How different it may feel for me but to be honest, I've been so down these past few days. Including this Christmas season. There are so many reasons for that but it would take a thousand words and a lot to scroll down if I would ever dare to post it here.
First, it's past 4 AM now and I am still wide awake here in front of this computer because I feel the need to be here. In fact, I just sneaked out from the house and went down here in the office to use the computer. Sadly, my computer at my mother's house have been beaten down wildly by them. They might have used it so badly, it doesn't open anymore.
I am just here to speak up some truth, I guess after all, things that happened have eternal reasons to it.
I was talking with Richard about some things that happened in the past two years. There are things that I discussed with him that happened before I actually met him and things that happened before, that he was in fact there when in happened but he hadn't paid any notice to it. Our conversation started with the thing about how my memory was so 'real-time' and 'charged with a bigger memory space' when it comes to memorizing and remembering things that happened in the past. Like what color his shirt was or when was it happened exactly or the worse was the entire conversation I had with people or other people's entire conversation with others and its complete sentences that I actually remember.
And we found it was serious to deal with when he, on the opposite, doesn't pay much attention at all.
It struck me with the idea of anything that when something happens, the images, the sounds, the words, the colors, the smell, the people's facial expressions and even the entire event will stay in my head for the rest of my life as long as I live. And it scares me.
That is why I am here.
I just can't sleep.
Because of something that happened.
It's like a record, kept of tuning into my head.
L.I.S.
LAST IMAGE SYNDROME
Well, that is the first matter that I want to discuss here. Long enough? Yes, that is why I have no intention to tell all the tales because this would become a novel-- an excerpt from my mind.
The second one is.. Becoming our class president became so tiring that I feel the need to slap anyone's face just to make it at school. My classmates are all bastards. Of course, except Melisa, Jessie, Yrika, Alvie and Jonas. They are my friends. The rest? Yes, bastards.
Off topic: I'm currently illegally downloading the movie The Scarlet Letter because it is a project in World Literature. We have to watch a movie and make a movie review. Sounds so American High School, eh?
Back to our topic, I have so many things in hand that my hands are not enough to do those things. This third matter is that, I feel like quitting school. Of course I won't. Though we can't predict my stupid mind would make when things go wrong.
And speaking of things going wrong, I made a bad, so bad mistake last Christmas day. If confessions would permit.. I stole something. Okay, enough.
The next one are.. Losing weight, sticking to the 'First things first' and being positive have been so much an issues nowadays. I'm having my lowest self-esteem so far in recent years! And if that neighbor wasn't that grumpy at all, I would have screamed like Rose.. Telling the whole world that I am indeed the queen of the world.. Then why things are so hard for a 24-year-old-student?
The most saddening part this week is finding out that a dear friend of mine have died last week, days before Christmas. The thing is, I was thinking if the steel bars on the second floor in our house could hold my weight if I tried to hang myself there with a rope. I know this is so silly but having been so deeply depressed like these, it would be impossible not to try killing myself before the Man Upstairs.
I was really waiting for a miracle that is why I stole that..
Urg! Enough Elleine, enough.
So there.
That are some of my concerns at the moment.
I'm seeing things and people. And I believe it is just insanity.
I know that I have to take myself back on the track, keep going and forget the past.
But how? When now, my definition of the past have changed just in a week. For me, 'past' is 'my friend' and 'all their lies' and 'heartaches' and my very own 'illness'.
Anyway, how to get myself altogether is a question so far because I'm in a hurry to do all the things to do. I only have a week to do school and house stuffs before the school resumes on January 5!
I even have a report in Presentation on that day if I'm SOOOOO lucky!
Pahinako, let us be together my friend for a long, long time!
Help me fix this trouble of mine this holiday.
I want a really beautiful New Year.
