「文」学部内でも「エッセイ」が侮辱語として使われてきた（お前の書いたものは研究ではなくただのエッセイだ！）ので、そこもそろそろ改めてほしい。もう今年はエッセイしか書かないことにしようかな。

OMG! I JUST REALISED!!!

Today is my last day before I stop cutting again, this time, for good. (I hope.)

Don't judge me for this but...yeah.

I just remembered

what happened on the last day of school before winter break.

I found out about some rumour people had been talking about at lunch. They were saying that I had hooked up with this guy I was friends with last year. I sulked in a corner all through lunch and ate the homemade treats I had brought to share with my friends. Comfort food wasn't enough. So I went to the bathroom and sliced my hips. I felt like shit.

But cutting didn't help. It didn't. I only felt weak after that because I let some lying bitches pull me down to that.

I almost wish that they knew how it felt to have those urges. I hate myself for thinking it but I wish they knew what it was like to be a cutter. I'd never wish this pain on anyone else.

I've never been one to let things go

Shit happens. That's life.

Most people manage to move on and keep living.

But not me.

Shit happens to me and I dwell on it forever. I can't get over anything.

I realised, just last year, that all that weight, the memories collecting on my shoulders, might just be (at least part of) what's causing me all the pain I'm in.

I realised this in mid-April, I suppose. The irony of that, of course, is that's just when I started towards the chain of events that is weighing me down more than anything right now.

I can't even begin to explain what those events were, though, and I wouldn't feel comfortable doing so, even if I could.

Let's just say that shit happened and, for a while, I was really happy. At times. You know, I was going through hell, still, but what was happening then, and would continue to happen until just a few days before my 16th birthday (yes, my 16th birthday was ruined by this, without a doubt), really helped.

Until it died. In July.

And, yes, I KNOW it's late-november now. But some bullshit happened in between that prolonged my confusion.

Anyhow, I realised today:

Hoping for this dream to revive will hurt me more than it can help. The dream is dead. But I am not.

So, perhaps, in a way, I could say that this dreamer never really lost her dream--it merely ended. And, one night, a new one shall dawn to be set into memory.
