. See! I am a self absorbed bitch! Told you so! But I guess this is my blog so uh there.
I'll start with the fact that after three days of sitting at home crying and hitting pretty much bottom, I ran away. I ran away to the only place where I have ever felt loved, accepted and appreciated for who I am. I can be me 24/7. I can escape the dysfunction in my own life and go be part of a true family. This place is a small rice farming town by the name of Willows, CA.
Willows is about 3 hours from my current town of Cupertino...well 3 hours if you drive the speed limit. Have I mentioned that my car has no speedometer, and a very nice cruise control setting? I left early the Thursday before Halloween and was there before 10am.
As soon as I pull off the country road and start driving down the dirt and gravel driveway I feel so much more relaxed, life suddenly becomes manageable. It ceases to be something that I have to fight everyday just to stay alive and becomes something bearable, and almost enjoyable.
I spent the next few days enterly on someone elses schedule and it was amazing. I went on field trips, hung out in my little cousins kindergarten class, went shopping at Walmart, ate at the Sugar Shop, watched Greys Anatomy and let the kids play with my cameras. We carved pumpkins and went trick or treating. It was all the normal things in life that I miss.
I could write pages about how each little event helped heal, but I think that is something that I need to keep close to my heart for a now. Also my brain is starting to shut down, and I imagine this is really jumpy and dissconnected already.
I'm doing my best to make it through each day. I also have a promise to keep, but it is getting harder with every minute that passes. I am tierd of fighting through life, only to clinge to a tiny shred of happiness that always dissapears. I feel so worn down and broken, I don't even remember what it feels like to be happy and well balanced...I don't think I have ever felt that way.
One thing I have learned through all of this, is that the way I am feeling is not normal 19 year old angst (as much as I joke about it). I am getting help tomorrow, I was finally able to convince my parents that this is serious and they cannot rationalize this away. I think they still think I am silly and melodramatic, but whatever, at least I am able to talk to someone about this. I am scared I am going to hurt myself. Thomas isn't here to save me this time, I have to do it myself.

Love and Promises.
I can't really disclose that much due to respect for the other party involved and also I need to not dwell. What I want to say is this: Love is the most powerful thing I have ever encountered. I swear to keep the promises to the man I love. Him keeping his promise to me means the world. If he had broken it, I wouldn't be here. I love him with all of my heart. We will get through this, there is a bright future ahead.
I should be...
I should be cleaning my room. I should be removing the piles of dishes. I should be out shooting film. I should be working on my video project. I should get up, take a shower and put on some hot make-up so I can make a video for my other blog. I should take my dog to the park. I should got out for a run. I should, I should, I should. But all I want to do is curl up in a ball and cry.
I know if I did these things, they might make me feel better for a little while, but I always come crashing back down. But this is all new to me. I am self absorbed bitch. I know this. So being so worried about someone else is something new. Being this in love is new. Being this scared for someone else is new.
He made me a promise and I know he is keeping his word. This will become a better life for the both of us.
At least I got one last chance to tell him "I love you."

HATE
Have you ever woken up filled with hate for yourself and regret? I feel as though my chest is going to explode and I want to scream and cry all at the same time. I'm crushed. I let myself be used again. I'm a whore and nothing more.

I Do NOT Hook Up
Lies. Such lies. Here's the thing, I don't intentionally hook-up, my judgement just gets screwed all wonky by my damn emotions. As much as I try to not be such a girl (because it really creeps me out) I can't help it. I cannot separate emotional from physical. If there is no emotional, than the physical isn't a problem. I would make a good slut...Actually scratch that, I would make a good Hooker. If I am going to sleep around you can damn well bet that I am going to get paid for it.
What really disgusts me most about this whole thing is that it means I am a relationship person. I never thought I would get that way until my late 20's, perhaps early 30's. And then if I hadn't met someone I would just have a marriage of connivence between and a fabulous rich gay man. But I guess it makes sense, I am after all a creature of habit.
Here's the thing, opening up emotionally on any level is disgustingly hard for me. I am a product years of off and on again and lack of communication. I hate that about myself. I hate baggage, yet I carry tons of it.
It hit me tonight that I should just let go. (No shit Sherlock). But honestly that thought never really occurred to me, how weird is that? I guess I just always assumed that he would be there to save me from being alone. I didn't look at it as though I was being emotionally stunted. Well you know what, I have let go, I'm looking forward and learning to pay attention to red flags.
This is probably just a string of random half ass thoughts, but I am not going to proof read because my meds have started to take affect and are hitting my brain. I kind of like the numb feeling.
