I feel lonely. I don't know why I want time alone, and then when I get it, I am lonely.
Also I wonder why I torment myself by looking at other people's artwork and then feeling like a failure at my own art. I need to spend more time making art and less time online seeing what other people are doing.
I know people on Facebook have a tendency to "play up" what they are doing, but I feel like I'm the only one who is NOT excited about Christmas, is NOT decorating the house/writing out cards/baking like mad, and is feeling sorta crapola.
I'm afraid to say anything negative on there these days.
I am broken...exhausted...numb...perhaps I'll never be the same. Perhaps this night will only be a bad memory. Perhaps it will be a good one. Perhaps it will come to mean nothing, like so many others.
I haee been having some really crappy feelings the past day or so. The usual: job search, unemployment benefits, lack of health insurance, feeling unable to talk about this with my friends and family...
I know this will pass but I am scared of what the future holds.
