Amy Winehouse, one of my favorite singers, has a song called, “Tears Dry On Their Own.” There is a line that goes, “I fuck myself in the end anyway.” This is my metaphor today.
I get up after sleeping in a bit. I haven’t balanced my checkbook in about a week, mainly because I have been putting it off. There is something about giving ridiculous amounts of money to people I don’t know, for no reason, that really bothers me. The rational side of me agrees that the money is for services rendered, but the baby in me doesn’t want to share.
So after I balance my checkbook and pay bills I have worked myself into a frenzied pit of despair and destitution. I use the word destitution because it sounds a lot like prostitution and that’s what I am going to have to do in order to keep up with my bills.
It’s true, I have always been the type to doomsday stuff but now, since I started the Welbutrin to quit smoking, it has been magnified a bit. This whole last week has been this roller coaster of emotions. I am sure that the combination of over working and long days affects me, but Friday I felt like I was really enjoying being mean to people. The sad part is that I haven’t even started to stop smoking yet. You have to start the medication for two weeks, then set a stop date, mine is Feb 3rd. I also think that the lack of sun and not being able to run outside has been a bit of a mood killer for me as well.
The last contributing factor, or excuse, is that Ryan has been trying to talk to me all week. I thought I made it clear that I wasn’t ready, but he does not seem to be listening. I think subconsciously, it has been a bit hard. I really loved him like I have never loved anyone. I have never been one to keep casual friendships. I have a lot of acquaintances but only a couple friends because it takes a lot to form those chains for people that I truly care about. I think you get the rest of the cliché about chains, bonds, broken.
Fast forward to yoga, which seems to be the only thing in my life right now I enjoy. I am in a standing forward bend and I realize, “stop it.” Stop doing this to yourself, you will always be okay, if not better, you are amazing, and taking a shower might be a good idea cause it smells weird down here.
I will be fine for a couple of reasons. I don’t talk fanatically talk about it but I do believe in God and I do believe that my life is amazing because of her/him, or shim or sherm. I also believe in Amy Winehouse and I do these things to myself. I create these fictionalized scenarios that will never come to fruition just because I have imagined them.
Isn’t life and Yoga funny that way?!
