I just need to get this out of my head.
I was at the office, and the entire drive back to my mom's house, I thought about how to articulate my thoughts. Sometimes, it's hard to know where to start. Those who have followed my blog for a while (very few go back the whole 8 1/2 years, but there are some), know how far I've come in dealing with my past. Many have called me strong. I often don't feel strong, but maybe my standards for myself are too high. I don't know.
I've never spoken aloud the details of being molested. Cody has tried to get me to talk about it a few times, I know, but I never do when he tries. I know that when I do, I will break down. I will sob. My mom asked me what's wrong, but I didn't say anything.
It's hard, when someone judges my current actions without knowing my past. Because I know the truth, and the difficulties I've had. I sometimes wonder if I will be damaged for forever. If I will always shy away from someone's touch. I wonder who will put up with me. I wonder what I would be like if this had never happened. But that's part of the journey, isn't it? Stumbling, and getting back up, saying and doing the wrong things, constantly screwing up, feeling like a failure, taking the wrong path and somehow finding your way back, wandering through the maze, confused at what you're supposed to be doing, the struggles and the strife... The journey of healing never seems to end. This will be with me for forever, I think.
Isn't there anyone out there who will understand my tears and not judge them? Someone who will kiss them away and just hold me until I've exhausted my sobbing? Someone who will take the bad with the good? I have more good days than bad days, but the bad days are really terrible sometimes. Won't there ever be someone I can be with that understands my fears?
Sometimes, I just don't feel very strong. I feel like everything I've worked so hard for will come tumbling down and I'll have to start all over again. Today, I feel like I haven't come very far at all, but in the back of my mind, I know I have. I know that the tears I've cried today are only a road block, but it feels like something more, like something has come undone. Sometimes, I feel like, how much better I am from before is fake, it's not real, and I'm only fooling myself. How do we really know?
I'm just lost today, maybe. I have an hour and a half before I have to get back to work, and I hope I feel better by then, because I'm supposed to start making phone calls tonight to sell tickets.
I'm not even sure if this blog is right, if I've said something wrong. So often my thoughts get jumbled, then my mind just picks something negative and it repeats over and over in my head, so nothing is really clear at the moment.
