Daily scribbles and drools... Day 97

Not gonna pretend. I'm not okay. It's been a terrible lonely feeling these last few weeks but I guess I should have listened to my gut when I realised that probably this isn't meant to be.

If all the others made me feel like I was too much, this time I was just shunned out. Not intentionally, just someone who is unable to comprehend human emotions. Or maybe it's just me. 

I prayed so hard for what I have right now, counting my blessings. But what I should have prayed for even harder was to have the strength, the courage and the heart and head to persevere. I've adjusted, gone silent, communicated, listened, communicated some more, but I just couldn't get through.

Nobody deserves to be disrespected especially when they're investing their time and energy into loving someone, being there for someone, putting their heart on their fucking sleeve only to be ignored or muted. Nobody deserves such inhumane behaviour.

When I see others or hear about their demands and that all the time there's a price tag attached to it, I don't feel it because I probably don't get it. But when they talk and communicate, that I listen to, that I try and emulate because I want that connect. I want to have a better relationship and I will read and learn as much as I can about how to be 100% invested in everything I do. Because I want to learn. I want to grow. I want to mature and be a better human being. And no one will and can take that away from me. 

I give, with always minimalistic expectations of care, comfort and conversations. But even that is too much and for someone like me to ask for it's going over the top, I guess. I really must be a disappointment to today's materialistic world and all the sugar daddy's. Gawd -- this girl has no fame, no game and no name. 

After all the hard work I've put in to not feel an ounce of resentment towards any living thing for over a year, to have such hurt/hate well up inside and to tell someone I thought I loved to "Fuck Off" - I hate myself. I hate how small I am. I hate how much this hurts. I hate having to beg for someone's time. I hate having to wait for a message. I hate having to feel lost and alone when I have worked so hard to get my shit together. 

I accept, I'll never really be needed, I'll just be settled for because in all I have loved, I have loved alone. 

What a fucked up way to end 2019. What a fucked up way to start 2020. 


Daily scribbles and drools... Day 96

Love has turned lonely
Should I let him go?

Effort wasted
Connect or contact
There is none
A bottle of champagne
A glass for one

Love has turned lonely
Should I let him go?

All dried out
White strained lips
"Fuck off" resentment
Turn back, turn away
Nothing given, some lent

Love has turned lonely
Should I let him go?

Unspoken words
Hiding in silos
Concrete angel
Unsure where I am
Unsure where I stand

Love has turned lonely
Should I let him go?

Daily scribbles and drools... Day 95

This Parent’s Prayer by Ritchie Jackson

I pray your life is full of love. I hope it includes activism. I expect you’ll be of service.
I hope too through your buoyant colors you wear daily that your life will have a vibrancy, especially now while you are young, that mine did not.
I hope you’ll try, and if you fail, try some more.
I wish you to be loved the way I am.
I want you to know the glory is in the doing, not in any reward, financial gain, or accolade.
I want you to aim high, because if you aim for the middle you will find it.
Take time to think: there are no no-brainers.
Crave responsibility; it is where the living is.
Always want the ball.
Be kind. Being kind is like warming up your voice before singing or stretching before an athletic activity. Being kind opens you up to be ready for anything, and being kind to people makes them feel valued. When you are ready for anything, and valuing the people around you, the possibilities of what you can achieve are endless.
Don’t look down on anyone unless it’s to help pick them up.
Strive to be curious, not just capable.
There is not a finite amount of success in the world. Be the student most likely to want everyone to succeed.
In our loaded-for-bear world, where seemingly everyone has become a disciplinarian, teach don’t lecture, guide don’t demean, bolster don’t belittle.
Honor your parents by being yourself and all of yourself, living fully and unapologetically.
Comfort when needed and cause discomfort when required.
Care for and about yourself. Care for your friends and your family. Care for our community.
You are leaving home to join the greatest of odysseys, taking off on a magical and mysterious adventure. You are on the precipice where so many men before you stood. Jump. Jump as high and as far and as wide as you can.
