Again in the confusion

By flolepoiro Friday, March 18, 2011

God sake

 

It's been years I haven't write something. I think I'm in a point where I have to share my feelings. 

 

Just like I said few years ago, life is organize with moments of happiness and moments of sadness. You just cannot be happy all your life. It is just like you had to have some moments when you have to think about yourself, about what you do, about your difficulties, and some where you have to resolved all the problems around you, and those moments are happy one.

 

I think we cannot just resolve all the problems in one. Everyday problems coming. "how people think about me ? about my laugh, about my hair, about the way I'm speaking, about my jokes..." or most importantly "Did I choose the right school, the right studies ? Or am I losing myself ?"

 

It's terrible. I'm always in doubt. Always in confusion about what I do, and what I should do.

 

I rode the messages I posted. I don't even remember them. I don't remember those feelings. I was just a old teenager. Now I feel like I'm an adult. I'm f*****g 20 years old now! I have to take many responsibilities, and I know I will have to take more and more of them. I'm just a lazy girl, who haven't think about those responsibilities. 

 

Lazy ! That's the big word. I feel the laziest girl in the world. Like I don't want to make a thing to be better or to earn my money. I always think people look at me like a parasit, the lazy girl who don't want to make a thing. I got some abilities, but I feel they are so few, and I don't use them as much as I should.

 

I don't know what I want to do in my life. I think I just want a soo easy life. No trouble, no soucy, no trap, nothing. Just living without problems. Sometimes I don't know why I decided to pursuit my studies. Why don't I just find an easy work and do it all my life. But I think there is no easy work. And I think I can do better, and be happy in a job I like.

 

It was "funny" to read my messages. I remember now I wanted to be loved by someone. I do now. I don't know what changed since I got a boyfriend. Maybe I am less independent. Independent in the way "individual". It means that I have to think about me AND my boyfriend. I just cannot act alone now. I cannot change my life in a second. It's not a prison, but it cut a little bit my freedom. And maybe this is what I want. But of course love is stronger than freedom. It is stronger than anything.

 

 

What would you suggest to me ? Stop everything, and have a moment just for me, to think about my life, about what I should do, and just find a cheesy work where I can be free of big problems ? Or continue in the doubt, and saying to myself that what I do is what I want to do, that it is just the beginning, and it have to be hard ? 

Runing, or accepting the truth ?

Flying or digging yourself in sadness ?

 

I like to have comments, even on my own life. I would like sometimes to have someone who tell my exactly what I should or not do. I like people to be clear, even to say bad things on me.

Flolepoiro, I am sorry you are feeling confused and hurting. I know I feel that way a lot. I am wondering if your first language is Spanish? Or italian? I speak Spanish, but not too good at writing it. I understand your confusion. And feeling alone despite your boyfriend. When I feel alone despite my boyfriend, I turn to reading Psalmls in the Bible. I often call a hotline to talk to someone who is compassionate. Or I find animals or nature to comfort me. I also cry and have conversations with God about whatever is going on inside me. And do things all day to take care of myself, a cup of tea, a warm bath, maybe a small treat to eat. I don't think we can figure it all out right away, as I wish I could too. I notice that I need to just come back to the moment when I start getting confused. Just start cleaning, make a cup of tea, etc. and wait until my mind clears some. Make a short list of to do just for the day and leave it at that. I wish you peace and clarity, Marishka

Hi there

 

Realize that I am coming from the perspective of "an old lady" of 46.  I vaguely remember my twenties.  Actually I remember them quite well...they were very hard.  This is a time of great transition.  You are an adult but you might not feel like one.  You are seeking identity...an occupation...a relationship...a place where you fit in.  There can be a lot of turbulence and second guessing. 

 

What would have helped me back then is to stop thinking about how others view me and start thinking about what I feel...what I want...what would give me purpose and meaning.  One year from now...five years from now...you will not care at all who you think...thinks of you as "lazy" right now.  It will not matter.  And I guarantee you are not lazy.  You are just introspective.  You are simply wondering which path is right for you. 

 

What feels right?  What does your gut say?  What does your heart say?  How do you want to make a difference in the world?

 

You will find your way...please don't beat yourself up in the process. 

 

And...it is okay to be still...and do nothing too...to think and contemplate...and figure out your direction.  Progress isn't always this rapid motion...it is a slowing down as well.

 

I wish you the best of luck.  Please do keep writing and sharing here.  We look forward to hearing from you.
