some truths

I feel disconnected from my past.

I don't always listen to people as well as I could.

I want to be totally at ease with another human being.

I can never finish work because I have horrible work habits.

I often think that I am a sham--some people for some reason think highly of me despite the fact that I've not completed anything of real significance.

I may not have the capabilities to do the only kinds of things that could give my life meaning.

All the worrying I do isn't worth much if I don't do anything with my life.

I fear that I will never live the kind of life I want to live.

Sometimes, when I think about all the things I could do with my life, nothing seems important enough to be worth doing.

I do not know what to do with my life.

I miss my father.

I expect too much out of people and situations and often end up disappointed.

I expect every moment to be extraordinary--I need every moment to be extraordinary for it to seem worthwhile--but life is not constantly extraordinary.

I do not feel like an adult.

I feel days slipping away from me now and I fear I am not living them well enough.

I worry that the only way to be truly content is to detach yourself from desire, but I do not have the courage to try this.

I am going to sleep.

I feel lots of the same things, Teebs, trust me. I think that it's OK to feel this way, though, because at least you recognize something (or things) you want to change, right? Too many people just go through life not really caring about getting to the bottom of what they feel/want in life... but at least you're acknowledging them and can move forward from there.. you know? Just something I've been thinking about lately...
