I cannot stop crying.
I don't know what it is.
Maybe it's an underlying feeling of incompetence
or just the fear of the unknown.
everything has gone wrong
but I don't know what this 'everything' is.
Anticipation and
Or just insecurity?
I don't know what to expect in the next few months
tears? yes.
but will they be tears of defeat or joy?
I feel ill-judged
I can't stop crying.
I don't know what it is.
I know I could and will do better
if I had just stuck to my comfort zone
I would not be in the situation I am in now
underpredicted
no hope
rejection
But they say
before something good happens
everything falls apart
and you know what
maybe that's true
maybe these feelings of pure depression
that leave me bed ridden
stuck
unwilling
lethargic
praying for an escape
are just the build up to something great.
I hope this 'great' thing comes soon
(it better be worth it)
but for now
I can't stop crying.
I still don't know what it is.

Sometimes it be that way. Actually sometimes when I feel this way and I accept I'm just in THAT MODE it helps me a lot, like just to let myself feel that sadness/worry/etc. I have phases or periods where I just cry a lot more for no obvious reason. But I feel like there's something helpful about it, like your body is trying to do something, tell you something? idk.
ReplyDeleteALSO btw I don't know if you've realised your address is "monochrome daisies" but your blog header says "monochrome daises"?
Sending you really soft internet tissues :-)

Acceptance is the first and biggest step, I definitely think it's a sign of something like you've said. Thanks for the love

ps- I had NO idea I had a typo in my blog header; it's been like that for over a year! Thank you for pointing that out haha
This is so beautifully written Dalal, but I'm so sorry you're feeling like this right now. Its true what they say about things falling apart before they fall into place, keep believing and you will get to where you want to be!

Ah thanks Lucy, I'm in such a weird space of mind and I'm trying to my best to get out of it. I'm just hoping and hoping that it all does

Sometimes u genuinely need these periods of non-stop tears, to feel horrendously shitty. And you need to ride them out, let the feelings of dissatisfaction, sadness and negativity just manifest and flow through your system. Let it be! Sending you so much love, n' u can always send me a DM on insta or anything if you ever need to rant! xxxxx
ReplyDeleteI've accepted it as something that is meant to happen to me for me to be able to get on with my life. It just makes you feel really weak, worthless and hopeless. I hope I can get over it soon :/ Thank you for the love, Zoe- I really appreciate you <3
DeleteDalal
I hope you start to feel better soon Dalal, sending you all the love! But I think it's true, you have to go through shit times to get good times and it may feel never ending but it will end and you'll have moments of peace. Here if you ever need to talk! Also, this poem I beautifully written x
