I drink way too much.

I don't know why, I don't even like alcohol but I always get wasted no matter what. And it's weird because nothing seems to trouble me when I'm drunk and leaning against a wall to not fall down.
And I end up making out with random people, which is stupid.

I feel so uncomfortable in my skin.
As if I could never reach anything.
As if I'm doomed to hate myself, to hate every inch of myself.
Oh how I hate this person I see in the mirror.
How I should die.
How. I should just die.

I wish I could like what I have, what it's good.
I'm kind of smart, no, I am quite intelligent. I'm interesting, ain't I?
I hate myself.
My body.
My soul.
Myself.

First, I start this entry by saying: What the hell is this subject?

Anyway, this is going to be one of those entries that you wish you hadn't read because it contains only and exclusively stuff about MOISELF, particularly rantings and uninteresting stuff.
So, seriously, for the sake of your time, skip this entry or, if you are really, really bored, enjoy my lack of fluency on writing.

Being said, I shall start.


I'm annoyed.
Completely annoyed by circumstances that really can't be fixed.

First, I'm annoyed by the fact that I keep on getting fever and it seems like the medicine doesn't really work. Also, the fact that I LOST, literally, my voice isn't helping.

Second, I don't think it's normal that I prefer to starve then to face my father by going into the kitchen... But it's all the same, whenever we cross there is this annoying moment that keeps on repeating. It goes like this:
"[GENERIC COMPLAINT ABOUT SOMETHING]"
"Ok..."
"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
"...I said ok, didn't I?"
"RAMBLERAMBLERAMBLE" - at this point, I stop listening and I look at him and wonder what happened to the person that once... nevermind, I've never admired him... maybe respected? Oh well. I don't know. I've already said this but, oh damn, what is left of him is an over exaggerated part of something he once was. It's a shame when someone ends his life like this, decaying.

Third thing that annoys me: The fact that my father, yet again, thinks that I am a little prostitute that is screwing every guy I hang out with.
Dude. What. the. fuck.
Just because YOU weren't capable of having a conversation with a girl/woman (lol I'm a woman now? XD) without thinking of SEX, doesn't mean others can't.
I wonder if he is worried about me screwing my female friends. Huuuh.

Fourth thing, and last for today, that annoys me: The fact that I look in the mirror and hate, absolutely hate what I see, in matter of weight related stuff.
DAHGEAHJEATJEAIR OAEKIEATOEA
Being sick is killing me because I can't exercise and because I have to eat more.
EAOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
I sound Eating Disordered right now. Just to make it clear, I am not.

This is so fucking ridiculous.
I can't believe that I've wasted 3 years of my life and I'm about to waste more.

I'm so tired of trying and feeling like a complete piece of crap.
So tired... So tired.

I feel so sad looking back at my entries and at my progression towards this dark and shitty hole.
I have this journal for 2 years now... and not a single bit of myself changed.
I'm still that crazy girl that looks in the mirror and sees someone that isn't her.
I see a ball of grease looking back half smiling half sad saying lol you're fat. :)
I think I'm going nuts.

it makes me so sad that I am wasting my energy into dieting, exercising, losing weight and hating myself when there's so much more I can do..
I actually have a chance of being something but I waste it all with my obsession.

Sad but true.

I wish I could love myself more.
I've been diagnosed with anemia and for the 1st time I felt like there was something really wrong without me.
My doctor said I probably wasn't eating well.
I denied it.

It felt weird.
I want to be healthy, but at the same time I want people to know that I have an eating disorder.
I want them to look at me and say that I have one...

I never had the guts to tell anyone because I just don't look like it.
Ew.
How can a fat chick be anorectic? :(

I hate myself so much for caring.

Sometimes I wish I could just drop dead because there isn't a place for me. Just... There isn't a place for me in this world. I'm far too weird, too picky, too sick to be here.
I am a bad influence to all around me.
I don't respect anyone.
I waste the earth's resources to keep myself alive, when I am not worth the food that I eat, nor the air that I consume.
Will I ever contribute anything to the world? Or will I just make everyone worried sick about me and just give up and die?

My impact on this world is a bunch of mistakes and people crying over my dead body. People wasting their minds thinking about the girl that died.

Why do we waste time thinking about that anyway?
Why?
I hate this. It's late and I can't sleep.
I'm hungry but I can't eat. I'm not WORTH it.

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I hate my body.
I wish I wasn't here.
I wish someone was here to tell me that you're not as bad as you think you are. I know I am not, yet, I really, really, really hate everything about me.
URGH.
EMO KID.
