It&#8217;s been this way since I woke up. The day isn&#8217;t getting better, but I guess it&#8217;s not getting worse either, so there&#8217;s that at least. I don&#8217;t know what my problem is, I can&#8217;t even blame PMS. I&#8217;m just so annoyed at everyone and everything, more than usual.<\/p>\n<p>You live your whole life from the inside looking out. Every now and then, when you least expect it, you get a glimpse of how it looks from the outside in. Sometimes it&#8217;s a word or a feeling, maybe a picture, a memory, a person&#8230;whatever the catalyst, you suddenly find yourself overwhelmed with realizations and understandings that you ignored, forgot or were unaware existed. If you&#8217;re anything like me, you end up questioning your motives and desires, and what was once so sure becomes unstable, flimsy, threatening.<\/p>\n<p>I asked G last night as I&#8217;m climbing into bed what sort of custody arrangement he&#8217;d want if we broke up. What kind of question is that? Why the fuck would I ask him that? It&#8217;s cruel and pointless. I treat him like shit, and he always tries so hard to please me, to make me feel loved, to make me love him. I just toss him aside like an empty wrapper. Why? Why do I do that?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll tell you why. Because I&#8217;m a bitch, a total and complete bitch, acutely selfish, absorbed in my own little fantasy world, entranced by my navel.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a bull in a china shop, only I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m a bull, I think I&#8217;m a tiny little fairy dancing around gracefully, sprinkling magic pixie dust over everything. Even as I stare right in the goddamned mirror and see the bull, this hairy enormous bull snorting mucus and saliva and whatever else it is that bulls snort, and I just ignore it, I still flit about like I&#8217;m tinkerbell, I say <em>there is something wrong with that mirror<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, I don&#8217;t know what my problem is, I told you this already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m in a shit mood.
