I don’t understand where it all went wrong.
And like, all I can do is blame myself. It’s all my fault. It’s always my fault. I just wanted to feel like I did. I was just fucking greedy I guess.
My friend had to bail on me to make money, we had plans. And I didn’t really mind because things haven’t been the best between us. But I still wanted to carry through with what we were going to do. I just wanted to be outside. I just didn’t want to be alone because I was going to do more. And I knew I was doing more than last time. I didn’t think it was going to be like that.
I went with someone I love to a park to paint. Everything was fine. We laid out a bedsheet and sat under the trees. She grabbed a canvas and started pressing brush to paint. I wasn’t in the mood yet, I wanted to wait until the drugs set in and my vision started getting weird. She played music, the birds were chirping, rain was coming and we could smell it. It was nice.
I looked at the trees and I could see the way they grew out of the ground. I saw the grass and it was all flowering upwards and pleasant. Lightning struck from across the lake and it looked beautiful. The freckles on my skin all danced around each other and it was so friendly. I tried to tell her that..
I tried to tell her everything. Something in me just turned off and I had no way of communicating that to her. My body wasn’t responding correctly. My thoughts were rapid. I just wanted to focus on the grass and be grateful, she was having such a nice time…
I looked at the sheet and I saw black dots hopping up and down. I had to ask her if she saw them. The whole time I tried to not bother her while I got up and down struggling with not throwing up. But I had to ask. And we realized fleas were everywhere.
I don’t know, I frantically started trying to pick everything up from the ground. I didn’t know what was worth keeping and what was infested and needed to be thrown away, I couldn’t see, my vision was so blurry and it kept zooming in and out like some fucked up lens. My feet weren’t moving like I told them to, my legs were wobbling, my hands were shaking, my heart was too fast and I was struggling- STRUGGLING- to breathe. I told her that I could feel the weight of my rib cage and every organ inside of me, how heavy it all was, how hard it was to breathe. But I didn’t want to freak her out, I didn’t want to be weird, I just wanted to help her gather everything.
And I couldn’t. My fingers weren’t grasping and holding on to things. My arms were unstable. I said maybe she needed to call austin, maybe she needed help. She didn’t understand why I said what I did. It all was hitting me, it was overwhelming and it was way too quick. My brain felt like the witch’s cauldron in Brave when it was malfunctioning, flashes of one emotion directly to the next directly to the next and I felt it all so deeply. I thought a hundred thoughts in half of a second. I felt a thousand things in less than that. And by the time I found a sentence I could spit out to her, i always chose wrong.
I told her how hard it was to speak, that I had all of these thoughts like a hose welling up with water and my mouth was the kink, the muscles that make my voice move were failing. My body was failing. Everything I looked at was vibrating and when I closed my eyes it didn’t stop. I was so sick, I gagged so much and just couldn’t throw up. My hands weren’t gripping.. I was trying to help her pick up the paint and the canvases and everything and my body just was not responding to what I was begging it to do. I needed to look composed, I was scaring her..
I threw the blanket away, I left it at the park. On the drive home she asked what the plans were, that she was free all day she just had to go to her moms house down the road. I said she could finish her painting at my house, that I didn’t mind hanging out and that I was having a nice time with her.. but when we pulled in the driveway, it all just broke away.
I tried getting my things out of her car and my body was just refusing to cooperate. I was getting frustrated and she was feeling it. And I didn’t know what to do. She said they had to wake up early and that she needed to leave, and she did lmfao she left.
I laid on my kitchen floor for four hours. My brain broke. It was like shattered pieces, and I could only feel one at a time, but the flashes were so quick I couldn’t grasp it. In half of a second I felt suicidal sadness, blinding rage, hurt and envy and grateful and happy. Hot, cold, green, red, flash flash flash. Music sounded weird. Bird noises sounded weird. My voice sounded weird. I didn’t understand my phone and I couldn’t look at it,
but I was alone and I was feeling everything, all at once. He just made it worse. I called him to check on my friend and he tried telling her to go back to the house that she ran away from. He bothered my sister to come over. He bothered the friend that bailed on me to come over. He threatened to come over.
And I was falling apart. I was alone and I was falling apart. Everything I saw made me sick, I freaked my cats out, I ripped at my head. How could it all get so nasty so quick. It was so rapid, and came in waves. One second it would hit me and I would cope with “okay im feeling this now” and then I would just be WASHED over with something completely new and different. My brain couldnt process anything. I begged them all to leave me alone because nobody could grasp how I felt, nobody knew what to do, nobody could help, all I have is me, all I’ve ever had is me.
It was static, like listening to a radio with interference. I hated it. I went through the worst time and I had nobody and it was all my fucking fault because I just wanted to be happy. Greedy. Fucking greedy. I feel like such a weight in every single person’s life and I want to die, I want to fucking die, I don’t want to exist anymore I don’t care. I hate everyone I don’t even know why I’m even having this fucking party besides the fact that I’ve sunk so much fucking money into the food and decorations and bullshit.
Now I get to sit in a car with the husband PUTTING THE GODDAMN FUCKING WINDOW DOWN IN THIS SICK ASS FUCKING HEAT with his wife who REFUSES TO SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR FIVE MINUTES so I can DRINK AND FUCKING FORGET MY LIFE and I just want to WALK OUT IN TO THIS BUSY ASS HIGHWAY lmfao. I’m so goddamn fucking SICK of never having MONEY and now I’m ready to just ruin my ties with EVERYBODY.
FUCK 29.
