dearest forsaken

the things you love to hide

A promise to myself

HEY GUYS!

I decided today WITH NO FUCKING EXCEPTIONS that I am quitting my job on Monday. 

THAT’S RIGHT. I WOULD RATHER BE HOMELESS THAN WORK FOR YOU, YOU FUCKING CUNT. 

Already sold the flat screen for some extra cushion money and if I don’t have money after that…too fucking bad. No way it is worth being belittled and fucking shit on for $10 an hour. Rent is paid for this month and I will fill out 500 applications if I have to. I will get a job by next month. I can’t fucking deal with this job anymore. 


SO SUCK IT, BITCH.

I love my sister more than anyone

  • Kaylee: Do you like your school??
  • Me: I do. The academics are impressive and my professors offer great perspective and demand critical thinking.
  • Kaylee: Cool!
  • (five minutes later)
  • Kaylee: Will you marry me!?!
  • Me: Yes!!!
  • Kaylee: Yeah!
  • Kaylee: I'm playing bingo by myself.
  • Me: Aw...Kaylee..

So much whiskey. So early. So many hours of work. Last night was nice. Leaving this morning was not.

lo que no ves

Going to meet Ian and friends at a bar when you have to be up for work at 4AM is a BAD IDEA JESSICA. If you leave, you are going to be making a BAD DECISION. 

…. 

.. 

.

I think I’m gonna go probably

I just want to skip class and order pizza and drink whiskey and makeout with someone and then pass out. 

Why am I so responsible? Ughhhh. 

3am and i am

losing sleep to you laughing

again. happily

eyes itching and bones aching

doesn’t bother me at all

it only took ten minutes

of talking to you 

for the horrible parts of my day to disappear

then! to hear you say you love me

well, i just can’t even…

swoon,swoon,swoon,swoon,and sweet dreams

  • Me: You're always cute but there's something that gets extra cute when you're sleepy. Your smile changes a little...I don't know how to describe it, but that shit gives me the warm fuzzies like you wouldn't believe.
  • Him: Come cuddle with me rite now
  • Me: Okay bbydoll. Be there in 5.
  • Him: Damn that'd be amazing
  • Me: I know. I want that so badly. To be able to fall asleep next to you, and wake up ready to give you tiny kisses and good morning goofy ass smiles.
  • Him: Ugh...It's too much!
  • Me: It's almost hard for me to imagine because I don't know if I've ever felt how I would feel if I could be close to you like that. Which maybe sounds weird, or maybe silly...but I really think I would be so happy in that moment. It would be so perfect it's hard to even think about.
  • Him: I know. Like a different world or something. I want to come up there soon.

sleep (or lack thereof)

I am done trying to figure out why some nights are better than others. For the past ten years now I have gone through the entire scale, from self-mutilating in my sleep, to waking up a little shaky. The first time I ever experienced a significant amount of time without nightmares was when I lived with Michael. Sure, I had the occasional one or two, but for the most part I was getting deep, sound sleep. Ever since moving out it seems to fluctuate: some weeks are horrible, others are completely nightmare free. Of course, some of this has been due to events taking place, but some hasn’t. All week I’ve had really fucked up nightmares and as much as I try to shake it off and carry on with my day, I can’t. It’s not easy enough to do that. Everything is too heavy on my mind and I’m distracted to the point where it’s keeping me from focusing on anything. 
This morning was bad. I’ve always had very vivid, very realistic dreams and waking up is never an easy adjustment. I am the kind of person that needs to take a few minutes to understand that they are in their bed, in their room, awake, breathing, and perfectly fine.

I don’t know. I think the hardest part when I dream about him is to continuously remind myself that he is no longer a part of my life. I do that, all day, I say to myself He really is gone. He really is gone forever, and you are okay, and Kaylee is okay, and you will never see him again. And I don’t think I know how to cope with that. I think I’m still learning to accept that I do have a life now, that is growing positively, and that my past does not have to continue to be a part of that life. In ways yes, of course…but I mean…I can’t articulate this properly…but I am having a very hard time leaving my past behind me because it has made me so much of who I am? Or maybe because 18 years is the majority of my existence. Maybe when I’m 25 it’ll be easier to accept that I have a different life now. I don’t know. Maybe when I’m 25 I’ll stop waking up to the sound of my own voice, screaming and crying out for help. Maybe when I’m 25, I’ll have enough good memories to cover up all of the bad ones. I don’t know. All I know is that I am unsettled, I am anxious, and I don’t feel well. I need my nightmares to go away. 

The trial was January 6th. Just slightly over a year ago. That’s fucking crazy to think about, my god. I don’t know. I need to get past this. Someday.

  • Me: I'd have to spend the night if I came over.
  • Him: I'd insist.
  • Me: Have you eaten?
  • Him: Nope.
  • Me: Ohfuckk, pizza involved in these hangouts?
  • Him: Word. I gotta be up early tomorrow though. 6:30am
  • Me: Oh damn. So you won't want to be up all night?
  • Him: You have plans to keep me up all night?
  • Me: No. Actually I'm really fucking tired so going to bed at a reasonable hour works in my favor. Hahah. How sexy is that?! UNF.
