change & hopelessness

A bit of a rant...

Would you change yourself if you could? Just completely change everything if you got the opportunity. Your name, your looks, your personality, your nationality. Would you change it all if you could?
I would. In a heartbeat. I've done some thinking lately and I've come to realize that my problems aren't with the world or other people. They're with me. And it's a bit tough to solve your problem when it's yourself. It's been plaguing me for a while, this sense of self-hate. I literally hate everything about myself. All of it. I don't know if any of you feel this way too, but I can't even describe how it feels to look in the mirror everyday and just feel utter contempt and hate for the person you see staring back at you. Because no matter what I do, she'll always be there. It's hard. It really is.

And what makes me feel even more terrible is that I know that there are others out there who feel so much worse and are going through much tougher things and that makes me feel incredibly guilty. My problems cannot even compare to theirs and yet I can't find the strength to overcome my own. I guess it's because I have so much hate for myself that I don't even feel the need to save me. I'm worthless. So that's why I just wish I could pack up and leave. Leave the country, or even the planet, just leave and go somewhere where I can just start fresh and be the me that I wanted to be without any complications. I plan on going far away when I'm older, as soon as I can. I don't know what I plan on doing. I don't know where to go. I don't know how to get there. And the worst part is, wherever I go I will always be with myself (if that even makes an sense) but at least I'll be able to leave my past failures behind. Small fragments of the failed me. I might even change my name. Get rid of everything to do with me, estrange myself as much as I can, just trying to escape. It's pathetic, I know...but I just don't know what else to do.

If you read through all of this...thank you so much. You don't even know how much it means. I doubt anyone will, but whatever. This post will most likely be deleted soon. I'm a bit hysterical right now. Goodbye, I don't know how much I'll be on Opuss from now on. I might not really be on at all, or I might use it a lot to get these feelings out. We'll see.

Sorry for wasting your time.

I don't have much to tell you. I'm Nat, I'm 15, and I'm ridiculously boring

Nothing

Today I think I can say has been a crappy day. I just feel as if I don't belong. I just feel like there is nothing to do and there will be nothing to do. Nothing is fine.

Sometimes I feel like it would be better to not exist, or that the world would be better without me, but it's a fleeting thought.

Where Am I?

Where is that cheerful guy I used to know. I look in the mirror and it's like I don't even recognize myself. I look so down and tired, I don't see that guy that was so happy so long ago.

I Am My Own Worst Enemy.

When I look in the mirror, I hate what I see. Disappointment staring back at me. Let down myself, my family and my savior. I am everything I hate, everything I fear.

You're not wasting my time. Sometimes it's good to go away awhile. Re-invent yourself. I'll miss wonderful you and your beautiful writings for sure! <3<3<3

@TaintedTulip thanks so much for reading. I don't think I'm going to leave but I might be on less frequently. Thanks again, just for the support <3

@natalee you are amazing and beautiful and absolutely wonderful!!! I went through a time like what you're going through and just remember "when nothing goes right, go left.@

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm sorry you really feel that way. I'm no expert but in my opinion I think that the problem does lie with the world and others: nowadays we are bombarded with messages that make us feel like this, even if we don't consciously see it, it's there. I wouldn't change a thing about me because I just don't care what others think (anymore). Don't let the world get you down, you can go anywhere you like, I travel the world and the universe, fantasy lands etc through escapism. Escapism like writing, meditation and energy healing. Try to meditate, it helps. You'll be fine. BE YOU and don't worry about a thing. I hope this helps but I know ppl in that situation and they don't take a blind bit of notice of me. I've been there, now I'm all out of it πŸ˜„

P.s. I see nothing wrong with you in your profile pic at all! I could tell you many things I like about you just from that pic!

Nonsense! You aren't wasting my time! It's normal to want to change things about yourself I do too but you are not a failure when you write such brilliance! Please forgive yourself and your mind. You can never change fully no matter of the surgery and name changing you take to do it. You will always me you and you will regret it knowing it never did change a thing about you just highlighted you so called 'failures' you are not a failure remember that!

@ClaireTilley @TaintedTulip @mirabahjojabo @lonelynutmeg98 thank you guys so much! I guess I was feeling a little hysterical and just felt like nothing would ever be right. I've kind of come to realize my mistakes and now I don't feel as bad thanks to you guys. I guess the only person I can be is me :) <3

@natalee <3 <3 <3

Aw, everyone's already said all the good stuff! Lol. Seriously, I agree with everyone else who has commented and I'm so happy that you're feeling better. If you're ever feeling like that again, just remember that nobody should try to change you. You are you and you should be proud.

@meggie2012 thank you, it means a lot :)

@natalee glad your feeling better :)
