I was just sitting here, reflecting on the last year of my life... it's pathetic to know that I've been completely in love and completely hung up on the worst person to ever have emotional attachment to. It occured to me that said hang up is most likely WHY I'm stuck in this rut that I've been in. I've always been unhappy, I'll be the first to admit that, but I'm not who I was a year ago. I'm nowhere near the person I used to be, or the person that I know I'm capable of being. I've set so many goals for myself & tried to grow as a person, but I'm stuck. No matter how much effort I put in, it doesn't amount to anything. No matter how good things are going in life, I find a reason to be pessimistic and let it take over. I sit here and wonder why the hell none of my so-called friends will talk to me anymore, and it never occured to me until a few days ago that no one in their right mind would want to associate with someone who sucks the life out of everything. I need to detach myself from my emotional attachments, I need to focus on myself and give myself a proper chance to become a better person, and I need to learn how to be a lot more optimistic. They say frowning uses every muscle in your face. I really don't want a wrinkly, gross looking face by the time I'm 30 because of how pissed & negative I am about shit all the time. I guess... this is me, turning over a new leaf and starting a new chapter in the epic novel known as my life, because the non-existant God knows that this last chapter's been far longer than it ever should have been.
