I keep trying…

It helped to write that last post. At least it helped enough so that I got a few things done around the house and felt a little more hopeful. But of course, you get things done and they start piling up again. I can’t seem to get past dishes and laundry. Writing the last post made me think about how I have very little time for creativity in my life. I need more time for creativity. I get frustrated, get to hating on myself, because I simply do not have enough energy. I need to really find or conserve some kind of energy for creative pursuits. I have to keep on trying to find time to write. I dropped the ball this week–been busy at work, working late. I have been finding a little time for things I enjoy. I’ve been reading more. I’ve been going out of my way to take some pictures of beautiful things. All good.

As I write this though, I realize I am basically trying to say the same thing as in my last post. I need to make time to write more. It seems I am spinning my wheels. Ugh. I am very much stuck in this vicious cycle. Somehow I have to try to break out…write about myself, yes, but write about other things too. Ultimately I want to do more creative writing.

I can’t spend much time on this writing now. Going up north to me my mother even though I would rather stay home.

Can’t stand myself…

I hate to write this. I hate to feel like this. I hate myself right now. Okay. It helped to write that because it made me realize that hate is too strong of a word. That is too strong of a sentence. I guess I am so depressed right now that feeling anything with any sort of strength is impossible for me. I just can’t stand myself. I am in self-sabotaging mode. Well, as much as I will let myself fall into that. I just lay around when I am not working. If I get up to do anything it is to buy things online and I really don’t have to get up to do that.

I want to write. I want to write about the good in my life but I tend to dwell on the bad. This awful feeling of being unmotivated and uninspired. I am looking for inspiration, thus the shopping. I know I don’t need anymore crap though. I just need to get busy and do things, write, live life, etc. I can’t though because I am stuck in this black hole. It sucks away all my positive thoughts, creativity, and imagination. This post is my way of reaching out of it, of trying to break through.

I have to attempt this every day. As meager as it may seem, and as boring and/or short.
