For When You're Feeling "Done"

Just Some Angst

For When You're Feeling "Done"
Pinterst

Welcome to the land of disgust.

Filth.

Dirt.

Where everything is real.

All the pain and the hurt.

Real.

Nothing you ever do will be right.

Nothing you ever do will be good enough.

It is where you type your paper and it is deleted.

All your work down the drain.

Where you rush to your car because you're running late to work,

And you're out of gas

Where you're too emotional to have only been on this Earth for twenty years.

Where they don't love you back.

Where they don't love you anymore.

Where you can't sleep but 100 percent of you is expected the next morning.

Where you pour your heart and soul into someone and get a sliver of what you gave them.

Where you have to give away your dog.

Put your cat to sleep and lose your home.

Where you fail a class.

Where you stop going to class.

This is where you'll stop receiving texts, calls, emails-

A dead zone.

Where there will be no reception; Not for you, not for me, not for my passions.

Where you will constantly grieve and morn your losses as you watch the rest of them celebrate.

As you're watching the sky turn from black to orange then pink then blue

And the leaves go from green to brown and back again.

As the sounds change from wind chimes to Christmas carols

As the earth rotates round

You're watching from your eyes as they glance upon you

Just passing you quick enough to see that smile

But never long enough to watch gravity settle in.

You walk past but not fast

Trying to work out the point of it all

A wasteland

Is what it's referred to

But just for you

Because that's what it is like living inside your head.

They say "get out while you can".

I say stay, let people in.

It's a wasteland you see

The storm will come

Wash it away

You'll start anew.

Clean, polished by the rain.

Now whether you end up back here or not,

Well that's your choice my friend.


-- Choose light my friends, even when 'the going gets tough"

Choose to see tomorrow through fresh, clean, polished eyes.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
