Downward
Hey there, whats up?
~ Nothing much
Hows life been?
~ Pretty good
Well, sorry. But I lied
It hasn't
In fact,
This last week has been the worst
The worst of my life
Monday, July 23:
Swim practice
Out of the pool
Bee sting on my foot
Tuesday, July 24:
I wake up
Wheres my cat?
My best friend,
The most important thing in the world?
Wednesday, July 25:
She's still missing
We can't find her
She's probably been eaten
Her name was Freckles
She was everything to me
It sounds so pathetic
But she was the only constant
The only one who ever stuck around
I have a life
I really do
But I loved her more than anyting and everything
She was by my side for 7 years
Thursday, July 26:
At the beach
Got stung by a stingray
On the other foot
I haven't cried all week
I haven't shed a tear
About anything
Friday, July 27:
My foot starts swelling up
From the stingray sting
And I still haven't cried
Saturday, July 28:
In the ER
Untill 4am
I can't walk on my foot
I'm out of commision
For running. swimming, and water polo
I'm doing those things 5 hours a day
And I still haven't cried
Sunday, July 29:
I start to crack
From all the sadness
And shitty luck that I've had
I have to accept Freckles isn't coming back
And that I'm not going to be able to do anything
And that I can't even properly cry
I should cry for her
Mourn her
And I can't
I hate that
It sound so stupid
But the thought of her being gone
I almost went back to my
Little habit
I'm so pathetic
But really, I'm not
She was everything
And now shes never coming back

I once heard it put this way,
I once heard it put this way, and it made my day better--maybe it'll help you..
"If we threw all of everyone's problems together in a pile, you would be so terrified of everyone else's problems that you would quickly grab your own back and be content."
So just remember, everyone has tough weeks, but everyone also has great weeks. Don't dwell too long on the ones that upset you. Focus on the positive.
Writing always helps me sort out my thoughts and emotions as well, so don't be afraid to keep writing about the same situation in different ways--maybe you can write a follow-up about coming to terms with loss or pain. Turn this experience into something to look back on and be proud of, not just sad.
Keep up the writing, and keep your head up!
If you want to view paradise, simply look around, and you will. Anything you want to... do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it.
