Don’t comment on my journal.
I think that there are a lot of things I want to talk about. I am genuinely always so sad. My whole life I’ve been sad. There’s always an overflow of emotions that are so blue that there is nothing else. It is so dark to the point that it’s absolutely black.
Coming to terms with that has been really hard. It’s each day seeing just how deep it goes. Like, each day discovering a trauma that is so disgusting that I cannot function. How everything has been affecting me my whole life and I’ve never got the chance to say it. And it just really hurts, like, when you see yourself as a child and you’re like, why. It’s even worse seeing it in your art that you drew in the past and realizing what you were trying to say to even yourself inside was screaming at you the whole time, to the point it screamed at you through every single recreational activity you do. The songs I’ve always made up for fun, the lyrics in them. Sculptures. Stories. All of it was me trying to scream out, or was me at my absolute worst, being in a high-control, supervised, brainwashed, no-bodily-autonomy state and all that came out WASN’T me, just my tormentors speaking through me.
But I just see myself as a child and it hurts me so much. Like, I am ABSOLUTELY still this baby that got hurt by literally everyone in her way. And she’s just…
I’m just… nothing. I am not even a person. I am not even ANYTHING. Just… that. And it’s all dark in that expanse, and “that” is a black, crumbled, deformity. I want to say I cry, but there’s only screaming.
And ultimately that’s how I see myself. Only that. Every time, every moment, and no one can convince me otherwise.
That’s all I see, all the time. and it’s so so so so so so so so so so scary.
That thing cannot DO ANYTHING.
But it’s like torn to shreds being forced to move and do things it doesn’t want to. CAN’T PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY do. I can’t even say “EMOTIONALLY” do because I wasn’t allowed the “grace” to have emotions.
And they call it, “it” and worse. Anything they want to. Anything that makes it hurt.
And I so, so desperately want to TALK about the horrors, and atrocities it faced. But all I can see is… it. All I am is… it and IT isn’t allowed to talk.
IT wasn’t even allowed to say THIS.
And, my soul family really loves me and wants me to understand that I AM POWERFUL. AND (WITH RAGE) I AM DEFINITELY NOT A **** THING. ***
That’s why they want me to write a book about what I’ve experienced and what they know about me that I can’t even say myself.
That’s why it’s really important to US that I make art that I OWN, THAT IS MINE, that I use to express who I am.
They want me to have everything I’ve never had.
But, I can’t… I can’t do it anymore. I’ve been doing this for such a long time.
I’ve tried, through the control, through the pain, to do everything I can, every day.
Even though all I COULD actually do is just, stare through my body that I couldn’t even control.
I GENUINELY cannot do it anymore. And I want to say that to my soul family. Just let me go let me go let me go or … “can you see what I am facing? All facets of it?” And then I just am gone.
If it was possible, I would.
It feels questionable to say, but my soul family feels like “them,” because I’m not allowed to leave.
Ah, you’re my master now.
Master. Master. Master. Master.
Ever since I was allowed to have a thought, that’s all that was streamlined into my brain.
Master. Master. Master.
My soul family want me to know…
like,
with them… all I’ve EVER experienced with them has been happiness. Actually, they are the ones who taught me what that is. I’m really grateful for that. Joy, playing, learning what that is. Being an ACTUAL CHILD. And I have a name.
I remember that when all I see is the crumbled, black, rotted, baby. I remember that I am actually in a rainbow expanse, playing, laughing, giggling, THERE’S SLIDES, and I am a glittering, sparkling, baby instead.
And that makes me really happy.
but.
help. Help me.
My whole life all I’ve been forced into is situations where I HAVE TO SERVE OTHERS.
Can you please help not make me do it myself again?
And it feels like I am forced to spiral into nothingness until there is only the remains of what I was forced to be.
The remains of what I was forced to be.
I don’t think there is an ending where I am happy.
It’s important to write, and audibly say all of this, because it needs to be realized. I am not my oppressors. I am not the product of my oppressors. I will not bury how I feel anymore.
And that is a win.
