feeling: small listening to: KinKi Kids - Aisareru Yori Aishitai
Best way to describe how things have been lately is that I feel powerless about a ton of things. Some things that shouldn't even matter to me, others that should and do but I can never do anything about... some things I've been trying to change or at least work on for ages but it never seems to go anywhere, others I can't do anything but sit and watch... and everything in between. Even my cat being sick for the past few days kicks up the helplessness meter by a few points.
Sometimes it just seems like no matter how hard I try, no matter what I do, it's never enough and might as well be all for nothing. For a brief shining period of time over the summer I was just starting to feel a tiny bit better about myself and various things in my life, but gradually it's all been coming apart again, I guess. Dreams don't help either... dreams of betrayal, dreams of being hated, dreams of being used, dreams of death...
It's probably a good thing I was destined to live and die alone. This way I'll never have to let anyone down again. I just wasn't made to associate with people. When things happen, when moods change, when I'm supposed to do something... I freeze. I never know what to do. It gets tiring being a letdown all the time.
And on rare occasions when I do get something right... well... all my life, with practically every person who ever called me a friend, every person in whose life I thought I made a difference... it's like I only exist when nobody else does. They'd come crying to me when they were in pain or needed help or just wanted to vent whatever emotion they felt at the time, and as long as nobody else was around, they'd treat me like I was the sweetest friend on earth and was so important and meaningful in their life... but then, when I'm gone and they're talking to other people or speaking in more public venues, I don't even exist anymore. Not a mention, not a side glance, not a word of appreciation or even recognition... unless I'm there looking them in the eye and nobody else is around to notice. So what difference do I really make?
But it's rare that I ever even reach that point in someone's esteem. More often than not I'm just worthless. And still that only covers a couple of the things I feel powerless to affect right now.
Whatever; enough about me. On a much more interesting subject, I just discovered a few days ago that all the Sims 2 data on my PS2 memory card somehow got corrupted and vanished. None of my other games, just that one. Curse technology. My girls were doing really well.
And now I'm going to go climb into bed and fail at sleeping for half a day or so.
