I got straight A’s this semester.
And quite honestly, I don’t know how I accomplished that.
I did try hard this semester, as I do every semester, but I made an especial close count on the social aspect of my life these past few months and I thought they would completely alter my grade point average.
Turns out, I can stay as conceited as everyone perceives me to be. Completely sure of herself and her life goals.
Unbeknownst, I am actually happy. And I can say that with a strange assurance that is my gut feeling.
My previous life--the one where I was in a constant stage on teen angst and surefire suicidal tendencies--has seemed to emerge as a focal talking point in a lot of conversations lately and... Quite honestly because I am quite sleep deprived and quite drunk... I can’t help but speak of it as the lowest point in my life. I cannot pinpoint the cause of such depression (perhaps this diary will have a bit more insight?) but I can assure every party that I was indeed incredibly depressed and suicidal and weird.
Since I’ve been home, I’ve accidentally on purpose told my past people the true cause of my demeanor and their reactions have been nothing but... Unsatisfying...? I feel the need to tell everyone--every single human ever incorporated into my sad excuse for a teenage life-- just how messed up I was and I really just want to apologize to all of them.
I hungout with my ex-boyfriend’s ex-best friend  last night and he told me that he would constantly analyze the relationship I had with him and he would tell him, “how much do you really even know about her? Is this an actual relationship? You share all of your feelings, why didn’t she share any of hers?”
And unfortunately I know of the poor communication he speaks of. I kept my inner most thoughts to myself and only myself. I felt I could not trust another soul. And for what purpose would I even be allowed such human exchange except for entertainment purposes? I felt like a fucking joke back then.
Acquiring this knowledge just know (nearly two years after I ended the relationship) I cannot help but feel pity for my ex-boyfriend. Somehow, he was exactly what I needed, and yet, I was his unknowing worst fucking nightmare.
I am so sorry. I am so, so sorry. I couldn’t tell anyone of my thoughts back then though, and you knew that right? Did you know that? That I never told anyone anything about my life because I was so terrified of their shit reactions? I couldn’t even tell my psychiatrist and therapist at the time what what was going on inside my stupid head because I was so afraid of how they would react (...meaning, they would react in a way that I didn’t want them to and it would have negative consequences on my current super-intoxicated-state-of-mind).
I have no problem telling people how I was back then nowadays. I don’t give a flying fuck about who knows what about my previous life. I will tell them what I was going through. I am no longer afraid. Because I know my current life and current stance on living is so, SO much better than it was when I was friends with these people.
But... His best friend... The one that I’d grown close with in the end just because I quite honestly believe he gets off on the disruption of relationships.. Comes to me two years after I break up with his best friend and tells me he’s been questions his best friend (my ex boyfriend) about the accuracy of my relationship with him for the entire year we were dating. “He was just hiding it so you couldn’t see, but he was always so emotionally drained from you not telling him a single thing that was going on inside your head”.
At that moment I didn’t know whether to be pissed at him or pissed at my ex boyfriend for believing I didn’t love him for exactly the way he was and exactly the way he treated me--like I wasn’t some crazy suicidal but really just a teenager high on drugs probably far too often to be healthy and completely madly in love.
I told myself I wasn’t going to text him.
I texted him a few minutes ago. It’s late and I don’t really expect a response, but maybe I’ll get lucky tomorrow.
The friend I was previously talking about told me his least appreciated aspect of me (once I got him well intoxicated, of course). And do you know what he fucking told me? He said that his least favorite aspect of me--the only reason why I couldn’t be considered a pure human being to him--was that I was so fascinated and completely obsessed with the idea of death.
I cannot deny that back then I didn’t feel the need for a tree to fall on me or to get hit by a bus or to take too many Alprazolams (whoops?) and never wake up... But, for someone to out rightly say that my depression was their least favorite part of me? I can only control that to a certain extent. And at the time, I thought... I thought he knew that. I thought he knew better than my boyfriend, better than my best friends, better than my weed dealer, that if you were to associate with me at all then you were going to have to become acquaintances with death as well.
He followed me everywhere. Death. I tried for days and days and months and non-fucking-stop to get rid of him but some days it was just so tiring and it was just so much easier to hide behind a brick mailbox than confront my feelings to myself and to inquisitive others. Â
Side note: I am completely, honestly, and totally content with my life right now and it’s the strangest feeling. I can’t remember the last time I was this happy and honest to man intrigued about the future (perhaps this diary can inform me of such a date).
