not my night

I thought that I had this whole night planned out. I thought that it was going to be a nice romantic sort of night. Geoff and I were going to cook dinner together, then go out to a movie, and then come back to my house. As usual things to don’t work out the way that I plan.

So that leaves me home alone with Geoff at his place sleeping. We managed to make dinner together, but then he decided that we should take a nap before the movie. I knew what that meant as soon as he said it. . . the rest of the night was shot. And I was right.

Maybe I am being selfish, silly me wanting to go out on a date with my bf, what was I thinking? I let myself get all excited about it. I knew that I should have stayed with my gut feeling. Earlier in the night I was with Geoff trying to cash his check. Something came over me, I got really upset and sad. I kept telling myself that it was only in my head and that I just had to push the feeling away and look forward to the rest of the night. I tried to hard to ignore the feeling in my stomach, but I should have known better, for the same feeling has crept it’s way into my body and settled once again in the pit in my stomach. I should be studying for my midterm right now, but I know that if I did I wouldn’t remember anything. I am depressed. . . I guess.

It the curse that I carry. Apparently I am comfortable and people can easily fall asleep around me. Okay sure its cute the first couple times it happens, but every time I try to watch a movie, or go out, or anything the people around me are always falling asleep. It happened all the time with chris, and now it is happening again with Geoff.

Truth be told I haven’t felt like myself lately. I feel different somehow, lost. I don’t know what it is, but I can’t seem to shake the feeling. And the urge is back again. I am trying hard to supress it, but sometimes I find myself daydreaming about it. I am a mess, such a mess. I just want to break through this skin that is holding me in and scream my head off until I am out of air, until no more oxygen in present in my lungs.

I have been gone for an hour now. I still don’t think that Geoff knows that I am gone. He is going to sleep through the whole night and I am going to be awake, maybe crying, staring at the ceiling. I don’t know why I try.?

I know how hard it is to be depressed. I’ve been going through these bouts of depression my whole life. You’re never alone

I’m sorry to hear that your night didn’t go as planned. These things happen, but that rationale won’t make you feel any better. For what it’s worth, I do empathize. I think what you need to do is turn that curse into a blessing – sign up at a place for insomniacs, and work your charm to lull them to sleep. I guarantee they’ll come back for me, and once they’re hooked, charge ’em extra! 🙂

I don’t know what it is like to be depressed, but my ex is depressed and he can’t get out of it. Maybe you need medication. Maybe you need a better boyfriend. Maybe you should cheer up because you live in NEW JERSEY!!!! YAY!!!!

Also, you are a very pretty girl.
