It took some willpower not to delete my last entry. Not that anyone would know because its set to private, so no one sees it anyways. I am filled with jealousy for other peoples lives. I see the improbability of my life and it burdens me. This is probably too clinical a way to put it. Maybe too theoretical. But I see the fatness of my stomach and I covet the fresh beauty of other women.
I see the...men.... the men I can never attain, never touch even for a moment. I see the writing on the arm, my arm, from my right hand to the flesh of my left and I see the failure in fading words: "I MUS N FIII...I WILL URN AND FAC..." I must not fear. Fear is the mindkiller. Fear is the little death which brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when my fear is gone I will turn and face fear's path, and only I will remain. Only I will remain. Only I will remain. Is this supposed to be comforting? It is. It is strength incarnate but I still fear....petty things. A harsh word. Desperation. Swollen glands swollen for another. My anxiety over sex is palpable becuase I wrap it wround myself tighter than the faux shroud of turin with crucifix jewels Shannon wore after she shot her face off. After she shot her face off. I had the time to do homework today. I wasted it.
Something is welling up inside of me. Something that can't be impeded. something I would be able to control if I lived outside of my head.
Topher fucked me up a little worse than I'm letting on. I have every right to be mad, but I'm not. Because you know who fucked me up the worst? the absolute worse that I feel a blush starting at my spine and crawling into my face when I think of his name his last name because it was the only goddamn remarkable thing about him: Steinhardt. And why was i stuck on him? Because my sex life with him was the best, eventhough I entirely made it up. The follies of high school befoul my reason and I think I still might think that unrequited love is the only option left open to me. Its all I've got. Books and no praise.
Yeah you shouldn't need a man to feel happy. But I need the endorphins the sex would release.
