About Me
Not much of a talker irl unless I'm around people I've known for a while. Introverted and can easily get lost in my own inner world. I like to draw, paint, and write. I have a passion for dreams, anything paranormal, and am a huge fan of creepypasta. when I'm not working or drawing or sleeping, I'm usually gaming or wandering aimlessly through the woods, maybe taking a stroll and relaxing in a cemetery when weather permits.

Who I'd Like To Meet
Michael J Tatum, David Draimen, Nathan Sharp, Elijah Wood
Against my fears I found my answer, I had a feeling things would turn out this way and I suppose I should have expected it sooner... much sooner. I wont even pretend it doesn't sting, of course it hurts... but this is what I asked for in silence after all... I shouldn't be complaining. At the end of it, I'm just happy we're all still alive.
coming back to it again was a strange experience. Ali needed help with her anxiety so I calmed her down the only way I knew how, by telling her the things I wanted to be told many years ago in the dark. it worked just like it did before with the others. However, this time, through it all, I felt a ghost lingering on my shoulder and my heart grew sore. No matter how many years pass, I guess some things never truly go away...
every time... every time now. I feel like I'm wearing a metal harness around my chest, holding a silver stake poised to pierce my heart, the cruelty of this cursed trap is that the closer I get to the ones I love, the deeper it drives the nail straight through. I thought after all this time, after all the work I've put in to lay the past to rest, that I'd finally be free of this damned cage... but I was wrong. maybe this is just how its meant to be...

Entry 6_
Looking back I can see clearly that nothing has fundamentally changed. I've spent the last seven years running from the ghost in the mirror to no avail. Even now, I sometimes catch myself trying to run away despite knowing I can't escape myself forever... But whenever I turn to face it, I find myself all alone.

Entry 5_
For so long ive become numb to myself; everything inside feels so distant and hollow, barely familiar like a dream half remembered. And yet i can feel something inside trying desperately to claw its way to the surface. Only now do I realize what it is. Every emotion, every memory Ive burried and suppressed to become this hollow shell. No wonder why it feels like Ive just come out of a coma. Ive lived my life on autopilot so long that now its finally catching up to me. As much as I want to feel again, I also know the danger of setting it all loose too quickly... Itll be the FSU incident all over again. No.. I need to take things slow for now. But what scares me most is that its already starting to show. Even my coworkers have noticed a shift in my eyes "it looks like youre holding a lot back". under normal circumstances I could brush this comment off, but he was right. I am holding alot back, But I worry if I let it all go if I will end up pushing everyone away again.
I need time to think on this...

Entry 4_
Another faded potential... after 3 years I finally find someone I feel comfortable around, someone who I share feelings with and who I know shares feelings for me. Just when I think it can go somewhere I find out that we're both going to be separated. she's moving back with her family in MI and I'm moving further back in the ghost town I've come to know. right place wrong time... at this point it doesn't even hurt anymore. I just feel disappointed. yet another lost potential for something that could have been. oh well, sooner or later I'll start searching more locally. in the mean time I will enjoy what remains of our time together while it lasts. no reason to be bitter. besides, there's no way solitude can be eternal... can it?

Entry 3_
Already over a week in quarrantine and still little has changed in my life while I watch the rest of the world outside my window lose their damned minds. Pity... Just when I wanted to make the effort to go out more and explore for the first time; see whats out there. Oh well, another year in solitude won't hurt. I mean, Ive made it this far without slipping under, haven't I? Still... The loneliness is creeping around the other corner and I still do want to reconnect with my family. Its been 3 years... Im not mad at them anymore. Hopefully this blows over without too much of an issue soon.

Entry 2_
*sigh* another relapse. And i was doing so well to stay away from it.
Nothing was working. Grounding techniques, the water bowl trick, cold temperatures and other techniques failed. I couldnt control my rage and i needed to bring myself back down as quick as I could.
Well.. Nothing can be done about it now. Ill just have to start over and try yet again.
... God dammit.

Entry 1_
I feel like I used to know the people around me. I feel like I used to know who I was and where everything was headed. so certain of my future, of the people I would meet, of the places I'd go. now I can barely recall my purpose of yesterday. the past few years have been... strange. life has taken me places I'd never expected to go, and in that time more of me was fragmented. its like looking into a broken mirror; you see the pieces of an image that makes you who you are, but none of those pieces fit together the way they used to. but I haven't been swallowed by despair, not like I used to be. I'm just... lost... confused. with every day that passes I'm searching, maybe for some remnants of my former self, maybe for something new to shape me into something else, or maybe for some other unnamable thing that will provide me answers to questions I've yet to ask. In this new life of solitude, what else can I do but search? maybe someday I'll find what I'm looking for, or maybe someday I'll decide its not important and leave it behind. until that day comes the search continues.
