Angry Today

Add to Memories Share
p look pretty
I am so fucking sick of this emotional roller coaster.

I am so fucking angry at my sister for being a superior bitch.

I am hurt that I am not being asked to help pick out the picture of my dad to go in the obituary.

Who the fuck does she think she is.

I am a RECOVERING addict. I have not used drugs in 11 years.

I have not drank in 23 months and 12 days.

My past does NOT make me who I am today; no matter how much she says it does.

UGH

I am so tired. I am sick of this emotional roller coaster I am on. I am tired of other ppl trying to lay their guilt on me and do their grief about my dad. He as my dad. My sister; my niece and I are the ones who lost the most.

I am sick of my sister treating me like shit too. UGH

I miss dad so very much.

THUMB - The woman explained: “Before I pray, I hold my hand up in front of my face, with my thumb pointing back toward me. The thumb reminds me to pray for those closest to me–my family, my friends, my neighbours.”

INDEX FINGER – Wiggling her index finger, she continued: “Teachers used to point at us in school, so as I come to this finger, I pray for those who have been my teachers and spiritual leaders.

MIDDLE FINGER – My middle finger is the largest one. This brings to mind the leaders of our country. So I pray for them.

RING FINGER – The next finger is called the weak finger. When I come to it, I think of the weak, the sick, those who are poor and need help.”

LITTLE FINGER – Coming to the last finger-the little finger-she concluded: “Last is my little finger, which stands for me. That’s when I finish praying for myself and my needs.”

Daily ~ Weekly Horoscope

Add to Memories Share

Today you may have to brush up on projecting confidence that you really don't feel, all in the name of getting ahead. You may find that a setback you suffer is really short term, so pay it no mind. You will only make things harder by worrying, and worry will accomplish nothing.

You are moving forward with a romantic initiative and results are starting to show. But don't let up now that things are developing. You must keep working hard to achieve your goals.

Someone in your family may disapprove of the way you spend your free time, or the way you raise your children. They may let you know in rather blunt terms. Getting into an argument is not productive. Tell them "You are right, and I'm going to keep doing things my way, anyway."

Just as things are speeding up on the professional front, things are slowing down on the personal front, with a different approach required for each and a definite need for some real boundaries. At the same time that Mars, planet of passion, is slowing down in your romantic sector, getting ready to turn direct in 2 weeks time, Saturn is also slowing down in your relationship sector, getting ready to turn retrograde in the New Year. This makes it important to approach both your love life and your relationships slowly and it's by not rushing things that you're able to focus more on quality, than on how fast you're able to process from Point A to Point B. This makes it more about the journey than the destination, with the promise of second chances ahead.

After what seems forever, things are finally starting to move on the career front as Mercury, planet of communication and smart thinking, spends his first full day in your career sector on Monday. It's the sense that something was about to happen, that has been hanging over you for some time, that has made things so frustrating and what brings such a clear sense of relief this week. Mercury is a smart and strategic planet and joining up with Pluto for only the second time ever, you're ready to make things happen. With Pluto calling for change, the North Node providing a clear sense of direction and the brains to pull it off, this is the week when 2 of your most important career months ever, finally hits the road.

When Venus, planet of desire and money, left your financial sector last week she brought to an end all the activity either of your money houses will see for the year. This doesn't mean that the bottom is going to drop out of your financial situation, only that the stars have already invested all that they need to, in order for you to take it from here. It's now that they've passed the ball to you that you need to step up your game, knowing that you're not going to get any free rides. It's the financial desires that Venus left you with that will continue to motivate you, so hold onto them. As new career doors begin opening, these same financial desires are also likely to be influencing your professional choices and decisions. Set your goal posts in concrete and stand your ground.

Current mood: angry
I am writing this for me. I would like to get some sleep and get rid of this migraine. If you see yourself or part of something; dont ask. Do whatever it takes to be ok with seeing yourself in what I write. Thats not on me. Its on YOU. Oh, and dont ask me; if I wanted you to know; I would tell you.

You. We have been doing this dance for years. I have changed; for the better. You, I keep hearing you have changed; and yet you still show your true self. Which face did you put on today. I am done being "nice", cuz once again your actions are not just affecting you. You dont want to hear anything about how your actions hurt others. You can justify and rationalize that you were wronged too. Boo fucking hoo. Your not all that and a bag a chips like you think. There are more days than not that the ole me wishes and waits for you to step to me so I can and will finish "it". When its all said and done; I will be the one left "standing", TRUST.

This one is for more than one of You. I call and want me to help you at the last minute; and I do. Again and again. You see things in black and white. Your way; the only way and have no room for listening to what I have to say. What about when I need you for less than 5 fucking minutes. The TV was more fucking important. OR, your ex who has fucked you over a million and one times is more important. NICE. Thats ok; cuz next time you want my help; my back wont be able to bend. And I am quickly becoming ok with that.

You. I have been your friend for longer than probably anyone else. I have dropped everything for you time and time and time again. We made some promises and some deals and I have stuck to them. I sit and wait for you to call; cuz you arent answering my calls; again. So, I sit and worry and wonder if you are ok.

You. You break my heart each and every time I let you near me. Sometimes I dont want to be the responsable one. I want to say fuck it and do whatever I want to do too. If I treated you the way you treated me; you would hate me.

You. Pretended to be my friend to get to someone I love. You aren't the first; you wont be the last. I just caught on quicker than I have in the past and will continue to keep you at, at least arms length.

You. I dont trust EITHER one of you and never ever will again. FUCK OFF!

Its 4 am; I still have a headache/ migraine coming; I am still ready to fight or flight. I am still hurt and angry and LONELY.

FEAR AND PAIN. Trying to stay out of the anger. Not working so well right now.

Changes

Change happens~  all the time.  I am learning to live with change. 

I have found someone very special.  I truly believe that he is "him".  All my life I have searched for "him".  I am nervous.  I dont do relationships.  I sabatoge relationships; cuz dont ya know i always fuck them up.  I got honest about that with him. I told him all about my past relationships and how I feel responsible for there failures; and ultimately that they are my failures. 

He accepts me as I am; and he told me he loves me AS I AM.    Hello, do not wake me if I am dreaming. 

Reality is this... I am going for this 1000%.  I have nothing to tie me to my home town.  I can visit and call whenever I want.  Flagging is not a career.  I llive paycheck to paycheck and I am sick of it. 

So I am going to walk through my fear and meet it head on; and have a life with "him".  He wants forever, so do I.    I deserve this.

Rest in Peace Virgil W.  You were loved and will be missed.  This disease is cunning, baffeling and powerful; and I see time and time again people who forget that loose the battle.  WITH THEIR LIFE
