The Cleansing

I'm Lost.
I have no clue what I am doing or where to go. I pretty much kept myself out of contact with people. 
I was Listening to Nine Inch Nails, and their album "Downward Spiral" at this moment. It's a great album if you haven't listen to it yet. The album is chronologically stating a mans Downward Spiral into Madness and Depression. Maybe you aren't a fan of NIN like I am, but so far, at this moment I can relate to Trent Reznor, the man behind the band. Last year I came to rely on him as an Icon for the sadness people express, and turning it into beautiful music. I love HURT. Not the emotion, but the song in the album. Trent wrote that song in a difficult stage in his life, and by chance, that song always pops up in a difficult time in my life. I could blabber more about Hurt, Trent, and NIN. However, I just want to get to the point. 
I am in a difficult time in my life right now where I am Lost. I lose focus of reality and go in to my paradise. I call my alter life a paradise simply for Ironic reasons; The Ironness for a girl with an audience of zero.  It took me awhile to realize I never did recover from my mental breakdown 3 and a half years ago. I guess I was just in cruise control from there on. 
I woke up one day to realize my whole life was ascending into a downward spiral. little by little, my whole life has been falling apart like a game of Jinga. Just pieces of me coming out until I collapse.
"How could I have let this happen to me again?" I asked myself. It took time for me to realize that I am in a rut. I find myself starting things, but never finishing them. I feel so unmotivated. I made a bracelet out of paper the other day and hated it. Looking at it I felt not proud, but the opposite. I felt shame for mastering such a worthless craft. I never made a paper bracelet again.
Is my life the way it is because I am lazy? If so, I will find it very hard to respect myself. 
So now what?
I will start with the obvious. Organizing my life. To start, I will clean up my surroundings and propably that will motivate me to clean up my life. To start. I will clean my room.

I found a box in the garage with all me old stuff. I was supposed to take out one thing, but ended up taking all of it out, and leaving it out.

I can't believe that all these clothes are new and never worn.

Well, here is the shelf that I have up, and I curse my mother for nailing it there. Reason is that I know it will keep me from getting more stuff and having it in a soulless place to put it.

This closet is also cluttered, and those clothes on the floor are also new and unworn.

I will start by organizing that, See if it motivates me to organizing something. Such as my life.

I will post a blog later on tonight or tomorrow to show you that I am taking steps to fixing my broken life. Soul searching here I come.

  1. Organizing your room is a good start..it is not only a metaphor for your life but a literal translation. You are young, intelligent and full of life and passion. Everyone falls into the water sometimes. Keep swimming with your head above the water and the current will bring you to your goal. Although they make take different routes, all rivers lead to the ocean =)
