rain_drop and if pain is God's megaphone it's loud and clear...~toby mac - Subscribe
It's finally Spring Break!!! Well, it started yesterday when i got out of school but yesterday wasn't too fun...My brother was really annoying and got my mom really mad so she was yelling at him...Then she was yelling at everyone for everything...That got me really angry so i did what i do when i get angry, found an escape. But when i got on the computer she made me get off. So i quickly sent the ecard i made for my friend cause her b-day was today and i wanted to send her something and then i got off. I turned on the tv, at least she let me watch tv, and i tried to concentrate but i realized when you're that angry, you can't concentrate on anything. My mind was spinning, those evil thoughts returned to my mind, i had so much hatred i just wanted to scream and scream and scream really loud...Well i tried to watch the show that was on but before i knew it tears were getting in my way, streaming down my face. And i tried so hard to stop then and wipe them away, for fear my mom would come downstairs again and see me, but i couldn't...After that my anger had pretty much subsided, and my depression took over me...I went to my room, put on my headphones, and turned on my portable cd player. I searched and found a few cds i knew had deep, emotional songs on them and put one in, knowing it was too early to go to sleep. So for about an hr of just letting out my tears, ok i was still really angry, just not angry enough to put a hole in the wall, so i just let it all out...which is good somewhat but i know it's not good to be in that state when i just feel like there's so much to cry over...So i'm really glad it's spring break, i'm just not so happy i'll have to take a break from school here at home all week with my family. They're supposed to all go to some hotel one night just to do something, and i really hope they do because i'd rather spend some time alone then with them...maybe things will change someday...but for now i'm worn out and drained emotionally and physically, i'm sad, but there's things that make me happy..i'm sick of my family, i'm angry with friends who never ask me to do things with them. i'm excited, well i was excited it was spring break. i'm hurt. i'm lost. i'm desperate for someone to help me..I guess you could say i'm feeling a mirage of emotions right now...a mirage of emotions. i like that. but at the same time, i think i'm past feeling, for today. past feeling the pain and the hurt...for now. ~but tomorrow will come. and my feelings will return.~

here's one of the songs i listened to last night...

Stories
By: Toby Mac

We've been down to the bottom
Stories we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
To let the lost know that someone cares
Cause we've been down to the bottom
Stories we've got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
And let somebody know that the Most High cares

I never knew that it would feel like this
When the two that raised you up and call it quits
Nobody told me 'bout the emptiness
When the place you call home is closed for business
I push the pain down, I gotta "get by"
Always knowin' in my heart that it ain't gonna fly
Rock bottom's never felt so near before
And if pain is God's megaphone it's loud and clear
So hold me now father, human love ain't enough
I've failed and been failed by the people I love
But your faithful arms they surround me
And any other soul who has to sail those seas
Of a broken family

Been so many times that
I've been close to rock bottom
Tryin' to look for answers
but nobody's got 'em
Like the time my mother looked me in the eye
Tryin' not to cry, tellin' me
the cancer might cause her to die
How can this be,
I thought that God loved me?
So why would he
try to take my mother from me?
And as I cry myself to sleep at night, holding on my pillow tight
He spoke to me and said that everything gonna be alright
So I tried to fight all the pain that it caused
Try to move on and I try to stay strong
So put your hands up, hey, if y'all are feelin' me
And put your hands up for everyone to see
So put your hands up, we all a family
So put your hands up, in unity, in unity

I've been there too
When everything falls apart and the best you can do is
Get through each day wonderin' will this never end?
Is it always going to be this way?
And the greatest lie you've ever been told is that
You're the only one to ever walk on this road
And that you'll never see the light of dawn,
so we came together to say Hold on
Cause we've been there and found our way home
I promise you that you're not on your own
One day this will pass, God will see us all through
God will see us all through, God will see us all pass through

rain_drop we've been down to the bottom, stories we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom~toby mac Apr 5th, 2005 4:28:19 am - Subscribe
ok so i think this is gonna be pretty random since i wasn't able to get on the puter long enough to type anything in here yesterday or earlier today.

So i'll start with yesterday. At first it was fun because at church i was officially starting my first Sun. with the preschoolers and i got put with the four year olds. it was alot of fun but different from wed. nights. one girl was so cute and so much fun, she hung around me alot and told me how weird i was, but it was ok, cause she was a kid, and she liked the fact that i was weird. she even gave me a hug when i left. i can't wait to go back.

but then when i had to go upstairs with the ppl my own age, something changed inside of me, something that's hard to explain...i just didn't feel as excited, as happy, for one i knew our group wasn't gonna meet, so i didn't know what was planned. we ended up going out to eat, which was ok, not so much fun since a bunch of other ppl went with. i'm not yet ready to hang out in big groups like that, i'm more one on one and i read somewhere that when you are depressed you should stay away from large groups and i thought well that's not a problem cause i really don't like it. it's too uncomfortable...but maybe that's why i don't like it cause i just feel so overwhelmed and at the same time i just feel left out and alone no matter if ppl talk to me or not...

so the afternoon wasn't that bad or maybe it was. i stayed outside for awhile but i could still hear screaming coming from the house. my parents yelling at each other, my dad yelling at my brother, my mom yelling at my brother, everyone yelling and i'm just trying to read, outside. but oh well, that's all that's been happening lately. tooo much time around each other, that's why sometimes i really dread being here for the whole spring break, but then i don't wanna go to school either...i hate both, school and home.

so later on at night, i went back to church and i was just feeling worse. i really don't know what's wrong with me sometimes, i mean i should because it's me, and i probably do know just don't wanna admit it. it's like i'm lying to myself trying to tell myself that i'm ok when i know i'm not. trying to say i'm fine when i'm not. so i just didn't feel like trying to act like i was fine that night. not that i've been acting like i'm ok for awhile, but... when i let myself into that trap of feeling sorry for myself, indulging in my own misery, it just makes me feel a whole lot worse and i wish i could just make myself stop, like slap myself or something, wake up from, all of this...so during all the songs, i should have tried singing or focused on something other than letting my thoughts control me and take over...i had some awful thoughts of mean things to say to ppl of screaming at ppl, of telling ppl things i've kept from them, of what i would write the next time i blogged, of things i wished i could do but never could because of who i am and the fact that i wouldn't want to hurt anybody. i was really missing my friend too who's on vacation, so maybe i was just feeling like i had nobody to talk to either. i know i was def. feeling alone, lonely, lost, and all of those thoughts i feel when i'm like this. i just couldn't shake out of it. so right after i got home i went for a bike ride and it's amazing how clear my head was then. no thoughts at all like the thoughts i had at church, i was just focused on the ride.

so today was better, i sat outside and read practically the whole day. what i like about books is i can read and get so sucked into the story that when i stop to eat or something like that, i think about the story and characters and what's gonna happen next, like i'm stuck in their world, their time, their fantasy, cept it's not so much a fantasy sometimes. but it just feels so real to me, that's what i love about books and i can't wait to do it again tomorrow. it's true that every night when i try to go to bed i feel really awful about letting another day go by without spending some time with God but i just don't know what to do about that anymore cause i pick up the bible and i can't read it, it isn't one of those books i read outside, it's just different, it makes me so angry inside, makes me cry too much, become even more depressed that i'm, oh i don't know, it just stresses me out sometimes, just one of those things that i'll have to face eventually, one of those many things that i need help with.

and ever since the idea of putting me on anti-depressants was brought up i've been thinking lots more about it and i've convinced myself now how much i need them or something to help me. but i just have to wait and wait and wait now, and i feel like i'm going crazy, sinking lower. so far i have an appointment scheduled for sometime in may, that's the earliest they could get me in, and at first i was scared thinking what if i don't feel as bad then, but maybe still need them, what if i get better by then, and after that feel worse...but now i think that i'm just getting more and more depressed, and ever since i've thought maybe drugs could help me, that's all i'm thinking about is how i can't help myself anymore, but i can, i can stop some of the things i do, i just have to force myself.

so one of the things i did was invite my friends to come spend the night wed., i just hope they can come and that i can really be happy or at least in a good mood. i can feel pretty good in the moment of something but then just fall right back down when it's over so i hope this isn't the case. i'm sick of all these ups and downs, well it's more downs than ups but i'm still sick of feeling this way.

ok, i think that's enough for now even though i wanted to talk about the book i finished today, maybe i will some other time...

: When Joy Came to Stay by Karen Kingsbury

rain_drop the hurt she can't handle overflows to a knife she writes on her arm wants to give up her life~superchick Apr 6th, 2005 6:17:51 pm - Subscribe
ok so i have this old backpack of mine that i keep all my secrets in, just like things i write, all my old journals, thoughts, things like that, and i keep it locked up. so i was going through it today and i found this old poem i wrote 2 years ago this may, and it suprised me, not because it was good or anything (cause it's really not), it surpised me to know that this pain i'm going through started that long ago, cept that was when i was keeping hidden from everybody, even myself sometimes...so here it is...

Dying

My tears fall down my pale face
As i think of my life i've messed up
I push people away far far away
People at school, church, and on the bus
No one knows the hurt i feel
I walk in with a smile plastered to my face
Someday wishing for someone to care
To care enough to rip it off

My tears fall down my pale face
Like the rain trickling down my window
As i think of the people i love the most
And know they will be again snatched away
Cause nothing good seems to last forever
It's the pain and the hurt that stays so long
Like a thorn stuck in your tender skin
Tearing up layer and layer of your life

My tears fall down my pale face
Wishing for a finger to wipe them away
Calling out to God oh why oh why
Does my life feel so broken, so torn
People try to comfort me, doesn't work
They don't see my life every day
I try to put my faith in Jesus because
I don't want my hurt traveling to a knife

No kidding, this is what i wrote 2 years ago and i remember i wrote it right after i got home from school, the last day of my freshman year...what's weird is in lots of ways i still feel like that cept now i feel i have ppl to talk to and it's not so lonely sometimes...so my family all left today cause they're going to some hotel so a few friends of mine are gonna come over and we're having a sleepover party...so hopefully i'll be in a good mood and have a fun time. i'm looking forward to it, guess that's good. happy.gif

ok so last night was pretty fun. well lots happened that i could say wasn't good cause that's how i am, focusing on the negative but i'll try to just write about the good things. first of all A. and M. were the ones who came over B. couldn't make it cause she had something planned and lets see...i cooked frozen pizza!!! yes i really did and we watched musik videos cause i love musik and that was fun. then for awhile i put on rap to listen to on my stereo and they were getting bored and decided to play a game. So we played pretty pretty princess that was fun. A. won and she took a pix of us with her phone and sent it to someone. probably the guy she was text messaging all night long but i won't get into that. then they played again but i really didn't wanna so i just kept listening to musik. later we watched a movie i got from the library and i went outside and took a lil walk later cause i just needed some air. i just got overwhelmed at some point and needed to get away but i was ok after that...what else happened....oh then we were just pretty much bored because there was nothing to do, i can think of lots to do but the things i like i can do by myself cause that's what usually happens like getting on the puter, reading, i'm the only one that really likes rap so listening to musik, things like that so it's hard for me to think of things to do with other ppl. so yeah first i watched regis and kelly from the morning and then i put in my tape of old full house shows...then later on since my blog was on the puter i let them see it and i think they read the first entry i had but that's it...they really didn't say anything about it and i don't know, i kinda wanted to know what they thought but i wouldn't ask them. so eventually we went to bed, it was around 2 in the morn but it took me forever to sleep. i woke up about 8 hrs. later and watched regis and kelly from this morning and they slept and slept and slept... M. finally woke up when my parents got home cause she was on the couch and then she came in my room and laid back down...yeah so we laid down in my room the whole morning and i put on musik again cause i was really bored and i just wanted to read or something, actually i wanted to blog, but yeah i waited until they left. and for some reason i just feel relived now, but it was pretty fun and i'm glad they came over. anywayz i hope it sounded like i had fun cause i really tried to and tried not to let things bother me...it's just so hard for me to hang out with other ppl... happy.gif

ok, so i decided to update before i go on my bike ride, because i'm waiting for the sun to go down a bit more before i head off on my adventure. So last night i rented Raise Your Voice cause i really wanted to see it cause Hilary Duff was it in and i watched it. Sooo borring, well i think it was, i wasn't in the greatest mood and my dad was watching it to, he kept talking to my sister through the whole movie almost. That can kinda get on your nerves or at least on mine. The movie had too much singing then i realized that's what the movie's about that's why it's called Raise Your Voice. oh well, it was also very sad, throughout the whole movie. So many times, it almost made me cry but i couldn't, ppl were in the room. So anywayz, I borrowed The Village from my neighbor today, i had already seen it, but good movies are good over and over again. And this movie i thought was pretty good the first time. Well this time, it was amazing, i loved it, i loved it, i loved it. I just realized how good it was. And i watched all the extras and it said during the filming there was a blizzard and 14 in. of snow but right when they were about to move locations, it rained and washed all the snow away. i thought that was pretty neat. Anywayz i got to go now. Hope to talk to yall on im soon. ~Later~
