The past few months years have been kind of rough for your boy. I’ve had to deal with failure on a few fronts. I’ve had things not go my way. I’ve had people I love and care for be hurt and even die. I was really living a charmed life up until 2001, and frankily ya’ll I’m not dealing with it well.
I look at who I’ve become and I’m not happy. I’ve become a pessimist of the highest order. I’ve become an acid tongued jerk to some people. Sometime I seek approval in the wrong places. Sometimes I do stupid shit just for a momentary cheap thrill.
To this point I’ve been lucky. No hard drugs, no real life threatening situations that I’ve been aware of, but I get the feeling even that luck is starting to run out. I need a change in my life.
I mentioned on my livejournal my desire to actually seek some therapy (and maybe even prescription drugs) to deal with some of these issues, because minus the occassional vent here, I’ve been doing it on my own. Things are coming to a head one way or the other, I might as well take pre-emptive steps.
At any rate, I realize some people I’ve been less than savory towards as a result of things outside of their control. I’ve taken out anger on people who didn’t deserve it by any means and I know these apologies may ring hollow here, but I’m offering them nonetheless.
Some people have been victims (in various and sundry ways) of some of my foolish actions and I’m sorry for them as well. I swear I should be a subsection of life-insurance policies. Like people should be able to earn hazard money for dealing with me. To those people, I’m eternally grateful for you putting up with me and shit.
I’m a weird guy. I’m different…or at least I like to think so. Maybe it’s only in my head. But one way or another it’s going to be straightened out. I wasn’t always like this. I had my problems, but they were managable. Things are out of control right now though. I gotta get out of this tailspin.
