Learning curve

the ghost's picture

I had a strange realisation the other day that the majority of the people on here are closer in age to my nephew than to me. Which made me feel a little odd posting journals and things on here, but as lol-taire said in a journal a while back, this place is her diary, and I must say the same is true for me. It's where I come to get everything out.

To be honest lately I feel like there is a lot I need to get out. I am not very happy with myself or my behaviour, but for some reason I also feel that it is necessary, like I am on some sort of learning curve and I need to go through all this stuff in order to get to somewhere happy at the end of it. I am not sure if that is misguided though, because all this learning is just rather painful.

God I don't even know where to start trying to explain where I am right now. My life somehow seems to have come around to me going out drinking at gay bars and clubs about three times a week, getting absolutly plastered and scoring some random girl. All the while harbouring a massive crush on a girl that has no interest in me, and I have to say all this just leaves me feeling so empty and hollow.

Up until last night it was only myself I was hurting with my behaviour really, but there is a girl that I have a met a few times through friends, and she was out last night. She likes me a lot apparently. I ended up kissing her for the night and I honestly feel like a complete turd, areshole, cunt for it. It's not nice to take advantage of someone. But thats what I did, I took advantage of the fact that she liked me for my own selfish reasons as opposed to having genuine feelings for her.

I just don't really know who I am anymore. I fucked up college this year and am spending my summer repeating, and I was too hungover to go pay my repeat fees on time so now I have an extra charge ontop of that too. I really just don't know how to describe myself or what I have become anymore.

I feel guilty, ashamed and disgusted with myself. Yet for some reason I still wouldn't go back to being the me of last year who was almost completely in the closet with no gay friends or gay life.

Honestly all I would really want is a nice girlfriend who I like and likes me back, maybe one fun night out a week and some normailty back to my life because right now things are insane and I have a horrible feeling I am on some sort of collision course for a nasty wake up call.

This all sounded quite rant like and I stillhaven't expressed what I was trying to.

I am a mess.

I realised that some of the

I realised that some of the kids on here are the same age as my youngest sister- WHO IS A CHILD. But then I realised she's starting Year 8 soon and that by the time I was her age I knew I fancied girls. Too weird.

Halt the self loathing- that trope's been done to death. You'll get your degree.

Here's to finding someone nice, someone simple, someone who likes you. If you do find one, tell me where. God knows. And down with the unrequited! (I know too)

At least you go to gaybars; I go to rallies.

There's something to be said for positive change but not complete satisfaction. Though you aren't where you want to be right now, you're getting there. It's hard traveling the confusing, meandering path toward a (better/different) sense of self, but somehow I think things will sort themselves out.

And I echo Lol-taire's final comment. Good luck and hope finding someone lovely.
