I spiral into a circle of mommy guilt guilt over being the selfish and self absorbed during your formative years guilt over giving my attention to futile and idiotic love stories when I should have been focusing on you guilt that maybe if I had been more patient, more nurturing, you wouldnβt be filled with so much uncertainty about your future
from my favorite movie “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”
Wish I could say Iβm a chill and cool kind of girl when it comes to love but Iβm not because once Iβm into you and I let you in it will be hard to get rid of me because I am a nurturer and Iβll love you with my whole heart and Iβll make you the center of my world and find ways for us to get closer wait, wait, wait this version of me no longer exist she went up in flames a few years back Nowadays, the slightest sirens go off in me and I want to run away and block him Cease and desist any evidence of him, the slightest offence and it takes everything out of me to remember my skills learned in therapy Tell him, I need a bit of time to process and weβll talk in the morning I know that after a good nightβs sleep, Iβll look at things differently and wonβt fuck up my new love story because of a single simple misunderstanding
whoever is worthy and good for me will have to be more than worthy, more than good enough for my boys above everything else theyβll have to understand and respect the relationship I have with my sons
Iβm the girl who screamed wolf in love in my poems one too many times always acting like Iβm the victim always acting like Iβm the hurt party always acting like Iβm fucked over in love when the truth is I too have broken hearts I too am shit at relationships I too dispose of men once they fall off from my pedestal and so perhaps, I need to stop screaming wolf and accept that every once in a while I am the wolf whoβs capable of destroying and disposing of people as well
I need to exorcize you and you out of me before I step into a new chapter of love Itβs not fair to him to allow past chapters to haunt me and make me question my sanity and maybe thatβs ghosting you and sharing our story of toxic love in spanish and while my methods may be a tad questionable itβs the best I can do for now and for me, itβs enough
there are days I donβt feel strong enough to be their mom maybe itβs insecurity that weighs heavily on me after every fight, after every conflict it was easier when they were small and I was their favorite person the one they ran to the moment I opened the door nowadays I work much and they have their own interests to have much to do with me nowadays they bring up grievances of everything Iβve done and am doing wrong is this karma for being a bad daughter to my mom is this karma for being selfish and self absorbed for a few years of their lives Who knows- maybe itβs not about being strong, being right, or being respected maybe itβs about them knowing they are loved
you creep into my dreams once again and I hate my brain for it/canβt it understand thereβs nothing left to say/thereβs no need for closure/this distance is better for both of us/besides thereβs no coming back from this
miss the days when I was your favorite person, when you greeted me with excitement when we played candyland for your hours Nowadays. Iβm lucky to get a βhiβ from you, nowadays, I hear more from you through cashapp than IRL nowadays when I ask you about your day, you murmur a one word response and overnight you went from my sweet cherub to a tall and lanky stranger I donβt recognize and while I still hear you play with your legos I know those days are coming to an end soon While growing up is inevitable to the passage of time itβs still heartbreaking and painful because youβre the last one of my trinity making the transition from boy to man
canβt seem to get away from my demons no matter how fast i run, no matter how healed I claim to be they always haunt me in my dreams, or when Iβm at my most vulnerable and happy thinking life might finally be going right for me But out of the blue, my new boyfriend annoys me, unexpected bills show up, my stalker is back and creeping on my blog, and I fight with my teenage son I wonder what did I do to piss off the universe this time
my son is bright green as he explores the world as he learns to communicate his needs as he learns to navigate life and comes across joy and heartbreak and comes to me with questions when something doesnβt work out
my joe goldberg is back and a sense of doom overwhelms me especially because I know how psychol this Joe is from thinking heβs in love with me because of my blog to remember the constant barrage of harassment I endured from him for a few years, I got a major case of the icks and while I should be extra happy my blog is getting ten time the views it normally gets it creeps me out entirely knowing itβs him knowing that somehow my blog and my pics on there are fodder for his spank back and his many delusions
Itβs fading fast, the time where you willingly spend time with me Soon youβll prefer your friends to me Soon youβll lock yourself in your room and only come out for food Your voice is changing and youβre already taller than me and your hormones makes you all kinds of angry and me and everyone in the house are in denial that youβre growing up because youβve been the baby for so long our little rainbow who lights up our family and itβs hard for us to accept our baby is blossoming into a young man and every day my heart hurts more thinking how fast itβs all going, and how soon Iβll be forgotten slowly fading into your background
ego finally captured, Iβm calm and humbled the spiral of paranoia is gone no one hates me, no oneβs out to get me it was a false narrative I created in moments of madness it was fake news as I let my emotions get the better of me and control me Iβve gained clarity again
