Alone

For the past two months, everybody around me has been pretty happy. Some people have been planning their summer vacations, studying for finals and anticipating summer. Everybody has been happy..except me. I have been in a dark place. I have been alone. I feel like all of the positivity has been drained out of me. I feel like everybody has turned against me and that people have forgotten something they shouldn't forget. I just wish somebody understood me and would stand my my side at home. Sure, my friends are always there for me at school, but unfortunately I can't drag them home with me.

One of my friends is also going through a tough time now, and was quite concerned about me. She told me her story, but I just couldn't share mine. She told me, "I know how your feeling right now. When you walk around these hallways, everybody asks you if you are okay, or if anything is wrong. I got sick of it so just fake a smile. It works for me.." So that's exactly what I did, I faked a smile. I just felt bad that I had to let all my negative energy out on all my friends, they didn't deserve that. They were always so supportive, and I could always count on them to cheer me up. But as the days went by, it became harder and harder to fake a smile. I sometimes lost it in class, sometimes I went to the bathroom for awhile and cried until somebody else came. My teachers and my friends still knew something was up, no matter how hard I tried to hide it.  Lets just say school hasn't really been a cake walk for me the past few months.

..home is another story. Home for me right now is hell. There is no other word to explain it. I just can't act normal anymore. I try my hardest to cope, but I just want to rip and scream and punch everything in sight every time I sit down to eat dinner. Of course I don't do that, so instead of letting it out, I bottle it all up. I know its not good to do that, but I don't see what else to do! I have vented at the dinner table once, and what do I get? I get people telling me that I am being over-dramatic and that what I'm saying doesn't make any sense. Isn't that what venting is? Its just letting out your feelings in any possible way just to get it out of your system? Venting isn't supposed to make sense, and the rest of the people sitting down at the dinner table should know that as well because they also vented as well! They don't get a, "Stop being so dramatic!" or a "That doesn't make any sense." They just get a nice pat on the back and they resolve the problem like there never was one; like life is back to normal. Everybody has almost forgot what happened, and the person who caused all this madness is basically getting away with it. ..and do you want to know what really grinds my gears? The person that did everything is now starting to treat everyone else like garbage! 

Sometimes people aren't who they seem to be, no matter how well or long you've known them. One little thing can change everything. Its just life, and like I have said many times, LIFE SUCKS. At the moment I am living in a stressful, chaotic, loud and dark environment. I know that one day things will get better, but for now I'm just going to have to live with it. Literally.

xx Nathan

  7. Yet again, you have impressed me, young man. I am studying English at UOT and I think I'm going to get my teacher to have a look at this if you don't mind. The way you pour your heart out amazes me and you have a bright future ahead of you if you continue writing! I can feel your pain through my screen. I hope you can find happiness in your life very soon. I look forward to reading more. Stay strong.
