Guilty that I enjoyed adrenalin last night.

We had to stop for gas in bad neighborhood next to where I lived when I was young. As soon as you cross into that city, there are no rules. Violence ever-present. People threatening to kill you for the smallest reason. (not actually threats, they will do it)

I had to watch three things at once, cops swarming youth (will they beat or shoot him?), road rage (will he actually shoot her, cops only 100 feet away!?!), and cars pulling in.

The adrenalin felt soooo comfortable, so good to actually need my hyper-vigilance, not like some abnormal freak. This is how you survive. But this morning, the guilt is on my mind.
 
Empty and unformed. Like a large piece of dampened clay, ready for a potter.

I need to be that potter.

I keep asking: What do you want to be when you grow up? I haven't really come up with the answer.
 
Just talked with T, feeling better talking some things out. Made goals to get to things I've been putting off. Had to focus on grounding myself so I would come back to the present. Discussed some objects I could use to ground myself into the present, so I decided I will buy a bracelet for myself. (Yes, I'm actually thinking of me!!)

If I feel like nobody else cares for me, than why not care a lil for me for a change? I know, I know, I haven't forgot the great people on this forum, don't be jealous j/k!

It all comes back to learning to love ourselves. I feel worthless and neglect me, cos I not worth it I know is it stupid. So little stuff like body lotion after a shower, hell on bad days even a shower.

We need to take care of our selves and I think you buying a bracelet is a great start. Let me know what it is like
 
KP - Yeah the little stuff matters greatly. I love lotion, a good soaking, ice cream, chocolate . . . lmao!! And I will tell you what it looks like - the bracelet. I feel the same as you. (((Hugs)))
