Jesus, it's been three months since I posted in my journal. But then again I just haven't been posting anywhere. To be honest, I'm not really sure what the deal is with me. My life hasn't gotten any worse, if anything it's gotten better. But the responsibilities of a full time job are still there, and for some reason when I work full time my brain refuses to work.
After I get some things settled, such as leaving my terrible roommates, I'm thinking of dropping to part time so I can enjoy life with my boyfriend. In the three months that I stopped writing here, I've been spending time with him. The separation changed him for the better, and he has been pretty good to me. I gave him another chance simply because I saw how much he loved me, not because of the suffering he was going through without me. I have watched another person "suffer" without me but never showed how much he loved me.
He's a good person, he's just young. And when I put in a little more effort to make him understand that I do care about him, he tries even harder. I don't think I made a mistake in leaving him, but I also don't think I made a mistake in giving him another chance either. Because honestly, the sex has been fucking amazing and he's the one constantly wanting it instead of the other way around like before. Plus he makes an effort to pay attention to me now which is great.
But other than constantly lurking on this site without actually contacting anyone to start a roleplay with, I haven't been doing much. I just think this is the full time job syndrome to me. There isn't enough time in the day, or at least there isn't when I want to do something. I'm always tired and stuff.
Been thinking about religion a lot lately. Watching people who used to be non religious convert over to being a Christian. That's great and all, I want to find a religion that works for me though. They keep asking me why I can't believe in what they do, but I just can't worship a God that I don't want to believe in. A God that supposedly sends every non believer to hell even if they lived their lives much better than a Christian has. I think my family has a lot to do with it, so called devout Christians yet they sin every single day on purpose and then go to Church Sunday like nothing was wrong.
I always thought that you had to acknowledge your Sin to be forgiven for it. But my mother never has, she always thinks she's right and never does anything wrong. My mom lies a lot now, specifically towards my dad. I remember growing up, my mom used to punish me severely for telling a lie, no matter what it was. I never did anything inherently wrong, but she would over react to the point where I had to lie to protect myself from being beaten, which she did a lot. I remember my friend letting me borrow a book once from the library, a book that I had forgotten to give to her before the weekend. So of course there was a late fee, and her mother called my mother. I don't know what her mother said to mine, all I know was that it was enough for her to go completely ballistic, waking me up a little before 8am by slamming me repeatedly with a belt. I was traumatized for a long time, because that was the first time I had ever done something wrong in my sleep.
I remember questioning God then, wondering why he gave me such cruel and awful parents that didn't respect my opinion or personal space. Everything I loved could always be taken away, and they enjoyed doing that as well as beating the ever loving shit out of me with their belts. I wore jackets in the heat of Florida all the time because of the bruises I'd always have. I didn't want a teacher to see, because one time that happened before and I had to be put in a foster home. My parents got to pick who I stayed with, and of course they chose someone that would make my life hell so I would appreciate them whenever they got me back. It worked, because the beating only got harder and more violent from there...and they used their scared tactics to keep me from ever alerting the authorities again.
Did the system fail me or was I just being a bad kid? I still question that today.
Fast forward to today, my life is a lot better. There is no one threatening to take my things away. But sometimes I'm still terrified of being hit. Especially because my last boyfriend did it and it took me a long time to leave him. All because I am still brainwashed from all the way back then...it's always going to be my fault if someone hits me. I did something wrong. I shouldn't leave because if I behaved, he wouldn't have hit me.
Fuck man. I hope I'm a good mom.
