I will never be a writer.
Never. I can’t get other fucking
people away from me long enough to write anything meaningful. I try to cajole them simply to get the hell
out of my space. GET THE FUCK AWAY! But they won’t. They won’t leave me alone. I cannot be alone inside of my own home or
inside of my own head. They fucking
pester and talk and whine and INTERRUPT until I am so fucking annoyed and
irritated and off-track that I have no hope of ever writing anything coherent
or decisive or original or devoted or creative.
All I want is for them to fuck off and leave me to my own senses. LEAVE ME ALONE. Let me hide in my bunker and write. Let me tap into the part of my soul that
needs expression. Let me write something
meaningful.
They don’t know how to go away. They don’t understand how important it is for
me to be alone in my own head. They don’t
care. They want. They.
Want. Everybody just wants shit
from other people. They don’t stop to
consider the emotional (and physical) toll it takes on the people from whom
they want. I suppose I shouldn’t have made
my specific life choices if I didn’t subconsciously want people to need me, but
… come on. There is a time and a place
for codependency, and every, single day is not it.
I want to be able to enjoy a cocktail and a cigarette,
alone. Without looks and commentary and judgment about how this stupid fucking
cigarette is going to kill me. You know
what’s going to kill me? The fact that
people won’t get the fuck out of my space and let me be who I am. I shouldn’t have to feel guilty for being who
I am, and yet society has done a great job of ruining fun for the sake of
fun. Or maybe it’s just the way my brain
is wired: I forgot how to just be myself
during the process of “growing up” and “becoming responsible”. (Both of which are overrated, by the way.)
I would just like to bathe in my own thoughts without
interruption, and then periodically write those thoughts down in an
uninterrupted stream of words which might eventually amount to something. People
used to have the ability to entertain themselves; I think it’s a lost and
forgotten art.
