Satisfaction:
Can we ever get our fill?
There’s something missing.
I always feel this way.
There’s something eating at me-
“that constant gnawing sense of having had and lost some infinite thing.”
I’m not missing a God or a certain ending- I don’t think.
There is just this part of me that doesn’t understand and doesn’t want to because of my past.
I fear I won’t be “happy” again.
I don’t even know what that word means.
I’m always so fucking afraid of where I will end up;
not after this life but in it.
I’m afraid of “common fate,”
of living normally like my parents do,
like everyone else wants to.
AND I DON’T KNOW HOW TO CHANGE IT.
The only way I’m preventing it now is by not planning ahead.
But then my vision is wiped away.
I don’t know what I want because all I know is what I don’t want.
…Yet I figured something out this week.
I’ve never truly loved anything.
Nothing. It’s sad.
There are things, or people, or places, or times, laughs or memories that I “like” a lot or say “I love,”
but I have never loved them.
Nothing has ever felt right to me, like I don’t fit.
I keep such a distance. Being close to anything is terrifying.
Maybe finding a balance between being alone and being with others could fix this fear.
Not balancing by going away from myself and returning endlessly,
but by intertwining the two,
so I don’t feel so mad or alone in my own head.
I always feel alone.
and sometimes I fucking love it.
I don’t want anyone.
I don’t want to need anyone or anything.
But then I get to a point where I feel empty.
I can fill my head with as many thoughts as I want to
but where can I go to fill my so-called-heart?
