Having weird flashbacks to when I first dropped out of school at Texas State. For those of you who don't remember I did that Fall 2005. What would have been my junior year. Also, when I flunked a Psychology class at UTA by not going. That was one of my forever Senior years. I still don't remember much of what happened that semester.
I'm up and I'm not at school. I'm wishing I could go back to bed and turn off the world, but not today, folks. Today I'm writing a blog.
Here it is, ladies. How I escaped my mental anguish by stuffing my emotions into words and getting a job in writing. That's the thing. I don't know if I can write anymore. Writing breaks. It's like childhood. You write and you think you have something and it's not, it's not a glorious diamond that you've unearthed, it's your dog's drooly half-eaten tennis ball that you've found buried under the shed. And you think, Aw god, if only I had this experience or that person in my life, everything would change. If only I had asked to try out for the tympani drums sophomore year in high school that I had spent all night practicing for, things would be different. If only I were braver. Well, this is how it is. You are broken. Hacked. Desiccated. A husk.
Write on.
