I should be happy...

  • Life's good, right?  I mean, I wake up every day, I haven't heard anything bad from any doctor, my son's fixin' to graduate from college, I got a roof over my head, food to eat, and a vehicle to drive.  And I got my stinkin' money from the "powers that be".  I should be ecstatic, shouldn't I?  Then why is it, that I find little to no joy in anything?  That my mood seems to darken more and more, with each passing hour.  WTF? 

    I pray, and ask God to lift me out of this, what can only be described as "depression".  And I can feel fleeting moments of happiness, like when I found out I was gettin' my refund, but it never lasts.  And soon, I feel down again.  And I mope around, feeling sorry for myself, til I can't stand myself any longer, and just go to bed.  I know what the catalyst to all of this was, and I knew it would take a minute to get over, but shit, I didn't have a clue, it was goin' to take me this far down this road.  And it's not fair, none of it.  I didn't cause this, and I'm damn sure, it would've happened sooner or later anyway.  But you'd think, even knowin' that, that I couldn't WILL myself, better!?!  

    WTF has such a hold on me?  Him?  WHY???  He doesn't deserve a second thought.  He hurt me, badly, and yet, I still love him.  I can't switch it off.  I've tried.  How the hell do I just stop?  

    Ridin' would help.  Gettin laid, wouldn't, for a vast number of reasons. I'm not the same person anymore.  Maybe that's my problem.  Maybe I'm mourning for the person who was really tossed.
