So I disappeared after my nervous breakdown a bit. I know I'm not doing so well, because I can't write. I sit at the computer, pull the book up and just stare at it blankly for a long time. Not because I don't know where to go from here but because it just doesn't feel like the words are in me anymore.
Which is crazy. I know the words are there. I just can't seem to reach them.
But I have some good news. I read some pretty risque books on occasion, and since the rape I haven't been able to. But yesterday I made myself get a really rough one about a woman like me who was recovering from a severe rape who subsequently fell in love and found peace. Strangely, the book was better therapy than just about anything I've done so far.
My coworker and I are also getting along better. I had to go to our boss and report things, but we're dealing now. So that front looks better.
And boys are still hitting on me and pressuring me to go out with them, which I'm just not ready for.
Beyond the recent trauma, I have a hard time finding men who I click with. I guess I'm a little picky. I need to feel passion with them, need to be able to hold intelligent conversations with them, and they need to be able to call me on my crap sometimes.
Looks are not required. Appreciated, but not required. Money is not required. A nice perk, but again, I don't really care. I just need to FEEL when I'm with them, instead of having that cold logic dominating my personality.
I wish I could write my book again. I feel the words inside me, wanting to be unleashed. It feels like something is in the way right now, though. And I'm not sure if it's my personal problems or a story problem.
Anyway, thought I'd get on here and let you all know that I am coping and dealing with things in my own way. I don't like how depressed I've been lately and I'll soon be dragging my butt back out of it. But right now, I just don't have the energy to.
Tomorrow will be a new day. Right?
Glad to hear from you again Kyla. I'm sorry to hear that writing just hasn't been second nature to you recently, that's a shame but as you know I'm still going through that myself. I just can't connect anything together but I'm hoping that's a temporary thing. I'm glad to hear that book helped you and that you're selective with men. You know what you like and the qualities that you like are extremely admirable, like you say tomorrow's a new day, that's something that got me to sleep last night, we can do this buddy!
