What Now?

So much of what I am about to write perhaps more appropriately belongs in my Interior Dialogues blog but I'm posting it here because this will really speak to the spirit of a lot of what is happening to me, the new understandings I am unveiling. Perhaps later, when I can look at all of this, turn it over in my mind, examine it, I'll post it all there as well.

Call with M last night. Felt again pushed to feeling responsible for our uneven relationship. Felt PUSHED. Frustrated that nothing I do is right. At a loss. Don't know what to do or say. So much I hear and don't "get", so much that does not make sense, does not ring true. At a loss once again.

Avoid certain thoughts about m & d. Accept the flaws and damage. More sense of that with m. d is another matter. Silence was our communication. Only occasional glimmers of light. If something could be ignored, it would go away.

Things don't go away. They get buried. I BURY.

Love not felt.

Frozen out.
Freeze myself.
Felt lacking
Weight
Wanting approval.
String dangled.

Face it. FUCKING FACE IT.
I could never really do it right.

Tangled with S. Love her. Does SHE know or feel it? m all over again. What is missing? What else can I do?
Do to make it better.
Fix it.

You don't love me.
Comparisons.
Why can't you be more like . . .
Not accepted.
Strings

Love so much
Want so much
No wonder I CAN NOT cry.

Bridges being built
Incomplete.
Two cliffs
Two sides
Don't jump over, jump across.
Jump TO -
Catch -
Hang on

Understanding.

I can feel the steam all the way up the mountain side. And the hurt, and the fear. 10 deep breaths, please. Great writing, though! I'll call.

Annie, I know exactly how this feels and my heart reaches out to yours! XXOO


BTW good job with Jenny.

Are you sure you're not channeling me. Well, no because I don't even believe in that, but there has to be a reson we are both working on poems about loves that are somehow twisted and yet we are the ones left dangling in the wind. Hard times. Praying for you.

Annie: I can't even begin to feel the pain your are in. But what I can do is go to my knees and pray that the Lord will somehow intervene and bring you some peace and reconcillation and healing!
I do care deeply.
Love and Hugs

Wishing I knew what to say to help or offer insight. Lacking that, I'll just send a hug {{{Annie}}}

I am so sorry you are in such pain. I am also sending wishes for resolution, peace and happiness.

You know Annie,if all of this refers to issues with family...siblings especially...I can relate and I feel the intensity of which you wrote this. If it is not I still felt the intensity and I truly believe it is cathartic to write it, own it, feel it and then hopefully let it go. I haven't learned the last part yet. It's all a journey and I feel that you are little by little beginning to shed more than weight.
Sending you love and hugs,
Lisa
XOXO

My heart is with you! I have been away these past days but all of my hugs are with you! and prayers! I understand your pain. I am with you!

Annie,

I have waited a couple of days to write this just to make sure I am being tactful. It IS them, not you. I can tell from your blog that you are a warm, kind, loving person. Maybe you have tried enough. A friend of mine once told me that childhood has a shelf life (even a bad one). I was miffed at her when she said it; it took me a couple of years to accept what she was saying. Some things you must just put behind you forever in order to move ahead.

Loving thoughts, Julie
