January. 2011: SECRETS MONDAY!

[onceupon]

Not only is it the first Monday of the month, it's the first Monday of the new year! How awesome is that?

The rules haven't changed:

1. Leave an anonymous secret.
2. Interact with other people leaving anonymous secrets.
3. Don't be a douchebag.

Happy New Year!

We have 9.00 left for the next two weeks. And I have enough food for one week. Hoping the gas lasts until paychecks arrive in two weeks.

the friend i always spend christmas changed her plans and didn't tell me. the friend who'd invited me to her new year's party never sent me the details. the second i can handle as it's a fairly new friend, but the first? i thought i was family. guess not. i still have a big pile of presents in my bedroom.

Today I felt utterly destroyed by the fact that I did something nice for my coworkers and no one bothered to give a crap about it. Then I went home and got proof that I am unbelievably loved and cherished by at least a few people in the world.

There's so much, I hardly know how to put it into words.

My mom, who is barely even old enough to BE my mom, has cancer. I want to tell people about it, but I don't know how to broach the subject without feeling like I'm fishing for attention. Plus, then, I'd have to talk about it.

I'm in love with one of my best friends, and going through one of my periodic streaks where it's harder not to just blurt it out. And I absolutely can't tell him, not if I don't want to spook him completely. And I know this for a fact--it's not just self-doubt talking. Usually I'm okay with my feelings, but, sometimes... This situation is far more complex than I really have the words for, and there's nowhere at all online that I can talk about it

I don't have anything specific to say to you, other than it sounds like you could really use a hug. FWIW, have an anon-hug and know that at least one person is hoping you get good resolution on these things soon.

Thank you :)

I knew I had a lot on my mind, but it wasn't really until I spent all day yesterday trying to think of how to sort it out that I really knew HOW much, you know? Sheesh. No wonder I'm tired all the time.

Today is my mother's birthday. My sister just posted the following on her facebook wall:

"happy birthday mudda!!!! i love you so much. you are one of the greatest people i know in this world. you have an understanding of life and how to live that i hope to some day have. your deep desire and dedication to the faith is inspiring. your words and explanations helped me see the reason for dad leaving. you comforted me when i felt i couldn't be comforted. you've guided me through my whole life; protected me and loved me. you held my hand when i lacked strength. you lifted me up when i fell. thank you for being my rock =) i love you so much ♥ "

And I think, who the fuck is this awesome mother, and why didn't I get any of that?

Fuck you very much on your birthday, mom. You're a neglectful and abusive bitch who doesn't deserve to have my children as your grandchildren. I guess thanks for not involving yourself in their lives at all.

Maybe she didn't really have that awesome mother, either, and is feeling obligated or pressured into posting something like that. Or is struck with temporary sentimentality (it happens to all of us...). Or...maybe your sister has just as much a messed-up world-view as your mom does. Either way...*hug*
