five days away

Posted by reneemudd (Denver, United States) on 19 December 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture.

The weight of the day grew heavier and heavier with each passing minute. I made several attempts to distract myself - cleaning, music, television, even food - unfortunately by 8 o'clock I couldn't take it any more. Emotionally distraught, I wandered aimlessly downtown for a few hours in an attempt to clear my head and regain stability. Amidst the hand-in-hand couples and Starbucks consuming families, I made my way around the city, capturing the above image along the way. The holidays typically conjure images such as these, followed by that "warm and fuzzy" feeling inside. Tonight was no such case. I returned home with tired legs, a sore back and still a jumbled head.

I express such telling words here only because my outlets are limited. Family, too involved and my peers have a hard time comprehending my life and it's tribulations thus far, and over the years I've come to realize...they probably never will, and that's okay. Nonetheless, I confide in the nothingness of this site, get it out of my system and send it on its way. Sounds like bad therapy to me...
