There’s nothing worse than feeling shut out.
I made someone feel that way tonight.
I made a poor choice, based in fear.
Instant regret and gut feelings don’t help.
A prompt amends is even too late.
Can I show up for her?
Will I show up for me?
We both deserve it.
Or will I continue to think my way into right action?
..So my ego gains confirmation that I truly am unloveable.
I won’t try this time.
I’ll actually do my best.
But for now, in this moment, I can allow myself to be sad.
Having repeating conversations about my part doesn’t feel good. Never has.
Feeling like I’ll never be enough doesn’t get easier.
Wreckage, ugh.
Not sure what’s more paralyzing.. The sinking feeling created by guilt and shame? Or the deep wound left after your lover doesn’t kiss you goodnight and you’re so shut down that you can’t speak up?
I literally have lost my voice.
What does this mean?
FUCKING ALCOHOLISM.
