I'm whining because I'm tired of waiting for my life to get better in the future, and I want things to happen right now. Right now, at this very moment. Not in a month, not in five months, not in a year, not in five years. Now.
I'm tired of feeling lonely and unwanted, being pushed aside, and not being sure of where I actually belong, in the grand scheme of things. It needs to stop. I'm usually pretty good at dealing with such issues and keeping it to myself, but this isn't good for me. I know I haven't quite been myself at times; if you look at some of the things that I've been posting lately, this couldn't be more obvious.
This isn't something that just dawned on me. It's something that I've been keeping to myself ever since I graduated high school. Even though I didn't care for high school too much, I was really close to a few of my teachers, and I had a few classmates I could get along with. I just don't have that anymore, and it's affecting every aspect of my life in ways that I never would even have guessed.
Back then, I actually had motivation to learn, besides "this is what I need to do." I had some small sense of belonging, and some sense of happiness. I was satisfied. Although I often was alone, I never once felt like I was alone. I knew my place.
But that has changed.
Everyone has moved on, and I haven't. I'm still living in the past, and I'm not satisfied anymore. I have this persistent feeling that no one really knows who I am anymore--like I exist, but I don't
really exist. I don't actually mean a damn thing to anyone, except my parents. It varies and fluctuates with time, but it's been with me for the past year and a half.
I'm tired of spending every hour of every day waiting for the next day to come, knowing that times will change and it'll be different in the future. In reality, it's preventing me from enjoying myself right now, and as such, all I'm doing is wishing my life away. Even though I'm being optimistic by hoping that I'll actually get what I want in the future, I know I'm actually hurting myself by thinking like this.
I need to stop. I know I should be able to appreciate what I have, but it's not that easy. What I have right now is not what I want right now, nor is it even possible for those two to coincide.
