So I’m supposed to go to Chicago alone on Wednesday

I’ve been waiting to go since November. Now that the trip is right around the corner, I’m terrified. Not because I have to drive 500+ miles on my own, not because Chicago is the murder capital of the US, but because I will be by myself and people will have to focus on just me. I will not have someone with me to deflect attention to. I’ll be alone and people will see me and my ugly, fat gross body.

I’ve got to get it together…

I need to take a step back and reevaluate my relationships, all of them.

The one I need to work on the most is with S. We agreed to be just friends and that’s good, but it’s too hard for me to just shut off feelings. It seems like it’s so easy for him. We still talk every day but sometimes I feel like I’m just his cheerleader. When he forgets about important events, I get hurt. I just need to think about things.

I could just be saying this because I’m in the pits of despair right now too…
