I'll be honest here. I censor this blog, to an extent. I have struggled over wanting to "be real" but not offend anyone. Same as my day to day conversations. There's things I only tell certain people…we all censor ourselves to an extent.  and I've done pretty good at keeping this "neutral".
Fair warning…the censor button is off tonight. (It's 1am…that still counts as tonight. ) So off it's not even funny.
Read at your own risk.

I've survived a lot in my life.
Most times I couldn't be bothered reliving it.
It's done…shit happens…whatever…show me someone that hasn't been through a lot in their life.
We've all got our sob stories and I just prefer to not dwell in mine.  I talk about them, but I don't usually let them drag me down or make me feel like shit. Most of my past is very matter of fact for me.
And quite frankly, I happen to like the person I am and that whole everything that has happened to you, makes you who you are philosophy. I truly believe that so I try not to dwell on crap. I'd say a good 90% of the time, I do okay.
But every once in awhile, something will trigger a memory or a period of time that was difficult for me or something that is still somewhat unresolved for me.
And that's when history haunts me…and I honestly can't escape it. It's overwhelming and it hits like a ton of bricks.
I have to go with it. I have to feel it and I usually grab my ipod, throw on my headphones and try to write it out…
It's not happening tonight….
at all.
I'm just stuck on this song and listening to it over and over and over…


"I'm scared/and I'm alone//I'm ashamed/
AND I NEED FOR YOU TO KNOW

I DIDN'T SAY ALL THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO SAY/
AND YOU CAN'T TAKE BACK WHAT YOU'VE TAKEN AWAY


cause I feel you/I feel you near me."

Yeah…a part of me wants to throw things because I'm so angry at myself. Who CARES???
God….it's so done. 11 YEARS DONE. It's so in the past. It so doesn't friggin' MATTER anymore.
But as is so typical of my fucking life…when it happened we acted like it didn't.  It was ignored.
As if it never happened. As if it wasn't supposed to matter.
And all these years….I'm left to feel crazy. Maybe it's not supposed to bother me? Maybe I'm wrong for feeling all I feel and push aside? Maybe it shouldn't effect me? Maybe I
am being over dramatic? I don't fucking know….
What I do know….

It fucking happened.
and it DOES fucking matter.
To me. Obviously not to you.
whatever.

fuck you.
Fuck you that I need you and our relationship is so important to me.
fuck you that it doesn't matter to you and you don't seem to care that it did matter to me.
Fuck you and your indifference.

Okay…I can actually say I feel a little better.
Sometimes you just need to vent..

Sorry if I have offended anyone.
Oh and let me put a disclaimer.
I highly doubt who this is "about" even reads this.
So anyone who might have wondered…it's not about you.

    [this is good] Wow, I know where you are coming from and who you are talking about, although I don’t know what brought it on. I also know the song, well. The thing is J, I think sometimes people expect nothing to get people like you and me down. Something horrific happened to us and we dealt with it and moved on. Many people do not go through what we went through and simply move on. The sheer miracle that we did is so wrapped up in our friendship and our husbands who loved us, baggage and all. Here’s the thing, I think that because we got passed it, sometimes we’re shocked and saddened when someone else may act is if it was not a big deal or as if it didn’t even happen. To us, it was a tremendous deal, it did happen and could have turned our lives inside out. But our spirits prevailed and we rose above our ashes. No one but us saw that journey especially NOT the people we needed to. I hope this gets resolved for you cause I know how much this person means to you. MUAH baby girl. I love you.

    Holy cow girl…someone has upset you and I’m glad it’s not me…LOL

    I think we’ve all been there once, when that someone just plan out right hurts you and it doesn’t have to be with words or actions it’s just their demeaner. Like you can tell that maybe they’re not the same person nor feel the same about you as you do them, trust me I’ve been there and I know how much it sucks to feel that aching inside and there’s not much you can do about it except to move on.

    Even though we’re miles apart know I’m still here for you and love you
