Wow has it been a while since I have updated. I can honestly say I have been avoiding this blog. I’ve been afraid of myself. Crazy I know. Hence the title of this blog. I have been feeling a lot more up and down in my emotions of late. I feel I’m on the ride of a huge change and not the change I want.
Recently I have been a complete a-hole to some of my biggest supporters and friends. I have been into myself a lot more than I can remember in a current time. But the reason I have this feeling of talking about myself so much is I feel I need to validate myself. I feel like a fake. Lost. I’m not brave or courageous for doing this transition. I’m selfish and take out a lot people in my wake to get what I want. Just your basic bull in a china shop. I’ve done it all my life why stop now?
Who knew at a year and a half I would really start to feel the isolation of this transition. I moved away from a lot of support in Nashville. I couldn’t afford to stay and didn’t want to break into the music industry there (it’s a good ole boy club and I’m just queer). Well nine months post graduation, I’m still not doing anything with my degree and bitching about it the whole way without really trying to fix. I’m not scared to fail. I’m scared to succeed.
I am terrified of success. I’m so much better at being a failure that success seems like something so far away and alien I don’t think I know what I’d do if I got it. I miss having a therapist, so this is my therapy temporarily.
Yes I know after reading this you think I need to up my medicine. I agree. Something isn’t working. The highs are higher and the lows are lower. Life as bipolar.
