It seems…

that so much of my life is a frenzy. How does it all blur past me before I even notice? A skin ripping, dish tossing, motor running, one foot in front of the other frenzy and I don’t notice until later that the skin of my face is shredded and an hour has gone by.

Another binge.

Another fit of tears.

Mild memories of days when I felt the world was my oyster.

What the hell is going on?

My days are a countdown leading up to what? The moment I can get home and curl up in a blanket with a book or a movie or something to distract me from how numb I feel all the time.

These are not rose colored spectacles. These are something else.

I wish I was a normal thinker. A normal eater. A normal 21 year old.

But I feel very old right now. Not in the mature sense, or even in the octogenarian sense…just in the sense that I feel worn out.

I’m not tired. But I don’t really have energy.

I know I am merely existing.

I want so desperately to live.
