A Moment of Weakness
Posted by: homelessgirl on: September 7, 2008
These are a new series of posts that I will be doing from time to time.
Because I love to write and I bought a notebook about a year ago I have been writing down thoughts, ideas any thing really. And whenever I felt at my lowest point at a moment of weakness and just didn’t think I could go on I would write. Sometimes with tears on the page and sometimes with such ferocious writing you could not read. I hope you enjoy these as they mean a lot and are very personal. Thank you again.

23. 09. 07 – A moment of weakness
” As I watch people walk past me carrying their shopping bags and hold their head highs in content, contentment which they find in various ways. I sometimes think to myself: I wish I was someone else, somewhere else. That every memory of who I am, every feeling, emotion and pain would leave me. That I could go for a while I could be free.
But I cannot, I have no option for giving up. I want to fail but I cannot, I want to die but I have nothing to kill me because it would be too easy to leave and no one would remember me.”

That’s one fo those concepts where you have to stop wanting to get what you want.
Like the more you pine after happiness, the further away from being happy you are.
So the only way to be happy, is to stop longing for it.
If only it was that simple.

There is nothing complicated about it. You choose what you focus on. If you focus on thoughts that help you, you will feel stronger.

you know I didn’t really know what to expect when I wrote this post, and I’m glad I took that risk your feedback is awesome. And I’m surprised that I already have comments and the blog is less than a week old.
Anyway you know, i don’t want to do any shameless self promotion but tell others about it e.t.c cos i really love reading comments and people’s reactions. It makes the work worthwhile.
Thanks again xxxx

The desire to disappear, to quit being you, is compelling and alarming at the same time. Your lack of contentment may come from the fact that you are a thinker. It is difficult to take responsibility for what you think about, and yet that is the only way to contentment.
