Every day is a little stranger. A little angrier. A little more tired. My journey through the Fire Swamp is turning up more questions than answers. I'm not happy about the knowledge I've acquired. It makes my head hurt and my eyes leak, and I don't sleep because I think too much about it.
I have my career beckoning to me in the distance. I have a few things to accomplish in the meantime, but it's there.
I've actually thought about things in terms of what I deserve, rather than in terms of what I simply want. 'tis strange for one with self-esteem so low.
I deserve to be loved wildly without reserve.
I deserve to be respected and appreciated for what I do.
I deserve every bit as good as I give.
and I'm not going to settle for less than that.
Drew visited me briefly today. And Koz indulged my need to watch a bunch of overgrown boys beat each other bloody. I really love my friends. I'm sorry I've been so distracted.
