And others, it seems that so much has happened since it must be 20 years. But wow, three years. It has not gotten any easier, I can tell you that. And although I am told I will get used to it over time, I definitly still have my moments where I turn around and say hey dad! or I look out the front door and just want to wait for him to emerge from his car as it sits in the driveway. The car I drive now. In the glove compartment there is still some of his CD's and dare I say, tapes. And a napkin, that had a grocery list scribbled on it. I don't knw why I keep these things, I'm just afraid I'll forget him I guess. I forget how his voice sounds. That scares me. I've been so caught up in my own troubles, troubles that I have caused myself because I don't want to deal with reality, and I can't even recall the sound of his voice. It makes me sad. We were so close, and when it came down to the end I was just so stubborn and refused to believe that anything bad could ever happen to him. Now look. I missed saying goodbye, I missed giving him one last hug, one last kiss. For what? A trip to the beach. One louzy day I could have been with him, an I went to the beach. I feel like I should never forgive myself for that no matter how many times someone tells me to move on. But, by not forgiving myself I am destroying myself. And although I miss my dad terribly I need to stop thinking of my past, what I had, how I lost it, and I need to concentrate on right now, the future, and who I will become. At this rate, I may not become anybody. I don't want that to happen. I'm allowing myself to just, BE. It was more, forced on me per say, by someone who I will probably never talk to again and that hurts, but if that's how it has to be, it will be. I was such an anry person before, and not to say I'm not now, but in the few days since my lat messed up, accidental medicine mixing neurotic craze, I've changed. Or atlesat I think so. I'm less irritable. That, I'm sure is apparent. So I guess I will jsut take it from here. Slowly. I blew a lot of opportunity to get to this point quicker because I was stuborn, and foolish, and selfish. I had my priorities mixed up big time. So maybe everyday wnt be partying and fun, but then again, it wasn't so fun to not remember how I got home, or why I woke up on the bathroom floor and wonder why no one in my family seemed to mention this, or do anything about it. And so its my turn to take action. If they wont do anything, I have to. So what if I cry. I'm still a tough kid. So yea, I'm going to be sad my dad isnt here, and yea I may cry, but I'm done worrying about who see's me being "unkhartlike' because I don't even know what khartlike is. All these things I say I am, they dont interest me per say anymore. So, this year, I hope to become someone different, someone better, and I hope not to back down on my word to change, because I'm tired of being hypocritical and lame. Ok, I'm done with my revelation. Peace out. |
