My Mind Controls Me

Today I needed to talk and the only person available was Stephen, who seems to be getting distant more and more these days but I'm not going to push him.  Anyway, I was telling him about the things that plague my mind and he told me that he notices how my mind controls me instead of me controlling my mind.  And that makes a lot of sense.  I have been being controlled by my emotions because my logic has been fucked up.  People have been getting inside of my mind, confusing me, making me lose focus.  Today I realized that it is definitely up to me to change things.  That means my life in its entirety.  I'm going to start by securing this job and getting serious about my health because that's all that keeps me here at the end of the day.  He was right, without taking care of my health eventually there will be no me.  Now I am right to feel overwhelmed because going through all these motions alone is scary and stressful for the most part.  But making the journey alone is what should be special about it.  To be able to say "I did it.  I'm here." and not owe anyone a thing for it.  I can't remember when I stopped striving hard to accomplish the things that I know I deserve, the things I know are destined for me.  But that's not important.  What I need to be trying to remember is the knowledge that I have in this moment.  I know what I need to do and how I need to do it.  So now the time to execute has come.  I have to start believing in myself.  I have to get to know Jesus and get closer to God to be the woman that I know I can be.  And now I have Jaxson and he needs me.  I chose to go and get him so I can't sit back and fail, he's counting on me.  And I want to be the best mom that I can be.  I talked to TahGee today, that has me lowkey in my feelings but I'm not exactly sure what I want to do about it just yet.  Later.

Do You Think I'm Ugly?

I've never met a man bold enough to ask me that.  Most will just say it casually, "I'm ugly af but I'll treat you right" or some other stupid shit.  Why?  Because they want you to say "You're not ugly bae".  Bullshit ass validation that they probably seek from every person they come into contact with.  And I'm making it a general "they" instead of saying "he" because women do the same shit.  I think most times that woman complain about men is because they are upset that men are capable of going through some of the same frustrating experiences as them, and it's definitely vice versa.  People are very fucked up.  For some reason I keep finding myself struggling to figure out if I'm a fucked up person or not.  It's something that I think about a lot...  but back on track.  Today, well yesterday (it's 1:30 in the morning right now), I had barely even said hello to N's cousin before convincing myself that he was...

06/22 Friday

Today I went got tested for STDs again and got back on the depo shot.  I feel like it's been long overdue and honestly the whole family aspect of life isn't what's important to me right now.  What matters most is that I can get it together so I can become the lawyer and the overall woman that I aspire to be.  I'm in college, that means eventually I want to have a career.  I cannot be a successful woman if I do not start now.  That might be where all of my issues are coming from.  To begin, I think that I'm going to have to get consistent with my life and stay that way.  I used to feel like the planned life was not enough for me.  But living on a whim hasn't exactly made me the person that I want to be.  Being who I am, which I believe is the person that I'm trying to get to, is going to be the most rewarding part of life.  I'm looking forward to becoming Ms. Trenisha Stewart.  She seems like a very bright young lady with a nice futu...

Breakthrough or Nah?

I think that I may have just had a breakthrough and it's scary good... like... what if I haven't progressed.. okay not even what if.  I haven't moved forward in life because I've been living it the same way this entire time.  I've been too afraid to come out, too afraid to live life the right way.  Scared of what people think I look like, sound like, talk/walk/breathe like.  Paranoid about every single thing.  And why?  Because of a few failures?  A few bad experiences?  Who the fuck even does this shit?  There are so many people that I think are on the same level of life as me but they're not.  They're out there, confident, living in the real world.  I'm not sure why I can't do the same thing.  I think that I'm pretty amazing on the inside.  But you know what?  No one knows that.  No one wants to be a part of who I am.. and that may just be because I don't want to be who I am.  I need to figure out the solu...
