i was weak and hurt for a while. but i think i'm halfway crawled out of the hole. there are many more things i want to do and i decided not to quit now, where i have the chance to be the strongest i've ever been before.
so i signed up for weightlifting, pilates and kickboxing. i take regular trips to the library and read books. i take long baths. i light candles in my room and sit and think. i write poems in my head. i learned how to play pool sober (imagine that!). i found myself a new place to live. i go to see a therapist regularly - and lie to her only occasionally. i'm really getting better at being honest with myself and others. i stand up for myself where necessary, but overall i think i've mellowed. i go tanning and as the uv-rays penetrate my fragile skin -- i enjoy it -- and i refuse to think of cancer or aids or any of the horrible deadly things that could can or already did happen to me. i'm gonna grow my hair out again. i love myself and my body and the life i live. much more than ever before. i make a conscious effort of being by myself sometimes. i pray. i've been sober for quite sometime. there has been only one night of weakness, where i decided to get drunk off my ass amid the 11 weeks of complete sobriety.
although there's men in my life... i'm not satisfied yet. i want to find love again. it's been a while. a few years i think. or maybe i've never really been in love, but had close proximities to love. i just wouldn't mind a touch -- after a long day of work when my shoulders ache and mind is sore -- i wouldn't mind a hug and a kiss and a tuck-in. or maybe i just miss home. i'm not sure.
So I saw Avatar. IT WAS AMAZING. It is definitely something that everyone should see; it is one of the best movie's I've ever seen, and I've seen a lottt of movies . It deserves all the hype (unlike Twilight, which prevailed only because of the "hot" actors, and the stupid little 12-year-olds who went to see it 20 times in theathers). But yah...I LOVED it...it was like being in another world. GO SEE IT.
For the next season of America's Next Top Model (premiering on September 14), they are bringing back 14 contestants from different seasons and putting them into an ~all star~ season to give them another chance to win.
The only reason why I'm excited about this is because Kathy Griffin will be a guest judge :3
