i remember it all
especially what i want to forget
i remember when you told me i had bpd
why did i call your therapist?
i can't remember my line of reasoning
all of the embarassing and unhinged things i did with you
like a stain on my sanity
i saw myself as a victim
hellbent on manipulating the narrative
who was that girl
that version of me
and why does she still haunt me?
i get night terrors and cold sweats
when i see my bleached hair
Dear Journal… 📝
I just had to accidentally witness flashbacks today.
I was having an odd morning like i always do. Tired, i had a hangover from the night before and decided to at least get some stuff done.
Going to the bedroom, i fix my bed, organize the area around the tv and throw away any used napkins and water bottles. And as i do, i change into a gray shirt, black sweatpants and slippers—i ain’t going anywhere!
People don't know each other, don't connect with each other. I've grown up playing roles. I've grown up an actress. I should've won a million Oscars because I can be anyone you need me to be: if you need a hero, I'll be your hero, I'll play the perfect villian and the willing victim. I'll be the Big Bad Wolf and I'll be the damsel in distress. Just don't ask me to be me.
You don't want me to be me.
You don't wanna know about everything I hide and what I've been hiding all my days, you don't wanna see the rubbish and destruction behind the image we've both created for me. I can read your mind and I can make your fantasies come to life. That's the fun of me. That's what you sign up for.
Don't get mad that I leave. Don't get mad when I do. You're not here for the ugly parts, you're here for the fun, and the show can only last for so long before I get fucking exhausted.
I hate you because you love the mask, not me.
I don't really hate you. I hate myself because I'm fucking unloveable. I'm fundamentally screwed up and it's not your fault but you must leave before you see the truth. You must leave and never return before I look into your eyes and see the disgust and disapproval and disappointment because I'm not what you wanted. I'll cling, I'll attach, I hate that I do that because the ending was written before the play even began. I thought that you could love me. Even though deep down, this is what I am. This is all I am. All I'll ever be.
I wish I didn't have to be a ghost.
I wish there was a place for me.
The wishing, the hope, that's what has always killed me the most. I vowed to myself to find a way to kill it but I still don't know how to do it and still remain alive.
If I could just turn it all off. But I can't. And so it's the cruelest game of all. I'll always wish for something I was never destined to have, to be.

📝 Dear Journal,
I shit my pants last night on seeing Rick’s friend C.
I just woken up from a nap half an hour before deciding to join the young heroes movie night.
How do you tell someone: “I want to be held by you”?
I am terrified of touch. I avoid hands, fingers, bodies hovering over. I am terrified of meaningful touch. I can have sex with the first person I see down the street, but I won't let anyone hold me.
I want to be held by you. Good you, kind you, gentle you. Sweet, perfect, angelic you. When you look into my eyes, I see forgiveness. I see peace. I see home.
I want to be he(a)l(e)d by you. I want you to know me, to see me, I want to take off this heavy, heavy shell of mine I call skin for you. I want you to see me.
I am bad. I know that. I am very bad, I am absolutely horrible and disgusting and horrific. I can never be held by your perfect hands. Your perfect hands deserve other perfect hands.
Darling, you slip away like sand and I open my fingers. It's my attempt to be good, for once. It's my attempt at loving you.
