Shit ain't going so great.
First off, I might be losing my job at ChaCha. I have no idea why, I'm guessing they just finally realized I'm sharing a debit card with my girlfriend (who also works there) and they're just trying to make sure I'm not one person with two accounts.
Second, I've been sober for days. It's been like four days I think..? I also haven't been getting enough sleep, so without tripping to keep me in a good mood, I've been fuckin gruuuuumpy and snappy... I don't care though I'm not tripping. I'm glad I've made it this far... I've got too many fuggin problems right now to just dex it all away >_< Which brings me to my next point...
I don't know if I should even be talking about this shit online. But no one reads this shit anyways.
Things haven't been 'wonderful' with me and the lady. Lots of fighting, followed by both of us being nice, until one of us blows up on something (usually her) and it goes right back to the fighting. I just don't know if this is what I want. I don't know if this is love, I don't. There's so much fuckin stress on us right now. I can't STAND living with her dad, that's my main issue. He's violent, he's unpredictable, he says I can talk to him about everything but the moment Becca complains about me or gets upset (happens a lot) then there's this sense of dread that overtakes me because in the end, that guy is totally unstable/unpredictable. He yells at Becca like a child, it's like he's a fuckin child, incapable of keeping his cool. It freaks me out, it's like at any moment Becca can pull one of her 'i want you to go back to Arizona, this isn't gonna work' acts, and then BAM Daddio is on my ass, getting in our fucking business. He says it's because me and her fighting is too disruptive to him and his wife, and becca's sisters. I can understand that. It's just, what the FUCK do you think I can do about it?! It's not like I have an apartment in fucking Indiana I can just go back to. Even in Flagstaff, I have nothing. No job, no money, no place to go.
My life is completely fucking nuts right now. We all think that about ourselves, I know. But tell me this, do most people NOT have a place to call home? Do they NOT have people that love them or at least care about them around them? I have no one here. If shit goes bad with Becca, you know what I do? I hide. I go under the bed with a blanket, or hide behind pillows behind the couch and cry, because there isn't SHIT i can do out here, I'm totally powerless. All I can do is run back 'home' to Flagstaff.
What's home? Some friends who never hang out with me?
I don't know what to do, but I don't feel like it's 'right' out here. I don't feel good out here, I don't like the direction my life is going anymore. I hate being in a relationship, this is the most bullshit i've ever had to deal with... and what are the plusses? Steady sex is great but sex has never been a priority to me. I've been single my whole life, the only sex partners I need are built into my body lol. I just wanna be happy, but even more important is I wanna be
content. I wanna know that at the end of the day, I'm doing what I
want and that I'm trying my hardest.
It's like, what the fuck could I do to make my situation better out here? God dammit, I've been applying for colleges everywhere... me and Becca were supposed to be going to Flagstaff to go to NAU in the summer but her FUCKING dad talked her out of it. 'I don't think you're ready to be that far from home', etc etc. Maybe he's right. But give her a fucking chance man. Give US a fucking chance. If she can't handle being away from home, what the fuck kind of relationship are we gonna have? I can't live here with her parents and family, not for much longer.
That's why I'm really, really considering going back to Flagstaff with my tax return money. It's so fucked up, it's so much bullshit, but there's nothing else I can do. Even if I got a job out here, what's the point? We can't get a place on one person's income. And I'm not working two jobs, I'd rather be single than that shit. That's no fucking life. Nothing is worth slaving away like that. I'd have to be high on dxm CONSTANTLY to even find an ounce of
worth in a life like that. I'd be miserable constantly. It wouldn't last long. And even then it's like, what so we have a place to live in away from your parents.
What now? What are we working towards?
She just told me less than a few hours ago that she isn't gonna be going to school. That's what blows my mind. It's like, what the hell do you think we're gonna do with our lives if we're not going to school babe? I've been in the 'real world' outside of mommy and daddy's, and I know how much of a fuckin dead end it all is. You can work at a place for years, get tons of pay raises, and promotions, and you still won't be making a quarter of what you could make at an
entry level position with a bachelor's degree in
anything.
Not in this country.
I don't know what to do, I have nothing here, nothing in Flagstaff (admittedly I do have some really good friends, like family, actually more than that lol), but you know what? If our relationship is just gonna be these intermittent periods of violence followed by a brief calm before the next storm, then I ain't afraid to do what's best for me. Indiana is cold as fuck. Flagstaff is also cold as fuck, but the difference is I know that town and I HAVE A CAR OUT THERE. If I have to sleep in my car, I got my thermal sleeping bag and blankets, I got places I know I can park, I mean I know that town better than any other place I've ever been. I can make it without having a job out there until I can go to college.
I need to get into college, it scares the shit outta me not knowing what direction my life is going. I'm going to school this year whether Becca goes with me. Right now my priorities are to get a handle on my future. I've gotta do something, anything to make my life better than the 'barely living' 'just getting by' shit it is right now.
Well my gal's waking up and I got a lot to talk to her bout.
