An open letter

[sorcyress]

Dear self.

Well, I guess this is just resounding fucking proof that you're not a functional human being. Your emotional stability should not be dependant on other people, ever. Grow up, stop crying, and pretend to be an adult. You know, that thing that you're so desperate for people to see you as?

Luv, me.

P.S: You're not worth it. Get over yourself.

You know, you don't have to just post on here, you can always tell me on IM.

Anyway, who told you adults are completely emotionally independent?

[marcmagus]

Either a pathological liar or someone who had no idea what they were talking about? Possibly both?

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Yuh-huh, I think I qualify as both.

Yes, and sometimes it's not any of your business, whatsoever.

I told myself. I tell myself lots of things, some more functional than others.

Dear thirdbase,
WHy is your journal from 1995 showing up in Kat's lj? Please call the CIA and ask them to look into it.
Regards,
thirdbase

Apologies, I appear to have run out of original words, and so must steal them from my friends. Your journal happened to fall through a spacetime rift into my lap, and I thought it convinient to copy.

PMS?

People are social creatures. Some people crave external praise more than internal pride. Neither way is "wrong" it's just different.

I could spout off a bunch of clichés right now about people not being small bodies of land surrounded by water, but I doubt that would be helpful.

PMS? Maybe. I'm not sure. The crying certainly is, but the general emptiness has been going on for too long to be considered a time of the month thing.

Mm. I can accept this, and it makes me wonder a bit which is more important to me. I think the internal pride, as that's the one that throws me more often. We'll see.

*shrugs* Cliches can be helpful, there is usually a reason they became cliche after all --because many people thought they were well said and used them.

Sweetie, it takes some people years, and I mean years, to be develop independence. It doesn't mean that they are not adults. It means they're trying and in process.

As for the "you're not worth it," harrumph. You most certainly are. If you are hurting, you are hurting and one of the best things you can do for yourself is to acknowledge that fact. Sweeping it under the rug and telling yourself to just buck up and deal only makes it go underground and then come out in the least appropriate times. Sure, on the surface you seem ok but underneath you're a roiling boiling mass of emotion and that can be damaging. One of my favorite quotes is that "Most men (people) lead lives of quiet desperation." It is true. Most of us barely skim the surface.

So, acknowledging your feelings, feeling them and then dealing with them is one of the best and most adult things you can do. Too many people don't acknowledge their feelings and then things get all kerflunked when the feelings seep out in other ways.
