Still For What?

I don't feel good.  I'm dying inside.  I don't like this feeling of fatigue and raw exhaustion. Every so often I get angry too.  I got mad at my daughter last night when she said she was going to go live with my elder sister.  I told her not to come back home when I fixed the air conditioner.  I don't think it was so much her going to stay over there as it is she lied about it when I asked her.  "I don't know", she said.  I knew that she was not telling the truth. I felt a little betrayed.  It is so typical of the family that I grew up in.  All of my buttons went in and I told her to stay over there and when I got enough money to fix the air conditioner that she couldn't come back home.

She's twenty five.  She can do what she wants.  I was wrong.

To say that I'm unhappy is an understatement.  Miserable is what I am.  I hate working for this company and I want to move on but am finding it absolutely difficult to move on.  When I passed in my resignation, they held on to my legs and begged me not to go.  I conceded, I regret it.  I need to leave that place.  As long as I'm there I feel bogged and weighed down.  The job is not that hard.  I have allowed everyone to heap their baggage on me. It sucks.

What do I do?  I'm still now.  It does not feel peaceful or good.  As long as I'm on the move, I can't feel anything.  That's what has kept me there.  My job is a dark cloud hanging over my head, raining acid and eating away at my core. My boss doesn't get it. I don't get it.  Who in their right mind would stay still for that?

How can I get mad at my daughter for betraying me, when I keep lying to myself? 

THINK about it.
