Random thoughts on my 44th Birthday!
*****Did you know you were born on a leap year. You were born on the 223rd day of 1976 8/10/76 around 6:30 pm in the evening. Every year your birthday is on the 222nd day of the year (outside of leap years). You are a FIRE LEO born in the year of the dragon.******
I’m sick of this same shit. I’m sick of feeling broken. I’m sick of searching trying to find something to fix me. I’m sick of holding on only for my kids. I’m sick of this shit man. Sick of uncontrollable tears. Sick of wishing for nothingness but being afraid of death. Sick of brief moments of joy because in the back of my mind I know this feeling and these demons will be back. Just sick of it!
Can I go back to feeling myself without care of my flaws? Just seeing me as the greatness inside me? That cocky confidence where I knew the world belonged to me…How do I go back to it? Is it even possible?
I want to dream and believe again. I want to dream big dreams and believe that my dreams will manifest to reality. I’m tired of seeing my dreams die but I’ve become jaded and used to it. My hope levels are depleted while my motivation to fight is fleeting. Depression is real and in 2020 it’s double trouble. COVID, social unrest, feelings of survivors guilt, mixed in with my usual feelings of sadness, failure, being stuck in this morbidly obese 540 pound body, and a meaningless existence has me to the point that I want to throw my hands in the air and just walk away. Man all I really want is to feel happy again, to enjoy life again, to have a dream to fight for and a meaning to live for. Is that too much to ask? What will it take to bring this to pass? How long must I continue to endure? Do I really want another trip around the sun , especially if nothing gets better? So many questions and on this born day of inflection and retrospective I don’t have any answers. Happy MFn Birthday to me! Happy GD MF Birthday!
