Rebuilding

You don't turn your back on family, even when they do.

To know that some people still have my back even after all of this means everything to me. That's what's important to me now. The ones that love me and care about me, regardless of how strained and how much I've pushed them away, some it was an easy choice because I will not have my life affecting anyone else's, and I'll fight and go down swinging if it was ever to have been my presence in people's lives that affected them. I feel better for having these people in my life, and at this point I only need positive people that care about me in my life, period.

I need happy moments in my life not drama. I've made peace with all the drama in my life. I don't need or want anymore. There is no reason to dwell on darkness and anger. I've made my peace with that. I'm a good person even if I have to prove it to others again, some know, others doubt, including myself. That's the hardest part proving to myself I'm still a good person. It would be very easy to let the darkest sides and the anger and evil take over. But there are good people out there watching to help make sure that never happens.

One or two of the very good things about this city that are a part of me and are family are the only things that give me pause to ever leave. I reject all the poison here completely, but those I love are the only ones here worthwhile being involved with anymore. There's light here in Hamilton. It's hard to see right now, but there's light here for me. I won't forget that and there's a lot of this city I won't miss, a lot of people. As far as I'm concerned, most of my past is dead. But the good people that I call blood will always be there, I thank god for that.

Trying to decide my next path is harder when I do find the moments I have left that bring warmth into a very broken and turmoiled heart. The fact I am finding them again more than I expected is surprising. I built up a wall and it wasn't just the biker beard hiding me from the world. It's time to let some of those walls down. Not all, but some. Allow myself to be cared for again instead of rebelling and being hated. I've had enough of that for one lifetime. I need to let people in or I will not heal.

Current Mood: Happier, Less Sad.
Current Music: Eminem, Space Bound

No matter where you are, whether it's a quarter mile away or halfway across the world, you'll always be with me.

Back to the job search i go... not really anything to do right now but play turtles smash up and watch tv so i decided to wander downtown and look for a job. I am feeling really good at the moment and trying to ride this positive feeling as long as it lasts and not let anything get me down. Current Mood: Positive. Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another.

I hate everyone. I just pretend I don’t because I’m chasing this false inner peace, thats being constantly eroded by outsiders. I am happy, I was at peace. But I do see my country and more importantly my city for what it’s for and I’m getting angry again. Maybe I do need to be angry. Maybe I do need to rebel. Maybe I do need to speak out despite the fact that it can be used against me and hurt those I love. Nothing fucking new to me. This apathy has gotten me nowhere, this trying to be at peace was working but maybe I need to be angry, maybe I need to rail agianst the things that once were right have now went wrong. This isn’t a world I want my child growing up in, and he’s grown. But this isn’t the world I promised him. This is something else.  This city wants to pick a fight with me? Cool, I know what busybody bitch it is. Don’t think I will tolerate any threats to those that I care for or myself. You want to fucking start a war? Maybe it’s time for me to be angry again.

Someone Like You.

I know there are aspects of me, my personality and my life that you still like. It’s why you had my child and no one else’s. But I don’t colour within the lines enough for you to settle down with. That’s been acknowledged for two fucking decades. He’s an adult. I don’t need to answer to anyone anymore in my life. I wasted years fighting you when I should have been fixing you. But those moments are over.  All of our moments are over.  I don’t even need to be angry. I just need to be. You and I are toxic. I’m better off without you in my life. It’s a little less toxic when I’m the only one on the boat. Only the captain goes down with the ship. I’ve always known i would die alone anyhow. No family, no friend’s, no real accomplishments to my life. I wrote that line almost 30 years ago. Self fulfilling prophecy. At least that way when I implode no one gets hurts.  I was a fool to think otherwise. I’ve left too much damage in my path. I just want to be happy and at peace whatev...
