social starvation in a crowd.


i feel attacked lately, by the weather, by my disorders, by what used to be a close friend. it's painful to see such violent delights have such violent ends. such is a lot of my life, although i suppose that's how it is with many people-- a body gets close to another, and then one leaves and the other is left in pain. it's all right. it isn't as though i've never lived through a major loss before.
i keep getting told i just have Really Bad Luck. i wonder how much more bad luck it takes for me to collapse. i feel acceptable at this very moment, but i'm hurt, and i sometimes feel very alone. simultaneously, i feel simply grateful for my wonderful job and my friends-- they help so immensely, even though i can tell the latter doesn't know quite what to do with me oftentimes. just speaking with me, even online, is more than enough.

i spent my evening tonight at the local holiday parade, and i ended up by myself and watching people. i enjoy seeing people's reactions, watching people's dogs and babies and all, and then i see groups of young teenagers and wish with all my heart that i could be that age again. just to feel that excitement and have that social experience. such nostalgia.

sometimes, i really wish i could hibernate.

i'm ready for thanksgiving and seeing people. how extraordinarily, fantastically exhausting it will be.

  2. first of all, thank you for your comment with all my heart. you made me feel like wanting to blog again! because sometimes i think i'm just talking to myself and nobody bothers to read about my life. your words were very kind and heart-warming.

    secondly, i FEEL your pain. i spend so much time thinking 'oh i wish i could hibernate for some months', and looking at people smiling and thinking how i miss being happy as that. well, i can erase your way of feeling things obviously. I can only tell you, you are not alone and it's not your fault. :) It's okay. And it's good to learn how to be on our own. We have to be our best company. kiss *
