Blog Subject:  Thoughts. Journaling. Because I'm too lazy to use pen and paper

I prefer my handwritten journal, because then I do not have to print out the pages and bring them to T if I feel like reading. But, I don't feel like writing.

I am so ambivalent about life right now. My purpose is gone. I used to have purpose. I used to be a really strong Christian always giving advice and love to others whatever chance I got. I wasn't pushy about it, honest. I just wanted to help people, and from the looks of it, they were accepting. I was like a little mini-therapist to many people, though I had almost no close friends.

Fast forward, I isolate. I am still a Christian. But I don't have the same purpose as I used to. I wish I felt something like I used to, even if I could be angry at God, at least that would be something. But I see Him now as more of a light at the end of the tunnel of life. I just have to keep going through this tunnel, and eventually I'll reach the light. I'm thankful for the light, since it's shining enough to light my path and make it a bearable journey. However, at the end of the day, this tunnel is pretty uneventful.

I go to work. I go to therapy once a week. I hang out with one friend. I am trying to branch out and socialize with others, but it brings up so much anxiety and it almost never goes well. I show a side of myself with B that NO ONE ELSE has ever seen. How do I know if I can do that with the other people? If I can't, I don't want to waste my time. Because otherwise it's not much of a friendship.

With my other friend, V, she sees another side of me. A side that others still don't see, I don't think even B. So these two sides get fed emotionally by getting contact with others. But they don't come out anywhere else.

Tomorrow is my birthday. I'll be 23. I have T tomorrow. I am looking forward to my T appointment after two weeks of none. I don't care about my birthday. Just another day. People make big deals out of birthdays, it doesn't mean anything. It's silly.

I'm so cold :( My roommates don't want to turn on the heater to save on the electric bill. I'm so tired. I know I should buy a bed because the camping cot isn't helping. But a bed seems so impractical. If you need to get up and move, it's a dificult thing to lug. I have a small bookcase and a light desk that can be taken apart, that was given to me, so if I had to part with it I wouldn't care. But if I got a bed, I wouldn't want to part with it. If I had to go away, I wouldn't want to leave it here or give it away.

That sentence just really struck me. I feel pretty much the same. It's like I had all these feelings, all this passion, and now I just feel nothing.

Take care, and happy birthday for tomorrow *hugs*
