Happy New Year Chinmates
I really don't like New Year and feeling a bit low tonight. Try as I will to let midnight come and go without me noticing. Each New Year feels to me that it's a reset to try and become a better person and do everything "right" in the coming New Year. That I'll let people into my life and let these huge barriers down. But I know I won't. I'll still be sat here alone because it's better than being taken for a mug again or being hurt or having my mind destroyed again. How I don't know how to change how I feel or snap out of the regimented regime I set my life to where I don't actually achive anything more than I did this year.
My proudest achievement this year was going to the beach for a day by myself. Which is pathetic. But it was so outside my comfort zone, driving somewhere I didn't know, sitting by myself when everyone else was with a friend or family. But I did it and it was big...to ME. I think about the person I was when I did all the things I did in Mexico and I still feel so far away from being that person again. I desperately want to go away in 2023...back to the Caribbean...I love everything about it. Fear still holds me back though and I ask myself the same question...what is really stopping me? The break to my ridiculous routines? The unknown? That I can't just turn around and run back home? I haven't got a clue which it is.
Anyway, I didn't want to go on a big rambling essay, just feeling more alone tonight than I usually do and this came from my heart.
Aside from the beach trip, becoming myself on here has also been a big thing. You guys see the real me on here. I may sound full of hate some days, but that's only due to the subject matter. Really, I'm just a woman that wants to be wanted and for people to be happy I'm here.
Have a lovely New Year, each and every one of you
