Divide

On the divide of what’s on my mind.

Everything seems to elude me.

While these toxic thoughts delude me.

Everything seem to confuse me.

I’m trying so hard not lose me.

While I stand on the divide.

Wondering on which side I’ll fall.

Battling my minds cabal.

Hoping I’ll succeed after all.

“Tax reform: 9 key players and how they could stop the bill”

POLITICO “Republicans are just a few steps away from accomplishing a decades-long dream — overhauling the tax code. But with the Senate hoping to vote on its tax bill in just days, at least nine Republicans may still need convincing about their party’s proposal.” MORE

Letting go of the past will probably always be difficult for me to get over. I wasn’t fully aware about my high-functioning non-sense and endured through a lot of bullying, painful manipulation from others, failed date attempts, public humiliation and emotional neglect from my peers growing up. I’ve sort of slowly developed this deep deep sense of bitterness and inferiority complex over the past few years because of it. I’m not very trusting towards people, if anything I’m overly cautious towards anyone outside of my inner circle and even then if anyone inside my inner circle of friends decided to act up I’m prepared for that outcome as well. I’m consistently always ready for someone to fuck me over on a daily basis. This paranoia isn’t blatant as I seem to put it, I’m not some belligerent asshole who writes others off because I don’t know them. I give others chances but my patience is thin and subtle. I’ve come to the realization that this isn’t a very healthy mindset to live with and I ponder if this is just who I am now as a person. Defensive. I don’t even know where to begin. I sincerely hope eventually I can at least curve this odd sense of coldness in my heart.

Does it make me selfish?

I have consistently been told throughout my life that I am a selfless person. I tend to put the needs of other before my own, but I never saw this as a problem- helping people makes me feel happy. Maybe its filling in some void in my life. The most selfish thing I have ever done is go away for college. I finally took my desires and put them before other's. I now have to pay out of state tuition, which is far more expensive than what my education would be if I caved and stayed at the university in my hometown. I now solicit the help from my grandparents who pay the difference in tuition after my father pays his part. My father agreed to pay the same amount for school no matter where I went, yet continuously reminds me how expensive my schooling is. Does it make me selfish that I went to a more expensive university to escape the corrupt life I lived in before? Am I selfish because I left my sister here to fend for herself with the same people and problems that I have the opportunity to ignore? 

These are the questions that I always find myself asking when I return home. It doesn't take long for me to remember why I left this hell hole, but I can never be 100% content with my decision to leave. A very strong sense of guilt and selfishness comes over me. My father comments on "my sense of entitlement" and "selfishness" that I seem to have, when in reality I carry the biggest feeling of guilt. 

I try to lessen the guilt by showing to my family that I am excelling academically and socially at school. This semester was the best I have ever done in school, and I did it with 18 hours. I was elected a position in my sorority and I remain actively involved. Do I get much, if any, appreciation and acknowledgement from my father? Does it make me selfish that I want to have some? 

In the end I am just trying to make the most out of the money, effort, and trust that is put into my education. I want people to be proud of me and I want to be proud of myself. Leaving home has given me a chance to grow and excel far more than I ever could have imagine. I have found opportunities to enhance my career and overall well being. Does it make me selfish that I did that to better myself?
